Open Cell Spray Foam Features Economical and Environmental Benefits

Open cell spray foam insulation has incredible expansion properties and is less dense than other types of insulation. It expands up to 100 times its original liquid size upon contact, making it especially practical for use in hard-to-reach and oddly shaped spaces in homes.

Once an experienced open cell spray foam contractor applies the liquid, it cures within 20 seconds and expands to conform to the contours of the space, reducing the likelihood of cracks and holes in the insulation barrier that could cause leaks and drafts. As a result, open cell spray foam insulation increases the energy efficiency of homes by 30% to 50%.

Another important feature of this insulation is the “open” cells, which contain dead air. This construction gives open cell foam an R-Value of 3.6-per-inch and creates a built-in barrier that ensures minimal loss of that R-Value under adverse weather conditions.

The same cannot be said for fiberglass insulation. Additionally, the light, low-density of the foam means that less material is needed in comparison to closed cell foam, making open cell spray foam service the more economical spray foam insulation option.
