Spray Foam Insulation

Open Cell Spray Foam 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

Closed Cell Spray Foam Insulation

Closed cell spray foam insulation is ideal for environments where a moisture or air barrier is required. This solution can also be used for structural support as well as exterior applications due to its dense nature.

Wherever extra strength is required or in cases where high levels of insulation are needed, closed cell spray foam insulation is the perfect choice. The advantageof closed cell insulation is that by its very nature it is dense in structure, therefore offering optimum thermal resistance and strength to any structure.

Closed cell insulation spray foam is ideal for environments that require environmental barriers against elements such as moisture. This means that dense structure of the foam is not porous and will not allow any moisture or vapour to pass through.

Whilst slightly more expensive than open cell spray foam insulation, this solution is well worth the initial investment and offers a number of money and energy saving benefits

Some interesting facts about open cell spray foam insulation

• Closed cell insulation foam is denser and therefore more rigid than the softer open cell option, which is used most often in residential buildings and homes.
• Both open cell and closed cell insulation spray foam produce a seal against air, making either a great option for those who are looking to increase the energy efficiency of their home.
• Closed cell foam has a higher R-value than traditional insulation methods such as fibreglass or mineral wool.

Where to use closed cell foam insulation spray:

Closed cell spray foam insulation is ideal for use in the following applications:

• Industrial units
• Containers
• Agricultural roofing or flat roofs
• Refrigeration units
• Walls
• Sheds
• Unbeatable sound dampening qualities
• Eliminates draughts and heat loss through the roof of your home and other problematic areas.

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.
