What Is Closed Cell Spray Foam Insulation?

Closed cell spray foam insulation is a high-density insulation that provides greater resistance to water vapor than open cell spray foam. Its tiny foam cells are closed and packed tightly together. When filled with gas, the foam rises and expands to become a greater insulator. It is used on roofs or concrete slabs and in wall or attic cavities, and it can be utilized in difficult-to-reach areas.

What Is Open Cell Spray Foam Insulation?

Open cell spray foam insulation is a low-density, nonstructural insulation product. The tiny cells of the foam are not completely closed – they are broken. Air fills the open space inside the material, making the foam softer than closed cell foam. It has many great performance features, including reduction of air infiltration, soundproofing and durability.
