What Is Open Cell Foam Insulation?
Open-cell foam insulation is a type of spray foam insulation known for its ability to expand and form a spongy, open-cell structure, which provides excellent thermal insulation while allowing some air and moisture permeability, making it ideal for specific applications like soundproofing and roof decks.
Open Cell Spray Foam:
Air impermeable properties, ideal for soundproofing.
Lower R-Value than its counterpart, closed cell foam.
Sustainable insulation, highly energy efficient.
Highly expansive form of foam insulation.
Open cell composition for acoustic insulation.
Prevents the growth of mould.
Why is Open-cell foam typically cheaper than closed-cell foam insulation?
Expansion and Coverage: Open-cell foam expands more than closed-cell foam, covering a larger area with less material. This means that you can achieve the same insulation performance with less foam, reducing material costs.
R-Value: While open-cell foam has a lower R-value per inch compared to closed-cell foam, it is an effective insulator in many applications. For projects where a slightly lower R-value is acceptable, open-cell foam offers cost savings.
Versatility: Open-cell foam is well-suited for insulating large, open areas such as wall cavities and attics, where its lower cost per square foot can make it an attractive choice.
Benefits of Open Cell Foam Insulation
Expansive
It expands nearly 100 times its initial spray application, effectively insulating every nook and cranny of your property.
Soundproofing
Green Tech Solutions Open-cell foam offers exceptional soundproofing qualities, effectively mitigating noise pollution.
Cost-Effective
Spray foam insulation, in contrast to closed-cell foam, offers a more budget-friendly alternative while maintaining high effectiveness.
It Is Sustainable
You can minimize your environmental impact with our 100% water-blown open-cell spray foam insulation.
Air Impermeable
It enhances soundproofing by creating an airtight barrier, it’s particularly beneficial for residences.
It's Odourless
It is completely (100%) devoid of noxious gases, and our odourless spray foam application delivers exceptional results.
Energy Efficient
Proper insulation ensures year-round temperature control, resulting in significant energy cost savings for your property.
Prevents Mould
Green Tech Solutions’ open-cell structure enables breathable insulation, effectively inhibiting mold growth.
Open Cell Foam Areas of Application
Open-cell foam insulation has various areas of application due to its unique characteristics and properties. Some common areas where open-cell foam insulation is used include:
Above-Grade Exterior Walls: Open-cell spray foam is an excellent choice for insulating above-grade exterior walls. It expands to fill wall cavities, creating an effective thermal barrier and reducing heat transfer through the walls.
Roof Lines: Insulating roof lines with open-cell foam can help prevent heat gain in the upper levels of a building. It’s commonly used in sloped or cathedral ceilings where access may be limited. Open-cell foam can be sprayed directly to the underside of the roof deck to create an airtight and insulated barrier.
Attic Floors: Applying open-cell foam to attic floors is an energy-efficient approach to insulating the space below. It helps maintain a consistent temperature in the living areas below the attic and prevents heat loss through the ceiling.
