What Are the Benefits of Spray Foam Insulation?

Spray foam insulation advantages include:

  • Seals as it insulates: Seals attics, roofs and walls to help prevent structural moisture damage like wood rot or mold in leaky, condensation-prone areas.
  • Saves money and prevents energy loss: Spray foam’s sealing effect lowers energy bills, preventing outdoor air from getting in and blocking conditioned air from getting out.
  • Expands to fill cavities: Spray foam fills irregular, small areas around plumbing pipes and wiring when insulating crawl spaces, etc.
  • Strengthens roof and walls: Enhances wind resistance and minimizes pressurization.
  • Offers high thermal resistance: Very efficient insulator with an R-value of R-6.
  • Dampens sound: Helps silence traffic noise, noise between rooms and floors, etc.
  • Won’t attract insects/pests: Pests can’t feed on or nest in spray foam.

Why Choose a Professional Insulation Contractor?

There are significant risks when using spray foam as a DIY project. For a successful, cost-effective and safe insulation project, you need:

  • Special pro-grade equipment: You need professional-quality spray guns, heat-tolerant hoses, air compressors, proportioning equipment, disposable coveralls, respirators and more.
  • Proper ventilation: Polyurethane spray foam contains and emits substances that can be harmful if the area isn’t properly ventilated with industrial exhaust fans.
  • Correct chemical “recipe”: The chemicals used in spray foam must be correctly mixed for effective insulation performance. Otherwise, foam may not adhere properly, and it can pull loose from the building structure.
  • Superior quality control: Small missed spots or gaps can reduce energy efficiency.
  • Installation experience to prevent a fire hazard: Spraying too quickly or thickly makes the curing process dangerous, and could start a fire.
  • Expert prep and technique: Expert spray foam installers must maintain proper balance between spray pressure, heat level and application tool position. Spray gun operation is challenging, with clogs common if not properly used. Correct curing time for your specific mixture and thickness is required, otherwise you risk insulation cracking, shrinkage and/or poorly bonding.
  • Proper work-area containment: If you don’t carefully control the insulation work area like the pros do when using spray foam, building occupants can be exposed to potentially harmful spray foam chemicals.
  • Serious asbestos concerns: In homes or buildings built before 1980, you’ll likely touch or disturb asbestos when adding new insulation. This exposes household occupants to lung scarring and mesothelioma (cancer). Never disturb asbestos insulation ― have an expert assess the situation, so you’re not at risk.

Closed-Cell Spray vs Open-Cell Spray FoamJohns Mansville Spray Foam

What is the Difference between Open-cell and Closed-cell Polyurethane Foams? Closed-cell spray polyurethane foam (SPF) is one of the most advanced insulation solutions available, providing nearly twice the R-value of open-cell foam per inch. Open-cell SPF has an R-value around 3.5 per inch and typically uses water as the blowing agent. Closed-cell SPF has an R-value of around 6.9 per inch (aged R-value) and uses high R-value blowing agents. Open-cell spray polyurethane foam (SPF) is low-density, nonstructural insulation. Its low-density allows for an incredible yield, offering an excellent value. The cellular structure of open-cell foam provides air isolation and versatile range of R-values, resulting in energy savings, improved indoor air quality and increased comfort. Both types of polyurethane foam insulation:

  • Have extreme durability, expanding and fully adhering to surfaces, strengthening the structure of a home.
  • Provide incredible thermal performance and can be installed in areas that would be inaccessible or difficult for other forms of insulation.
  • Effectively isolate air currents and moisture, reducing the chance of mold or mildew and increasing the life of a home.

When to Use Open Cell or Closed Cell Spray Foam

When it comes time to actually put the foam product in your home or commercial building structure, you must identify whether you will use .05 lb./cu. ft., open cell foam, or 2.0 lb./cu. ft. closed cell foam. This makes a big difference in cost, application methods, and performance. The advantages of closed-cell foam compared to open-cell foam include its strength and higher R-value. The disadvantage of the closed-cell foam is that it is often more expensive and typically needs to be covered with an ignition barrier. Both types of foam are commonly used in most building applications and the choice for which to use can depend on the particular situation. For example, you typically would not use open-cell foam below grade or in flotation applications where it could absorb water; this would negate its thermal performance because water is a poor insulator compared to air. Closed-cell foam would be a good choice where small framing sizes need the greatest R-value per inch possible.
