With temperatures below freezing, winters in NYC are harsh. Stay warm this winter with spray foam insulation. Spray foam insulation helps to provide comfort and improve efficiency. This type of insulation expands, so it fills in corners in the home to provide ultimate protection.
It’s easy to feel overwhelmed when looking into spray foam insulation for the first time. Below we’ll go over the two most common so you can determine which works best for your needs.
Closed-cell foam – This foam provides a higher R-value per inch, but it’s more expensive than its counterpart. Closed-cell foam provides a sticky quality and rigidity that results in added structural integrity to walls and ceilings.
Open-cell foam – This foam is about 30% cheaper than closed-cell, but it also provides a lower R-value per inch. Because of its lower R-value, the foam is applied in a thicker layer. The thickness is exceptional for areas with more space, such as ceilings and attics.
One of the many benefits of spray foam insulation is that it saves homeowners on energy. You receive a more consistent air seal with filled gaps. The U.S. Department of Energy reports that homeowners with spray foam insulation save up to fifteen percent on cooling and heating costs.
