Open-cell Spray Foam Insulation

Open-cell spray foam is spray-applied as a liquid, expanding to 100 times its volume. Once applied, the product cures within seconds, filling every crack and gap. The tiny cells expand at such a rapid rate that they break apart and fill with air, creating a soft, almost spongy end product.

Closed-cell Spray Foam Insulation

Closed-cell Spray Foam Insulation

Closed-cell spray foam insulation is a more slowly expanding product, resulting in an expansion of approximately 40 times its initial volume. The closed-cell nature of this type of foam creates a tightly packed cell structure that is more rigid and dense than open-cell foam, giving closed-cell foam a higher R-Value per inch.
