​​What are the advantages of spray foam insulation?

Installation
Both varieties of spray foam are simple and quick to install, with little clean-up required afterward. Spray foam can be used everywhere in your home and will seal even the slightest air leaks and areas where it is placed.

Saving Money And The Planet
Did you know that installing spray foam insulation in your home can help you save up to 40% on your household energy bills? The most common source of energy loss in your home or building is air leaks. Air leaks can be minor and difficult to detect, but they still exist, and any air leaks are the equivalent of leaving a little window open while trying to keep heat in during the winter or cool in during the summer. While your heating and cooling systems are working overtime to raise your power bills, any air leaks in the building are working against them, leading to the warm or cool air you want to stay inside to escape.

Life Expectancy
Spray foam insulation has a longer life expectancy than other types of insulation when placed by a trained professional insulation contractor. Because it does not hold water, mold, or mildew, and it does not crumble or collapse, premium closed cell spray foam does not require maintenance like other insulation types. Pests and rodents cannot utilize closed or open cell spray foam as nesting materials since it is inedible and so cannot be torn or chewed up and brought away to their nest/base. ​This is especially essential because it is a common problem with other types of insulation, and the last thing you want after paying for high-quality insulation is for pests and critters to profit more than you! Furthermore, once all air leaks and cracks have been properly plugged in by a total spray foam application, pests that could get in through those spaces will be unable to enter your home or office.

​What Are the Differences Between Open Cell and Closed Cell Insulation

 -Open cell has a lighter composition than closed cell, but it expands significantly, making it suitable for the small, hard to reach areas in your home.

-Open cell foam is often blown with water, whereas closed cell spray foam is blown with a chemical spray.

-Water can frequently make its way through open spray foam, but closed cell spray foam is fully impervious. Although water-resistant spray foam may appear to be the better of the two alternatives, open cell spray foam, despite water being able to travel through it, is superior in some situations. One example would be the roof deck of an attic, where the discoloration of the foam caused by water would provide an immediate indication of where the buildup is so you could take action, whereas with closed cell foam, you wouldn't know about the leak until the water built up elsewhere and caused bigger problems.

-Open cell is also a superior sound dampener.

-Closed cell foam has a higher R value and will thereby reduce heat flow better.

-You may have heard that closed cell spray is preferable to open cell spray. However, this is not always the case. The type of insulation you employ depends on a variety of elements and situations, including the part of the property that requires insulation.

Where Can Spray Foam Insulation Be Used?

Spray foam insulation can be sprayed to a variety of surfaces and can be used in practically any part of your house or business. Spray foam can be added to a variety of different materials. Poured concrete, pipes, metal framing, brick, cinder block, plywood, and a variety of other materials are among them. Spray foam can be used in a variety of regions of a home or company, including the basement, crawlspace, attic, and many more places in between. Spray foam insulation can be applied to walls, doors, floors, ceilings (including cathedral and uneven ceilings), door frames, and any windows, ducts, or pipes. Spray foam is also useful for insulating hot tubs, swimming pools, spas, and saunas.

Is it true that spray foam insulation is soundproof?

Even though it is not completely soundproof, spray foam insulation has several amazing features that allow for a significant level of noise reduction, more so than other types of insulation. Spray foam closes air leaks and traps air, and since any soundwaves that generate noise must travel through the air to reach your ears, any space that has been insulated on all sides, including the floors and ceilings with spray foam insulation will experience a large level of sound reduction. Blocking or lowering undesirable sounds might help you avoid outside distractions, get a better night's sleep, or just avoid noise pollution from traffic, obnoxious neighbors, or other disturbing external noises.
