Spray Foam insulation adds the benefit of air sealing which in turn will help your HVAC system do its job more efficiently, increases life expectancy, and lowers your energy costs.
Benefits of Spray Foam Insulation:
Open cell and closed cell serve different benefits. However, both open cell and closed cell spray foam insulation help to reduce heating and cooling expenses, making the home more energy efficient.
Open cell is a softer, more flexible foam. Open cell can reach hard to reach nooks and crannies. Open cell is excellent for soundproofing where a single application can completely fill the area between studs. It is mold growth resistant. Ideal for reducing dust and allergens. Open cell will not break, shrink, or diminish over time. Open cell allows the insulation to breathe it also does not trap moisture.
Closed cell is as the name suggest, completely closed. Air and moisture are unable to get inside the foam making closed cell much more rigid and stable than open cell. Closed cell helps maintain a constant temperature, acts as a vapor barrier preventing moisture and condensation throughout the area where it is installed. Excellent resistance to leakage. Which makes closed cell extremely reliable to be used in both exterior and interior environments.
SPF for roofing is a very effective way to insulate and weatherproof a building: new construction or existing buildings. Some of the benefits: self-flashing, seamless, energy efficient, wind resistance, lightweight and high strength, durability and long lasting. No requirement of tearing off the old roof prior to installation of the foam. The lifespan of an SPF roof can be 50yrs or longer, as long as it’s properly maintained; roof cleaned, primed, and recoated at least every 7-10yrs.
