There are some very important factors thatinfluence the overall cost of your spray foaminsulation project and they are as follows:

Of the two types of foam insulation used bycontractors, open cell is less expensive per inch,but takes more thickness to get the insulating valueneeded. Open cell is air impermeable after 3inches thick. It is very useful in areas such as atticswhere it does not need to be trimmed back like in awall.

Closed cell is more expensive per inch, but doesn’trequire as much thickness. It has structuralproperties, and will actually “glue” a buildingtogether. Closed cell is impermeable at 1 inchthick, and waterproof at 2 inches.
