Spray foam insulation is one of the most popular insulation types available. It is a water-blown expanding insulation which has excellent thermal efficiency and seals up gaps and cracks in your structure. This means that air isn’t leaking out of your home and allergens aren’t finding a way in. All insulation helps block noice from outside yet spray foam does not shrink, settle or sag over time. Spray foam sticks to the walls, attic roofs, floors or ceilings it is sprayed on. Barrier insulation is proud to offer spray foam insulation to the residents of Arizona.

Spray Foam Formula
Spray foam insulation is a mixture of water and chemicals that are combined just as they are pressure sprayed onto the surfaces needing to be insulated. Once the chemicals combined they expand to about 100 times their original volume in a matter of seconds. This expansion fills up every gap and crack to seal up air leaks. Spray foam insulation comes in 2 types, open and closed cell. The R-Values for open cell is about 3.5 per inch, and closed offers about double that at R-7. This means that not only does it provide excellent thermal insulating performance but also seals up the natural gaps that occur as homes settle and age.

Open Cell Spray Foam – This insulation option is a popular choice for Mesa residents as it has a lower cost yet still helps seal up gaps and cracks. It is called open cell as the internal structure of the foam has open cells or bubbles. The air that is trapped during the expansion and curing process is left and the air pockets naturally form and leave tiny bubbles. Open cell spray foam is water permeable which is a good option for some applications where water needs to a be allowed to pass through the insulation. The R-value of open cell spray foam is about 3.5 per inch.
Closed Cell Spray Foam – The bubbles or cells in closed cell spray foam are much closer together and are densely packed. Greater density equals increased thermal performance and higher R-values. Closed cell spray foam has about double the R-value with an impressive R-7 per inch. That makes closed cell spray foam ideal for insulation projects that don’t have a lot of depth, such as inside exterior walls. In addition to insulating and sealing up gaps spray foam can also help increase the structural integrity of the home.
Financial Advantages of Spray Foam Insulation
Owning a home or business comes with the responsibility of maintaining the building or home. As properties settle there are naturally gaps, cracks, and holes which develop, many are hard to see. This means that these problems allow air to leak into or out of your home. Letting your conditioned air leak out of your home means you spend more running your AC or heater. The Department of Energy states that their research found that the average American home loses approximately 30% of the conditioned air through these air leaks.
High R-values of insulation are clearly not the only concern in keeping indoor spaces comfortable and energy efficient. When your cooled or heated air is flowing out of these air leaks and right past your insulation you are losing money. Installing spray foam insulation will seal up these gaps and crack leaving your building envelope sealed up tight. While products like batt insulation or rigid foam board can be cut to fit spaces they do not expand into the cracks and cannot seal up these air leaks. Spray foam expands quickly and seals up all of the gaps to stop air leaks.

Polyurethane foam insulation is available in two common variants which feature great R-values and air leak sealing abilities. This combination of benefits makes it one of the most popular types of insulation in Arizona, over fiberglass or cellulose. Spray foam is great for new build or during remodeling projects, attics, or any open wall, ceiling, or floor. It is the preferred choice for builders as it goes up quickly, seals the building envelope, and has great longevity. Spray foam is preferred because it is excellent at preventing heat exchange and stops air leaks.
