Spray Foam Insulation
Highest R-value Insulation
Don’t worry about the mess or headaches. Get the ultimate climate protection for your business. Nothing competes with spray foam’s r-value per square inch and air sealing. We use the best equipment and spray foam products.
Spray foam insulation is a type of polyurethane foam that is a combination of two liquids, isocyanine and polyol resin. It is also known as expanding foam or spray insulation. When combined, isocyanine and polyol resin quickly expand to over 30 times the original volume, filling all gaps, crevices, and voids before curing into a durable, lightweight foam. Spray foam insulation adheres tightly to surfaces like wood framing, plywood, pipes, and electrical cables, creating a virtually airtight seal that prevents air infiltration, while it is aerated.
Open Cell Spray Foam vs. Closed Cell Spray Foam
Open Cell foam is called so because there is room left inside each cell of the foam – think of it as a little air bubble. Because of this, open cell foam tends to be softer and more flexible. While open cell will allow water to pass through, our Icynene open cell spray foam is hydrophobic, meaning that it will only retain less than 5% of any water it comes into contact with and will retain its shape, cell structure and insulating properties as it dries naturally. Other brands of open cell spray foam can retain up to 75% its weight in water.
Closed Cell foam is the exact opposite of open cell foam. There is no space in the cells and they are densely packed together. This causes the foam to be more rigid than open cell while not allowing any air or moisture to get inside or past the foam. Because of the cell structure and the rigidity that it creates, this will also help the structural integrity of the building that it is being installed into.
