Open Cell on exterior walls
Open Cell Spray Foam
Completely non-toxic when dried, it's mainly applied in interior spaces, and covered. It blocks everything from the outside, like air and moisture, and also fills all crevices, cracks and holes, leaving no room for the growth of mold or mildew in your walls. Significant noise reduction is good for sound proofing. Has small spaces in between cells, like a sponge, making it more pliable to fill all those tiny, hard to reach gaps between pipes, wiring, ductwork and other areas inside your homes, walls, and attics. Offers an R-value of R3.5 per sq. inch. Has a bubblier finish compared to closed cell, normally hidden behind sheetrock or in an attic.
Closed cell inside a shop
Closed Cell Spray Foam
The strongest of the two spray foams, it offers the highest structural integrity by being more rigid and less impermeable by moisture and air. Closed cell is the vapor barrier, unharmed by water, and completely weather resistant. Most suitable for outdoors because it's cells are tightly packed making it less absorbent of moisture, and does not sag over time. Offers an R-value of R6-R7 per sq inch. Great for places experiencing extreme climate conditions. Has a smoother finish compared to open cell, can be left exposed and also painted.
Blown-in fiberglass into a wall
blown fiberglass wool
"Blown-in" is the method of which this fiberglass insulation is installed. It is done with a special blowing device that inserts the insulation either into your attic, or into your walls which is first fenced off with a fabric screen to be able hold it in place.
Batt insulation inside a home
Batt insulation
Either faced or unfaced, batt insulation is also made of fiberglass or wool (also called Rock Wool) but comes in pre-cut panels. Batt is one of the most common used forms of insulation.
Cellulose insulation inside an attic
cellulose
There are two types of applications for cellulose that we offer; loose-fill blow in and also spray on cellulose. Loose-fill insulation is made up of about 85% recycled paper fibers, normally waste newsprint. The rest is made up of a fire retardant such as boric acid or ammonium sulfate, and has consistency similar to down feathers. It is blown into the open attic or an enclosed wall.
The spray form of this has moisture added to it, to make it stick to surfaces and it can be applied directly to an open wall. The small amount of moisture dries within 24-48 hours, and the wall will then be ready for sheetrock.
