Spray foam insulation is simply the best insulating material available today. It can seal your home from air and moisture intrusion, save on expensive home heating and cooling costs, strengthen your home, and protect your family’s health from dangerous mould, airborne pollutants, and other allergens. Spray foam insulation is an alternative to traditional building insulation such as fiberglass. A two-component mixture composed of Isocyanate and resin comes together at the tip of a gun, and forms an expanding foam that is sprayed onto roof tiles, concrete slabs, into wall cavities, or through holes drilled in into a cavity of a finished wall as a liquid and quickly transforms into thick, hard foam insulation. There are two categories of foam: half-pound open-cell foam and higher density two-pound closed-cell foam, which acts as a unique air and moisture barrier in one.
Signs of Insulation Problems in the Winter
Spray foam insulation can be categorized into two different types: open cell and closed cell.
Open Cell Foam Insulation Open cell is a type of foam where the tiny cells are not completely closed. open cell is less expensive because it uses less chemicals. It is a very good air barrier but does not provide any type of water vapor barrier. It is much more sponge like in appearance. It is often used for interior walls because it provides an optimum sound barrier. It is not recommended for outdoor applications.

Closed cell foam insulation is a much more dense type of foam than open cell. It has a smaller, more compact cell structure. It is a very good air barrier as well as a water vapor barrier. It is often used in roofing projects or other outdoor applications, but can be used anywhere in the home
