R-values double that of other insulation materials
Closed cell polyurethane spray foam is among the most efficient insulating materials commercially available, with R-values double that of other insulation materials. Closed-cell polyurethane foams are usually characterized by their rigidity and strength, in addition to the high R-Value. The closed-cell nature of this foam provides for a highly effective air barrier, low moisture vapor permeability (often referred to as the “Perm” rating), and excellent resistance to water.
- Achieves an R-Value double that of other insulation materials
- Is a moisture barrier when applied at a thickness of 50mm or more
- Provides dramatic savings in heating & cooling costs
- Suitable for exterior and below grade applications as it rejects water
- Creates a seamless air barrier
- Prevents the growth of mold
- Highest cost/output ratio of all the various foam types
Closed cell spray foam insulation is applied as a liquid expanding 40 times its volume in a matter of seconds. Closed cell spray foam is a higher density foam and therefore feels more stiff than lower density foams. In addition, the closed-cell nature of this foam provides for a highly effective air barrier, low moisture vapor permeability (often referred to as the “Perm” rating), and excellent resistance to water.
Closed-cell polyurethane foams are usually characterized by their rigidity and strength, in addition to the high R-Value. Also, studies show that wall racking strength can by doubled or tripled when closed cell foam is applied.
