Where Can You Install Spray Foam?
Expanding spray foam can be installed easily in small cracks, crevices and hard-to-reach areas around wires, outlets and ductwork. This makes it an ideal alternative to fiberglass insulation for new construction and existing homes.
Spray foam is also one of the most effective types of insulation for reducing air filtration. It’s most commonly used in attics, ceilings, walls and crawl spaces.
Open-Cell vs. Closed-Cell Spray Foam
With spray insulation, you can choose open-cell or closed-cell, which refers to the difference in the cells or bubbles that the foam is made of. Open-cell is softer and more flexible, while closed-cell is more rigid, stable and dense.
The Cost of Spray Foam
Although spray foam typically requires a larger investment upfront than other insulation types, its true cost depends on several factors:
- Type of spray foam insulation
- Size of home or building to be insulated
- Specific attributes of the area to be insulated
- Open-cell vs. closed-cell insulation
Generally, spray foam is priced per board foot:
- Open-cell spray foam is $0.35 to $0.55 per board foot.
- Closed-cell spray foam is $1 to $1.50 per board foot.
Benefits of Spray Foam Insulation
Although spray foam has higher upfront costs, its long-term benefits can save you more money over time, especially in energy costs:
- Superior noise control
- Better ventilation in insulated areas
- Better R-value than other insulation types
- Increased property value
