- Discover a better way to improve your home and protect the things you love. Closed-cell spray foam is an insulation material that offers the highest R-value per inch and eliminates gaps in the building envelope that you experience with traditional pre-cut insulation. This means better control of moisture, drafts, noise and other environmental effects. Year after year you will benefit from lower utility bills for both heating and cooling. Day after day your family will enjoy the comfort of more consistent indoor temperatures and superior air quality.
Residential homeowners closed-cell spray foam offers you the following benefits:
Higher energy efficiency
Exceptional air sealing and high R-value reduces heating & cooling costs.
Increased comfort
Drafts are virtually eliminated and a more constant indoor temperature is maintained.
Improved indoor air quality
Helps prevent uncontrolled outdoor air infiltration and the penetration of pollutants, as well as dust, pollen and other allergens.
Better moisture and condensation control
Spray foam offers superior performance in resisting moisture transmission and condensation. Condensation inside the building envelope can develop harmful mold and mildew and deteriorate building materials.
Sound barrier
Spray foam can help reduce noise transfer and sound penetration.
- Closed-cell spray foam insulation can help builders attract buyers, reduce construction costs, and reap the rewards. Not only does closed-cell spray foam allow you to build more energy-efficient homes that today’s buyers want, it also helps you do it for less. Thanks to it's superior insulating and building envelope capabilities, you can effectively downsize HVAC equipment and eliminate steps for airtightness while achieving premium sales prices. Plus, it allows for added flexibility in framing and covers a wide range of applications, like wall, roof, basement, rim joist, and architectural details. And compared to other insulation, it can reduce your overall construction time – making closed-cell spray foam a differentiator that can add more to your business.
Residential home builders closed-cell spray foam offers you the following benefits:
Higher energy efficiency
Exceptional air sealing and R-values greater than 6 per inch result in heating & cooling cost savings. This can allow smaller stud and rafter sizes for increased living space and simplified framing. Drafts are virtually eliminated and a more constant and comfortable indoor environment and temperature is maintained.
Better moisture and condensation control
Closed-cell spray foam offers superior performance in resisting moisture transmission and condensation because of its low water vapor permeance. When sprayed at a 2” thickness, it provides a vapor retarder with a 1 perm rating.
Increased structural strength
Research performed has shown 2x4 stud walls with closed-cell spray foam can support up to three times greater racking loads than with other insulation materials. Wind uplift resistance can be increased up to three times when closed-cell spray foam is applied under a roof deck.
Improved indoor air quality
Helps prevent uncontrolled outdoor air infiltration and the penetration of dust, pollen and other allergens, creating a cleaner, more comfortable work environment.
Building Envelope barrier
Spray foam can help reduce noise transfer and sound penetration because of its Sound Transmission Class (STC) rating of 37. It also has ability to control air flow because it’s an excellent air barrier. It even has the ability to control insects and rodents from entering the building because it acts as a continuous and seamless building envelope barrier.
HVAC equipment downsizing
Tightening the house envelope enables the use of smaller HVAC equipment. Spray foaming under the roof deck creates semi-conditioned attic space for air handling units and ductwork, allowing the HVAC system to operate more efficiently.
Construction simplification
Eliminates multiple installation steps for air barriers, detailing and vapor retarders where required by code. One-step installation can help reduce construction time and simplifies subcontractor scheduling.
Wide range of applications
Can be used in both wood & metal framed structures, including walls, floors, ceilings, under roof decks, on attic floors, crawl spaces, basements and foundations.
