Why would I want to use a closed cell instead of an open cell foam?


1. R-Value - Closed cell foams have a superior R-Value per inch. This can be extremely important if you have limited space.

2. Extremely durable and rigid - Closed cell foams are durable enough for exposed applications. Closed cell foams are so rigid that they add to the structural integrity of the building.

3. Vapor Barrier - In high humidity structures, closed cell foams (after 2 inches in thickness) meet vapor barrier, air barrier and insulation requirements in a one step application.

Good applications for closed cell foam

  • Exteriors
  • High humidity applications i.e. Indoor pools
  • Industrial shops or warehouses

NOTE: All Spray foams are plastics and require a 15-minute thermal barrier separation from occupants.
