Home Insulation
Experienced Insulation Contractors
Regardless if it is a residential building or commercial building, the benefits of spray foam insulation are the same in both spaces. The difference is deciding what type of spray foam is best for the specific type of building. That’s where the insulation contractors at Eagle Insulation come in. The insulation contractors at Eagle Insulation are highly experienced in the proper application of residential spray foam insulation for your traditional stick built home, modular home, or even a cabin. Here are some of the differences in the types of spray foam we use.
SPRAY FOAM TYPES – OPEN CELL vs CLOSED CELL
Open Cell Spray Foam |
Using Both Open Cell & Closed Cell Spray Foam |
Closed Cell Spray Foam |
Economical | Add to the sturdiness of the house because it is essentially filling any and all cracks | Denser |
Blocks out more noise by itself unless mixed with a closed cell foam | Prevents moisture from getting through the walls, therefore it acts as a barrier against large quantities of water, ultimately protecting the inhabitants from growth of mold and mildew | Keeps more water and air out |
Reduces high frequency noise | Reduces low frequency noise |
Which Spray Foam To Use On A Home
For example, common spots for air or water leaks in a residential building wouldn’t necessarily be the same in a commercial building. In a residential building, it might be smarter to go with open cell spray foam because it allows for moisture to pass through, allowing the homeowners to acknowledge if there is a roof leak. Once the leak is addressed, and the spray foam is dry, it will continue to provide adequate thermal protection.
Spray foam is applied by insulation contractors to the common areas of residential homes like behind knee walls, attic hatches, wiring holes, plumbing vents, open soffits, recessed lights, furnace or duct chase ways, basement rim joists, windows and doors, as a few examples. This is why you should consult the insulation contractors at Eagle Insulation before starting an insulation job. Our insulation contractors are experts on what type spray foam insulation is best for your situation as well as know all of the areas of your home that spray foam insulation is needed.
