Why Spray Foam

WHAT IS SPRAY FOAM INSULATION?

Spray foam (SPF) is a versatile insulation used in residential, commercial, agricultural, and industrial applications. Spray foam is typically applied as a liquid that expands into a solid foam, filling gaps and crevices in walls, ceilings, and attics.

Types of Spray Foam

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.
