TYPES OF SPRAY FOAM INSULATION

There are two types of spray foam insulation: open cell and closed cell.

Open Cell Spray Foam

 In open cell spray foam, the cells are not completely encapsulated making the foam softer and more flexible, causing it to rise when applied. This would include our Enverge EasySeal  and Enverge SucraSeal  products. Open cell spray foam offers lower thermal resistance (R-value) compared to closed-cell foam, but has better sound reduction properties. It’s primarily installed in warmer climates.

Closed Cell Spray Foam

 In closed cell spray foam, the cells are pressed together, creating a more rigid and stable insulating layer versus open cell foam. Closed cell spray foam technology delivers the added benefits of moisture impermeability and structural reinforcement. This means closed cell insulation is an air barrier, vapor barrier, and increases the applied surface’s structural strength by up to 300%!!. Our closed cell spray foam products include the Enverge OnePass and Enverge NexSeal. Closed cell spray foam is denser and has a higher R-value than open cell spray foam, making it the superior thermal insulation.

WHY SPRAY FOAM INSULATION IS SUPERIOR

 Open and closed cell spray foam insulation creates an air barrier preventing unwanted air entry or loss from the home or building. The air sealing performance sets spray foam apart from alternative insulating materials because it reduces energy loss, prevents drafts, and keeps out allergens, dust, and other air pollutants

Closed cell insulation delivers the added benefits of a vapor barrier and structural reinforcement. Learn more about how spray foam insulation performs compared to fiberglass insulation, the most commonly used residential insulation

BRINGING THE BENEFITS OF SPRAY FOAM INSULATION TO LIFE IN YOUR HOME

KEY BENEFITS OF SPRAY FOAM:

The versatility of spray foam, coupled with its superior insulating and sealing capabilities, makes it an invaluable home investment.

✔️ Spray foam insulated attics are sealed, preventing heat loss in winter and heat gain in summer.

✔️ Spray foam seals and insulates ducts, minimizing energy loss and    enhancing HVAC system efficiency.

✔️ In walls, spray foam creates a continuous thermal barrier, minimizing energy transfer and maintaining indoor comfort.

✔️ Spray foam insulation can save up to 50% on monthly heating and cooling expenses.

✔️ Spray foam installed in a garage helps regulate home temperature,  especially if the garage is connected to the house.

MORE SPRAY FOAM BENEFITS

Lowers Monthly Heating and Cooling Costs - Spray foam can save up to 50% or more on monthly heating and cooling costs by reducing HVAC system usage.

 

Lowers Long-Term Heating and Cooling Costs - A home with spray foam is usually able to downsize its HVAC unit. When it comes time to replace the HVAC unit, it won’t be as expensive as it would be with alternative insulating materials.

 

Increase Indoor Comfort - Spray foam creates more consistent temperatures in living spaces by keeping conditioned air inside and unconditioned air outside.

 

Healthier Indoor Air Quality - Spray foam creates an air barrier that reduces entry of dust, pollen, and other outdoor contaminants improving indoor air quality.

 

Long-Term Performance - Backed by a limited lifetime warranty, spray foam will not need to be replaced like traditional insulation.

 

Contributes to Sustainable Building - Reducing a home’s energy usage from heating and cooling lowers its carbon footprint, reducing its impact on the environment.

 

Ultimately, spray foam delivers superior insulation and air sealing performance, making homes and buildings more energy-efficient and comfortable year-round. Whether you're looking to lower energy bills, increase comfort, or improve indoor air quality, spray foam is the perfect solution.
