For insulating your home, you have a variety of options to choose from. A popular choice is spray foam insulation, and you can get closed cell or open cell insulation in Lehi. If you have never heard of spray foam insulation, this is your chance to learn about a new trend that might possibly be just what you need for your home, business, or remodel.
Closed cell and open cell insulation in Lehi are the two types of spray foam insulation available. What is the difference? First it helps to understand how spray foam insulation works. With spray foam insulation, you are blowing a special kind of material that goes into the cavity in a manner similar to bubble bath—with big, open, airy cells. Closed cell insulation uses a combination of water and another agent to blow the material in, and the use of the other agent—245fa—makes the “bubbles” or cells form walls at a higher density than for open cell insulation.
Open cell insulation in Lehi doesn’t use the other agent: open cell insulation uses water only to blow the material into the cavity. Because it doesn’t use the 245fa, open cell insulation has fewer walls around the cells, making it less dense than the closed cell insulation. Both varieties become a plastic once the spray foam has dried.
On a practical level, this difference between closed cell and open cell insulation in Lehi means that open cell insulation is less expensive than closed cell insulation: water is far cheaper than any manufactured material. The lower density can be counteracted by having a professional who knows what to do be the one to install the insulation; even a lower-density material will suffice if you know how to install it.
