Did you know that Closed Cell Spray Foam adds huge structural value to your building. The strong rigid foam increases the “shear strength” of a 2×4 walls cavity by 300%. In some areas, closed cell foam has been used in roof applications to mitigate the risk of the roof lifting during a tornado. With the added structural value, air tight seal, increased rvalue per inch and mold resistance, closed cell spray foam becomes the intelligent choice for your building. With the new NECB Energy code in Calgary, spray foam insulation is able to help meet and exceed new standards.
Open Cell Spray Foam is often used in tight or difficult to reach areas because of its high expanding properties. At 100X its liquid form, open cell spray foam expands to fill tight Rim Joists and other challenging areas. Open Cell Spray Foam is roughly half the R-value of closed cell foams and does not perform as a vapor barrier.
