Closed Cell Insulation

Trust Standard as Your Closed Cell Spray Foam Installer in Mohawk Valley & Capital Region

When you’re insulating a new home or adding insulation during a home renovation, closed cell spray foam insulation can help increase your home’s energy efficiency and save money over time. Known as one of the most powerful insulation options on the market today, closed cell spray foam defends against temperature extremes as well as sound.

Additionally, the tight, water-resistant seal created by this type of insulation has been recognized by Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) as an approved option in flood-prone areas. In the Central NY area, Standard offers experience and a respected reputation as a premium closed cell spray foam installer.

How Closed Cell Spray Foam Service Protects Your Home

Spray foam insulation involves a unique application process carried out by a certified technician who uses a specialized machine and spray gun to mix two chemical components together to create a liquid compound.

For closed cell insulation, that liquid adheres to a surface and expands up to 33 times its original size, creating a dense foam insulation layer that takes up minimal space compared to other insulation options.

In fact, closed cell spray foam only requires up to 3.25 inches of sidewall space or 4.5 inches of ceiling space to apply. The incredible density creates a built-in air barrier with an R-Value of 6.7-per-inch, which is among the highest R-Values on the market.

This density and high R-Value directly contribute to closed cell insulation’s flood-resistant properties, as the tightly packed closed cells do not allow water or vapor to pass through.
