Open or Close Cell?
To make an informed decision on the best insulation solution for your needs, it’s essential to understand the unique properties and applications of open-cell and closed-cell spray foam insulation. Whether you aim to enhance energy efficiency, improve soundproofing, or add structural support, F.I.C. provides the expertise and products to meet your requirements.
What is Open-Cell Spray Foam Insulation?
Open-cell spray foam insulation is a lightweight, flexible material made up of cells that are not fully encapsulated. This structure allows air to fill the gaps within the foam, making it less dense and more permeable compared to closed-cell foam. Typically, open-cell foam is applied as a liquid that expands and cures into a foam, creating a highly effective air-permeable barrier.
What is Closed-Cell Spray Foam Insulation?
Closed-cell spray foam insulation is a high-density, rigid insulation material composed of cells that are completely encapsulated, preventing air and moisture from penetrating the foam. This structure makes closed-cell foam highly resistant to water and vapor, providing superior thermal insulation and structural support. Like open-cell foam, it is applied as a liquid that expands and cures into a solid foam.
