Spray Foam Insulation

Spray Foam Facts

  Spray Polyurethane Foam Insulation provides:

 

  • Energy Efficient Homes: heating and cooling costs can be reduced as much as 50%.

 

  • A Reduction of Heating and Air Conditioning tonnage as much as 35% without the loss of efficiency and comfort.

 

  • Draft Free Environment: sealing of cracks, joints, etc…, will prevent uncontrolled movement of air through the wall assemblies.

 

  • Dust Free: homes insulated with Spray Polyurethane Foam Insulation show a remarkable reduction of dust accumulation

 

  • Quiet homes: the open cells and the semi-rigid polyurethane mass wil absorb and reduce the sound transmission

 

  • Improved Air Quality

 

  • Stable Insulation: not subjected to structural deterioration or decomposition, will not settle

 

  • Strong Adhesion to the Surface

 

  • Comfort!

 

  •  

    And much more!

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

2LB Closed Cell

 

 

R-value per inch: about 6.5 to 7

 

Closed-cell foam isn't cheap, but it provides a much higher R-value per inch than open-cell foam. Because of its density and glue-like tenacity, it also adds structural strength to a wall, ceiling, or roof assembly.


 

  • Can be applied at very low temperatures (as low as 5oF)

 

  • Ideal for continuous insulation solutions

 

  • Higher R-value* per inch  â€“ easier to accommodate high R-value* requirements in narrow spaces

 

  • Lower vapor permeance (can be a Class II VDR)

 

  • Can reject bulk water (ideal for flood zones)

 

  • Higher tensile and bond strength

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

1/2LB Open Cell

 

 

R-value per inch: about 3.6

 

Although open-cell foam costs less than closed-cell foam, it has a lower R-value per inch, so a thicker layer is required. If the framing members are deep enough to accommodate your required R-value, open-cell foam may end up costing less.

 

  • Can be installed at a significantly lower cost and target the same specified R-value*

 

  • Can achieve greater R-value* if not restricted by space

 

  • Lower raw material/resource use

 

  • Permits bi-directional drying

 

  • Will accommodate long-term creep and seasonal movement

 

  • Hydrophobic material

 

  • Air barrier and insulating material
