There are two main types of spray foam insulation: open-cell and closed-cell.
Open-cell insulation is comprised of cells that are not completed encapsulated and intentionally left open creating a more flexible material. It is a good noise reduction option, and when correctly placed, open-cell spray foam insulation outperforms all other types of insulation. Compared to traditional insulation, open-cell foam insulation is a great low-cost alternative with better energy efficiency. It further provides excellent thermal comfort and indoor air quality while helping to decrease the danger of moisture issues. Hence, open-cell commercial spray foam insulation is the sound choice if you’re looking for a budget-friendly insulation solution.
Closed-cell insulation has enclosed cells that are smaller and more dense than open-cell insulation. This insulation is more ridged and is great for creating a water vapour barrier preventing moisture and humidity from passing through. Closed-cell spray foam insulation also has a higher R-value than open-cell insulation.
