What is Spray Foam Insulation?

Otto Bayer created polyurethane in 1937. This substance is now utilized as spray foam insulation in Clarksville, TN for residential and commercial insulation. Since its invention, this chemical has been employed for a variety of reasons, ranging from industrial applications to airplanes to cushioning and shoe soles. It has recently been employed as thermal insulation.
​
Spray foam insulation, often known as spray insulation, is composed of two fundamental chemicals, polyol resins and isocyanates, known in the industry as 'A' and 'B.'  When these two chemicals combine, they generate spray foam insulation and expand in volume up to 30 to 60 times, and fill every crack and gap that they are sprayed into.

What is R-Value?

You may have come across the term R-value when researching spray foam insulation in Clarksville, TN. The word "R-value" refers to how well an insulating material resists heat. The greater a material's R-value, the better its insulating properties. The R-values of various insulating materials vary.
​
For instance, spray foam insulation has an R-value ranging from R-3.7 to R-6.5 per inch, depending on whether it is open cell or closed cell. Cellulose insulation has an R-value of 3.5 per inch whereas mineral wool has an R-value ranging from R-3.7 to 4.2 per inch. Fiberglass has an R-value ranging from 2.2 to 3.8 per inch, depending on whether it is fiberglass batts or blown-in insulation.

Types of Spray Foam Insulation

​When spray foam insulation in Clarksville, TN is used to insulate your house or commercial space, you may choose to insulate certain sections with open cell and others with closed cell. Let's look at some of the distinctions between the two to see which one is appropriate for usage in your home or business project.
Open-cell Spray Foam Insulation Clarksville, TN

Open Cell Spray Foam

Because open cell spray foam insulation has a significantly lower density, it is soft and flexible. All of the spray foam cells in open cell spray foam are not entirely encapsulated and are intentionally left exposed.
​
When sprayed open cell spray foam expands to around 3 inches in diameter. It is less expensive than closed cell spray foam and may be used as soundproofing insulation due to its superior sound-absorbing properties.
Closed-cell Spray Foam Insulation Clarksville, TN

Closed cell spray foam

The cells of closed cell spray foam are entirely enclosed, and no air, water, or moisture may enter. It is harder and stiffer than open cell spray foam and has a greater density. It will only extend up to a thickness of 1 inch after being sprayed. Closed cell spray foam does not absorb sound like open cell spray foam.

Closed cell spray foam insulation is recommended for usage in confined locations that require a high level of insulation. The R-value goes up to R-6.5 to R-7.
