What’s the Difference Between Open Cell and Closed Cell Foam Insulation?
Open and closed cell spray foam for insulation are 2 different types of foam that both have there own use cases and pros and cons. One is not necessarily better than the other. It comes down to the situation, and choosing the right type that fits your needs.
Let’s start by looking at the differences between open and closed cell foams.
Closed Cell Spray Foam Insulation
Is the best choice for pure insulation where space is an issue, as it can achieve 2x the R-Value of open cell inside a standard wall, attic, or basement. Its stiff & rigid nature so it also adds to the structural integrity of the home or commercial building. The closed cell also acts as a vapor barrier, so mold will be much less probable to develop inside the home, and the foam itself is unharmed by any sort of water damage.
Open Cell Spray Foam Insulation
The main benefit of open cell spray foam is the rapid expansion after it has been applied. Meaning it can insulate hard to reach nooks and crannies in a home. These types of areas can be difficult to reach with closed cell foam. Open cell foam is excellent for soundproofing, a single application can fill the entire area between studs.
Open cell foam is also more affordable than closed cell foam, but the downside is that it won’t insulate a house as well as closed cell foam, so it’s not ideal for locations with extreme weather like our frigid winters, because you will be paying much more on your utility bills each month due to its inferior ability to insulate.
