Open Cell

Open cell spray insulation foam has many applications and is ideal for insulating any home. Also known as low-density insulation foam, this unique application provides an air-sealing barrier to leave your home as energy efficient as possible.

The primary uses for open cell foam insulation spray are:

• Attic insulation
• Ceiling insulation
• Floor insulation
• Crawl space insulation

Because of its foam-like structure, open cell insulation also provides unbeatable noise dampening qualities, meaning your home is not just warm and energy efficient but protected from noise pollution.

Using an insulation that is moisture resistant could be problematic in the event of undetected leaks in the roof or other areas below or above the insulation layer.

When insulating along the pitch, a 50mm deep ventilation void must be provided through the introduction of a breathable rafter card. It is necessary to maintain continuity of cross ventilation and ventilation must be designed to avoid creating pockets of stagnant air.

Open cell spray foam insulation provides a 100% air seal. This brings lifelong savings in gas, oil and electricity bills. In warmer climes this air seal keeps the air cool and cuts down on the need for air conditioning. Perhaps not such a concern here in Ireland!

Cost: The cost of open cell spray foam insulation is much less than closed cell and brings many extra cost saving benefits over the lifetime of your home. Speak to us to get a quote for your home or office space.

Some interesting facts about open cell spray foam insulation

• Open cell insulation is easy to work with, pliable and ideal for residential insulation.
• Very high expansion rate – means application time is much shorter than that of closed cell insulation.
• Uses water as its blowing agent – no chemical residue or odour.
• Unbeatable sound dampening qualities.
• Eliminates draughts and heat loss through the roof of your home and other problematic areas.

Because open cell insulation is pliable and porous in its structure it will shift and settle with the building as it ages and weathers. A once in a lifetime investment means you will never have to worry about your insulation again. There is no deterioration in quality with spray foam insulation.
