Your home’s insulation is designed to keep heat in during the winter and out during the summer. Choosing the right insulation for your home is crucial to your overall comfort throughout the year.
There are several different types of insulation, each with its own advantages and ratings. Here are the benefits and costs of using spray foam insulation in your home.
Where Can You Install Spray Foam?
Expanding spray foam insulation 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.
Differences Between Open-Cell & Closed-Cell Spray Foam
With spray foam insulation, you can choose open-cell or closed-cell, which refers to the difference in the cells or bubbles the foam is made of. Open-cell is softer and more flexible, while closed-cell is more rigid, stable and dense.
How Much Will Spray Foam Cost for Your Project?
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.
