Benefits of Spray Foam
Spray Polyurethane Foam, or SPF acts as a single-material solution for thermal, air, vapor and water (only closed cell) transmission through the home’s building envelope, or enclosure. Think of the enclosure of the home as what a set of clothing is for the human body on a windy, damp winter day. A sweater (fibrous insulation) provides insulation (R-value) to retain body heat – but it does not
stop wind (air movement) or control moisture. You would be very uncomfortable with just a sweater; you would be more comfortable adding a thin waterproof windbreaker (air barrier and vapor retarder). SPF insulation is the only insulation inside stud walls that can provide R-value, air barrier and vapor barrier in a single product.
As a thermal insulator, SPF is one of the highest performing insulations available. Spray applied by professional installers, the material forms in-place. It fully adheres and initially expands to eliminate cracks and gaps that leak air or water vapor. It may
also be applied in a continuous layer, eliminating most thermal bridges caused by framing. These thermal and air-sealing qualities of spray foam are what directly result in lower home energy bills. Closed-cell SPF, a denser and more rigid version of the material, also provides structural enhancement and can qualify as both a water vapor retarder, a water-resistant insulation and secondary water barrier. It may be applied on the interior of walls, as well as along exterior walls as continuous insulation – above or below grade.

Open cell spray foam, or OC is a low density foam that is typically ~0.5lb/ft³. OC is an air barrier at 3.75" or greater and has an R-Value of 3.8 per inch. Open cell is a terrific insulator and offers tremendous soundproofing properties.
Closed cell spray foam, or CC is a medium density foam that is typically 2.0lb/ft³. CC is an air barrier at 1" or greater and has an R-Value of 7.0 per inch. Closed cell also includes the added benefits of providing a vapor/water barrier and increasing the building's structural strength.
Specialty foams are also closed cell. However, these high density foams are typically 3.0lb/ft³ or greater and used in exterior applications such as roofing, concrete lifting, and marine projects.

Myth #1: SPF is flammable
False...Cured SPF and the chemicals used to make SPF, are not flammable. They are considered ‘combustible’, which like many common building materials, including wood, means it requires a higher than normal temperature to ignite. And in some cases spray foam can improve fire safety by blocking flame spread inside frame walls.
Myth #2: SPF emits toxic chemicals
False...Following proper installation and curing, SPF does not off gas toxic chemicals. The SPF can help prevent unwanted infiltration of pollutants, allergens and moisture. Combined with proper mechanical ventilation, SPF can improve indoor air quality, Installers wear protective equipment mainly because of short-term chemical hazards during and within a few hours after application.
Myth #3: SPF attracts pests
False...SPF is not a food source for wood-destroying organisms like termites. SPF seals cracks and gaps in the home, reducing paths for entry of insects and other pests. SPF also controls infiltration of unwanted moisture, which termites need to thrive. When properly applied, SPF can be installed to allow for regular visual termite inspections by pest management professionals, providing no greater risk to termite damage than any other cavity insulation.
FACT: SPF doesn't allow buildings to breathe
Which is a good thing. SPF prevents the infiltration of unwanted moisture and exfiltration of conditioned air which, in turn, can reduce condensation that causes mold, mildew, poor indoor air quality, rot or corrosion of the home. A properly designed spray foam home will also include controlled ventilation to bring in small amounts of outside air to displace odors from normal homeowner activity while minimizing energy loss.
