The closed-cell spray foam insulation used by A-1 Advanced, is a 2.0lb. medium density polyurethane foam insulation. Closed cell insulation foam can be installed in residential and commercial structures, providing a superior thermal, air and vapor barrier.
Closed cell insulation foam delivers greater R-value per inch over open cell. It also, significantly hinders the air infiltration into and out of the structure. Most energy costs occur from the interior air leaking out of the structure and exterior air leaking in. Insulation foam is spray applied onto the substrate as a liquid, it then reacts and expands to create foam. During the reaction and expansion process the foam fills the air gaps that traditional insulation products cannot. This creates a thermal envelope and air barrier around the structure being insulated. Closed cell foam insulation is used in new construction, remodels and upgrades. It is commonly applied in:
Closed cell insulation foam is much more durable (due to its density), when compared to open cell insulation foam. When closed cell foam insulation is properly installed, it will quickly expand into any air infiltration areas, such as, penetrations, cracks, crevices and gaps. Open cell will conform to irregular curves, spaces and surfaces; providing a superior thermal barrier around the entire structure. As the foam controls air infiltration, you will experience a consistent comfort in your building- no more hot and cold zones. Less air infiltration means that pollutants, dust, allergens, etc. will not be able to enter the structure. Once installed, the foam will not sag or settle over the lifetime of the building. Also, the foam will not support the growth of mold or mildew. Finally, you will increase the structural integrity with the closed-cell foam.
