• Spray foam insulation is a popular choice in insulation.
• Applied as a liquid, spray foam insulation expands to 100 times its volume in seconds to fill every crack and crevice.
• Spray foam insulation remains flexible after installation the integrity of the building envelope seal remains intact over time.
• Spray foam insulation acts as a complete insulation and air barrier to minimize air leakage and seal the building envelope for optimal airtightness.
• Spray foam insulation can be used as wall insulation and can be applied as attic insulation

Open-Cell Insulation

Open-cell foam is soft. The walls (or cells) of the bubbles are broken, and air fills these spaces. This makes the foam soft and pliable, similar to a rubber ball. The R-value of the insulation is related to the value of the air inside these broken bubbles. Open cell insulation density is up to one pound per cubic foot.

Woodman Insulation installs open-cell foam from Icynene

Icynene LD-R-50™

ICYNENE LD-R-50 is Icynene’s next generation of high-performance insulation.  ICYNENE LD-R-50 is a renewable-based foam insulation and air barrier material that is responsibly made using castor oil and offers numerous environmental benefits. 

 

Icynene LD-C-50™ Spray Formula

Icynene's LD-C-50 spray formula has an R-value of 3.7 per inch. It acts as a complete insulation and air barrier to minimize air leakage and seal the building envelope for optimal airtightness.

Closed-Cell Insulation

Closed-cell foam is solid, as the cells of the bubbles remain intact, which makes the product rigid. The cells are filled with a gas that makes the R-value higher than that of open-cell foam. Closed-cell foam has varying degrees of hardness, depending its density, but is typically 1.5 pounds to 4 pounds per cubic foot.

Woodman Insulation installs closed-cell foam from Icynene , JM Corbond III and Dow STYROFOAM™:

Icynene MD-R-200™

ICYNENE MD-R-200 is a 100% water-blown, medium density spray foam insulation and air barrier material.  Its performance advantages such as high insulation R-value, low vapor permeance and its ability to deliver additional load capacity in a structure result in long-term building protection.

 

JM Corbond III®

JM Corbond insulation has the highest performance R-Factor achievable for an insulation product on today's market. This foam insulation product isolates the indoor and outdoor climates, limiting air movement and controlling moisture condensation and movement within walls and roof cavities helping to eliminate mold growth.

 

Dow STYROFOAM™

Dow STYROFOAM™ Brand Spray Foam Insulation RS is a two-component spray-applied foam insulation that creates a seamless barrier for protection against water and air infiltration.
Offered in three formulas, it can be used for both new and retrofit applications, STYROFOAM™ Brand Spray Foam Insulation expands during installation to fill cavities, cracks and crevices, sealing against uncontrolled air leakage and helping maintain consistent, comfortable indoor temperatures. The closed-cell, 2 pcf foam serves as both an insulation and air sealant for a wide range of applications throughout the building envelope.

 

NCFI's InsulStar® 

NCFI's InsulStar® high-performance insulation is a 2.0lb/cu. ft. density, closed-cell spray foam. InsulStar's R-value is above R 6.4 per inch and will stop air infiltration.

InsulStar is formulated with renewable agricultural resources and uses a state-of-the-art, environmentally friendly blowing agent with zero Ozone Depletion Potential. It's because of products like InsulStar that NCFI was awarded the international 2004 Stratospheric Ozone Protection Award from the EPA for the company’s commitment to developing environmentally friendly SPF insulation systems.

InsulStar’s low moisture vapor permeance works to control moisture vapor movement so there's not accumulation of mold-supporting moisture in walls. InsulStar is blended with an anti-microbial to inhibit mold, mildew, and bacterial growth as well, maximizing comfort and health to all building occupants.

 

Spray foam insulation is not only for new homes. Spray foam insulation can be used in existing homes as well – both as attic insulation and as wall insulation – with CFI InsulSmart.

CFI InsulSmart

CFI InsulSmart is an injectible foam insulation that expands fully before entering the wall cavity and hardens in place as it dries. InsulSmart can be installed from the interior or exterior of the home, and can be installed behind existing brick or block walls, including behind exterior walls of brick homes. It can also be installed in crawl spaces or in basement block walls.
