What is Spray Foam

You can choose to do open cell foam or closed cell foam. Open cell foam is lower in cost over closed cell foam. Open cell foam spray has a density of half a pound per cubic foot. Open cell foam is not as dense as closed cell foam, which allows for the possibility for a low level of moisture to permeate the insulation. The open cell may not be the best option for high humidity moisture rich climates. But it’s possible that less of the spray foam to be used in the installation process.

Closed cell foam spray has a density of 2 pounds per cubic foot. Because of the higher density, it is the reason why the cost is greater than open cell foam spray insulation. Closed cell spray foam is so dense it drastically increases the moisture barrier. Which makes this ideal for high humidity, moisture-rich climates, providing you with the higher level of energy savings.

Additionally, The Federal Emergency Management Agency, otherwise known as FEMA, has classified spray foam insulation as significantly resistant to damage from flood water. As spray foam can survive the moisture and drying process and its ability to be cleaned afterward frees spray foam from being contaminated from pollutants in flood waters.
