Closed Cell Spray Foam Insulation
SPF, or closed-cell spray, is a low-expansion, spray-applied plastic insulation solution that produces an air seal wherever it is applied. It is commonly known, and preferred, due to the extremely high R-Value. Another typical feature of closed-cell spray foam is that it is known to be exceptionally resistant to heat transfer and provides an excellent solution to prevent air invasion.
Advantages of Closed Cell Spray Foam
At Chandler Spray Foam Insulation, we realize how difficult it can be for most property owners to select the best insulation option for their needs. Closed-cell spray foam insulation is not only effective at creating an air seal, but it also has several other advantages that should be taken into consideration. Closed-cell spray foam is exceptionally robust, allowing it to be kept exposed and survive harsh weather elements. It is also an excellent choice for a variety of buildings due to its low expansion rate. It does not retain water and does not permit moisture to pass through it. When it comes to mold and mildew, closed-cell spray foam is seen as an additional protective barrier as it blocks any harmful growth.
Closed Cell Spray Foam Expansion, R-Value, and Vapor Barrier
Closed Cell Spray Foam Insulation offers a denser solution, one cubic foot of closed-cell spray foam insulation can have a density of approximately 1.75 pounds. Closed-cell foam is designed to expand to a thickness of about 1″ when sprayed. Since each inch provides an R-value of 7, you can make multiple applications to achieve higher R-values. In addition, closed-cell spray foam also acts as a vapor barrier, so water will be less likely to enter your property, and the foam insulation will also not be affected by any water.
