Spray Foam
If you’re looking for a high R-value, peak performance insulation material for optimal energy efficiency and building comfort, Spray Foam may be a good option for you.
Spray Foam is a leading high perfomance insulation material,
offering the highest R-value per inch of any of the major insulation materials on the market.
We offer both open cell and closed cell Spray Foam, and we’re happy to work with you to help you determine the best option for your home or building.
Unlike Fiberglass and Cellulose insulation, Foam insulation is applied in a liquid form that quickly expands to completely fill the space between gaps. Such complete coverage prevents air leakage and keeps utility bills low. Foam insulation is durable, stable and long lasting, and can be used on walls, roofs, attics and inaccessible areas.
Principles of Heat Transfer
Heat loss or gain can occur through the building envelop, affecting insulation effectiveness, by six mechanisms.
1. Conduction
The transfer of heat through materials in contact with insulation.
4. Air Infiltration
The transfer of heat by air flow between the exterior and interior.
2. Convection
The movement of hot and cold air in your walls.
5. Moisture Accumulation
Moisture within the insulation that leads to heat loss/gain.
3. Radiation
The transfer of heat through your walls and roof.
6. Air Intrusion
The movement of outside air into your home and then back out.
Spray Foam effectively blocks all six mechanisms of heat transfer.

Energy Efficiency Performance
High R-value
Closed Cell
– Can be applied at very low temperatures
– Adds wall racking strength as well as impact resistance
– Ideal for continuous insulation solutions
– Higher R-value* per inch
– Lower vapor permeance (can be a Class II VDR)
– Can reject bulk water (ideal for flood zones)
– Higher tensile and bond strength
Open Cell
– Can be installed at a significantly lower cost and target the same specified R-value*
– Can achieve greater R-value* if not restricted by space
– Lower raw material/resource use
– Permits bi-directional drying
– Will accommodate long-term creep and seasonal movement
– Hydrophobic material
– Air barrier and insulating material
*R-Value is a measure of a material’s ability to resist heat flow. A high R-value is desirable when choosing insulation.
