CLOSED CELL SPRAY FOAM
Closed Cell SPF reduces energy use in buildings
beyond its stated R-value because SPF:

• Provides a continuous barrier
• Prevents moisture infiltration through air leakage
• Minimizes dew point problems and condensation
• Avoids thermal bridging
• Resists heat movement in all directions
• Provides reliable performance under varying conditions
• Helps reduce exterior noise
• Creates a barrier against gas and odor
• Retards insects and rodent penetration
• Adds structural integrity to the house

WHY SPRAY POLYURETHANE FOAM IS YOUR IDEAL INSULATION SOLUTION
FEATURES BENEFITS
HIGH
INSULATION
VALUE
•


•		 Allows you to fit more insulation into less space
(2" x 4"'s instead of 2" x 6"s) - saving you money
in reduced lumber cost..
Performs in hot as well as cold temperatures
which is why your home refrigerator, freezer and
hot water heater use this type of insulation.
STOPS AIR
INFILTRATION
•
•

•		 Minimizes airflow.
Helps eliminate drafts and provides for comfortable, even heat.
Provides improved humidity control.
MOISTURE
RESISTANT
•
 Inhibits moisture driven elements due to its
closed cell structure.
SPRAY
APPLIED
•
•
•
•		 Seals cracks and crevices.
Insulates hard to reach areas.
Provides quick, easy application by professionals.
Provides a seamless layer of insulation.
RIGID
•
•
•

•		 Will not settle.
Adds structural strength.
Closed cell structure stops air leakage and
inhibits air infiltration.
Inhibits insect penetration.
LIGHTWEIGHT
•
•
•
•		 Does not sag.
Delivers a high degree of strength-to-weight ratio.
Adds little weight to ceiling or roof areas.
Reduces transportation costs compared to
bulkier insulation products.
EXCELLENT
ADHESION
•
 Adheres to the surface that is sprayed on and
does not need fasteners to hold it in place.
SAFE
•
•		 Contains no urea formaldehyde.
Building code listed.
THE R-VALUE MYTH
 "R" refers to resistance to heat flow. These measurements are taken in a laboratory environment. Heat flow resistance is only part of the formula for effective insulation. R-value does not measure the amount of air infiltration or moisture that penetrates through an insulated wall. In short, the measurement does not factor in real-world weather conditions. The only way to eliminate air infiltration and moisture is to completely seal the building tight and use mechanical ventilation equipment to regulate moisture and balance indoor air pressures.
