90% of our commercial spray foam projects are done with closed cell spray foam, the industry leading insulation material for commercial building applications.
Closed cell spray foam is a type of insulation that is applied as a liquid and expands quickly to form a rigid foam. It’s made of polyurethane and is generally used as insulation for walls, ceilings, and attics, known for providing an effective barrier against air infiltration and serving as a moisture barrier, and its closed-cell structure makes it more resistant to water and air than open-cell insulation.
Commercial spray foam applications will outperform every other insulation option on the market.
The benefits of closed cell spray foam include:
Fiberglass insulation is a popular insulation material made from spun glass fibers, typically used to insulate residential homes, buildings and other structures. It’s lightweight and easy to install, and it helps reduce energy costs by blocking heat transfer. Fiberglass insulation is available in batts, rolls, blow-in and foam board form. The primary drawback of fiberglass is its relatively low R-value (2 per inch) and that it can absorb moisture, leading to potential mold, mildew, and even rotting issues down the road. It also does not serve as a good air barrier, meaning drafts can compromise the entire reason for insulating in the first place – a warmer space!
Blown cellulose insulation is a type of insulation made from finely chopped recycled paper, cardboard, and other plant-based or recycled materials. It’s made by grinding the materials down and then treating them with an adhesive and flame retardant. The material is then blown into the walls of a home or building using a special machine. Blown cellulose insulation is effective for old construction where you’re trying to get into existing walls or ceilings, but its R-value of about 4 per inch makes it inferior to closed cell foam. Additionally, it does not provide moisture resistance or block air leakage.
Open cell foam is another type of spray foam made up of cells that are interconnected, forming a network of pores. It’s usually made of polyurethane or latex, and is used primarily for interior insulation (between indoor walls), for soundproofing, and even for padding in some instances. The main drawback of open cell foam is that it has poor water resistance. It cannot withstand water or moisture, and may become damaged or pose a mildew threat if exposed to bulk water or even small leaks. Open cell foam’s R-value of about 5 makes it a quality insulator, but the shortcomings above mean it’s not ideal for most settings where it may be up against exterior walls, roofing, or ceilings.
Closed cell foam has an R-value of an astonishing 7 per inch, making it the most powerful insulator among these options, even effective in small or thin spaces where you may not be able to get much cellulose or batting.
Additionally, closed cell foam dries hard and rigid, is fully water-proof, and creates a tight seal to eliminate the risk of drafts and air leaks.
For most commercial applications, frequently underneath roofing or along exterior walls, closed cell foam is absolutely the insulation of choice.
