An Overview of Open-Cell Spray Foam Insulation Open-cell spray foam insulation is soft. The cell walls are broken, and air fills up all of the open space inside the material. Open-cell typically comes in a .5 lbs/cu.ft. density. The advantage of this lower density is that it provides an economic yield, making it about half the cost of closed-cell foam insulation. A few important features of open-cell insulation include: ... Expands to 120x its original size Water passes through it, making it easy to detect leaks in the roof line Excellent noise reductionabout twice as effective as closed-cell foam Open-cell foam is used in a wide range of applications, such as for noise reduction in sound rooms, home insulation, metal buildings, under roof deck for semi-conditioned attics, and more. An Overview of Closed-Cell Spray Foam Insulation Closed-cell spray foam insulation is highly efficient. This structural insulation makes for an incredibly effective air barrier, and with its low moisture vapor permeability, it’s highly resistant to water. Its density is typically 2 lbs/cu.ft. Closed-cell foam also offers one of the highest R-values (resistance to heat flow) of any insulation on the market. A few other important features of closed-cell insulation include: Increases structural strength by up to 200-300x Common applications for closed-cell insulation include wine rooms, metal buildings, containers, and cold floors. www.fincosteel.ca
