Although open cell spray foams are able to expand to over one hundred and twenty times of their original liquid state, while closed cell foams sprays expanded only twenty to thirty times of their original state, the open cell foam presented bubbles that filled with air, while the closed spray foam cured firm and the microscopic bubbles that did form remain unbroken and closed. Through the study of the benefits as insulators of open cells vs. closed cell spray, varying advantages and disadvantages were noted. The strongest factor in determining the use of open cell spray foam vs. closed cell foam spray is the fact that open cell foam is not approved vapor barrier, while closed spray foam is code approved vapor barrier, and, as such, Enviro Foam Insulation makes use of closed cell spray as their spray foam insulation, ensuring that buildings and homes enjoy maximum installation, and a reduction in noise, draft, rot, mold, as well as greatly reduced heating and utility bills.

In the focus of open cells vs. closed cell foam as a successful insulator, it was discovered that open cell spray acts in the same manner as fiberglass insulation in that it traps unwanted air; however, open cell foam spray does have the ability to seep into wall cavities, and, thus, provides slightly better insulation that traditional fiberglass insulation. It is, however, closed cell foam that provides the very best in insulation, in that it is able to provide an air-tight seal to prevent air leakage and create a perfect barrier to keep warm air circulating within the building, and cold air remains out.

In facing the world’s energy crisis, it make sense to begin properly and effectively insulating building with high quality materials and products, such as Enviro Foam, which is a closed cell foam spray that forms a protective, insulation barrier around buildings.
