\"ExtremeMany homeowners may be put off by the cost of spray foam insulation in their homes but the benefits make every penny you pay for it worth it. The fact is, this kind of insulation will outperform any other option out there.<\/p>\n

What Is Spray Foam Insulation?<\/h2>\n

This type of insulation is made of 2 kinds of composite material, specifically isocyanate and polyurethane<\/a>. They react chemically when combined with each other. When the insulation is being installed, they are both sprayed simultaneously from a spray foam gun. This allows them to first expand and form a hard, protective layer over the wall or area to be insulated.<\/p>\n

There are 2 types of spray foam insulation<\/a>, open-cell, and closed-cell. The former is denser and is a bit like a sponge when you touch it. It makes for good sound-dampening insulation, plus it tends to be cheaper than the closed-cell insulation<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

The latter, on the other hand, is pricier but without a doubt better than open-cell.<\/p>\n
