Closed Cell Spray Foam Insulation has a
very high R-value rating per thickness of
applied material. This makes the product
especially useful in 2×4 wall cavities where
an R20 can be achieved. This type of
foam is typically installed in walls, attics,
cantilevers and rim joists of your home or
garage.
The other benefit of Closed Cell Spray
Foam is the air tight seal it achieves, and
its resistance to water vapor. Closed Cell
Spray Applied Polyurethane Foam is an
investment that will not only protect your
home against air pollutants and mold, but
will also provide a financial return in the
energy savings it creates for your home.
Did you know that Closed Cell Spray Foam
adds huge structural value to your building?
The strong rigid foam increases the “shear
strength” of a 2x4 wall cavity by 300%. In
some areas, Closed Cell Foam has been
used in roof applications to mitigate the risk
of the roof lifting during a tornado.
With the added structural value, air tight
seal, increased R-value per inch and
mold resistance, Closed Cell Spray Foam
becomes the intelligent choice for your
building. With the new NECB Energy code
in Calgary, spray foam insulation is able to
help meet and exceed new standards.
Open Cell Spray Foam is often used in
tight or difficult to reach areas because of
its high expanding properties. At 100X its
liquid form, open cell spray foam expands
to fill tight rim joists and other challenging
areas.
Open Cell Spray Foam is roughly half the
R-value of closed cell foams and does not
perform as a vapor barrier. - Beyond Foam,
