Spray Foam Insulation

Spray foam insulation is one of the most effective ways to improve your home's energy efficiency, comfort, and air quality. Unlike traditional insulation materials, spray foam expands when applied, filling gaps and sealing cracks to create a powerful air barrier.

At Iron Hive Insulation, we install both open-cell and closed-cell spray foam, depending on the needs of your home or building.

Open-Cell vs Closed-Cell Spray Foam

Open-Cell Spray Foam

Open-cell spray foam is a lighter, flexible insulation that expands rapidly to fill wall cavities and hard-to-reach areas. It provides excellent air sealing and sound reduction.

Benefits include:

  • Strong air sealing
  • Sound dampening
  • Cost-effective insulation
  • Great for attics and interior walls

Closed-Cell Spray Foam

Closed-cell spray foam is denser and more rigid, providing a higher insulation value per inch. It also acts as a moisture barrier and adds structural strength.

Benefits include:

  • Higher R-value insulation
  • Moisture resistance
  • Increased structural strength
  • Ideal for crawl spaces, exterior walls, and commercial applications

Where Spray Foam Insulation Is Used

Spray foam can be installed in many areas of a home or building, including:

Attics
Walls
Crawl spaces
Basements
Rim joists
New construction framing
Metal buildings and commercial spaces

Benefits of Spray Foam Insulation

Lower energy bills
Improved indoor comfort
Air sealing that reduces drafts
Helps prevent moisture and mold
Long-lasting performance
Reduces outside noise

Because spray foam seals small cracks and gaps that other insulation cannot reach, it helps create a more efficient and controlled indoor environment.
