Key Benefits of Closed Cell Spray Foam in Residential Homes

 

🔥 1. Exceptional Thermal Performance

 

•  Highest R-value per inch (typically 6.0–7.0), outperforming fiberglass, cellulose, and rock wool.

•  Reduces heat loss in winter and heat gain in summer, lowering HVAC demand.

 

💨 2. Superior Air Sealing

 

•  Expands to fill gaps and cracks, creating a continuous air barrier.

•  Minimizes drafts and prevents conditioned air from escaping, improving indoor comfort.

 

💧 3. Moisture and Vapor Resistance

 

•  Closed cell structure resists water absorption and acts as a vapour barrier, reducing mold risk.

•  Ideal for basements, crawl spaces, and humid environments.

 

🧱 4. Structural Strength

 

•  Adds rigidity to walls and roofs, enhancing building durability.

•  Can improve wind resistance and reduce structural movement.

 

🔇 5. Noise Reduction

 

•  Provides moderate sound dampening, especially when applied to walls and ceilings.

•  While not as effective as open cell foam for acoustics, it still contributes to quieter interiors.

 

🌱 6. Energy Efficiency and Savings

 

•  Reduces energy bills by up to 50% in some homes due to reduced thermal bridging and air leakage.

•  Qualifies for rebates or incentives in many regions focused on energy-efficient upgrades.

 

🛠️ 7. Longevity and Low Maintenance

 

•  Lasts 30+ years with minimal degradation.

•  Doesn’t settle or sag over time like some traditional insulations
