Open Cell Vs Closed Cell Foam Insulation

Are you exploring spray foam insulation options for your home? Are you confused about the differences between open cell and closed cell foam insulation’s? Many people don’t truly know the differences and they are drastically different when it comes to certain properties.

Closed cell foam insulation has a very strong structure that prevents the movement of air and moisture. This makes closed cell foam insulation great in applications that require air sealing and vapor barrier properties.

Open cell foam insulation is very light and about half the cost of closed cell insulation. However, it doesn’t have nearly the same strength and it doesn’t have the ability to air seal and prevent moisture movement.
