Closed-cell 2lb spray foam offers numerous contractor benefits:
Range of applications - Can be used in wood and metal-framed buildings. Use anywhere from walls, floors, ceilings, under roof decks, attic floors, crawl spaces, to basements, foundations, and more.
High-energy efficiency - With unequaled air sealing and R-values of greater than 6.4 per inch, spray foam uniquely provides heating and cooling savings throughout its lifetime. Drafts and air infiltration are eliminated, making the residential client a more comfortable living environment and the commercial client more secure.
Improved indoor air quality - Virtually eliminates uncontrolled and unwanted air infiltration. As a result, a more clean and comfortable interior environment is created by the dramatic reduction of dust, pollen and other allergens.
Superior condensation and moisture control - Closed-cell spray foam offers unparalleled performance in moisture transmission and condensation due to its ultra low water vapor permeance. When applied at a 2" thickness, establishing a vapor retarder with a 1 perm rating.
Quiet Building - Spray foam reduces the noise transfer and sound penetration from both inside and outside the building envelope due to its Sound Transmission Class (STC) rating of 37.
Downsizing of HVAC equipment - Sealing the building envelope allows the use of smaller HVAC equipment. Air-handling units, ducting and HVAC-systems operate more efficiently in the semi-conditioned sprayed foam environment.
Ease of construction - Spray foam eliminates tedious multiple installation steps for air barriers, detailing and vapor retarders. Ease of spray foam installation reduces construction time, allowing greater maneuverability.
Structural strength - 2x4 stud walls with closed-cell spray foam support up to three times the racking loads of other insulation materials. Further, resistance to wind uplift increases up to three times when closed-cell spray foam is applied under the roof deck.
