Closed Cell Spray Foam vs. Open Cell Spray Foam

The decision on whether to use open cell foam or closed cell foam becomes easier once all information is gathered on each. Some questions you may ask are, what's the difference or when should you use a specific type.

Closed Cell Spray Foam:

Depending on the location of your spray foam insulation and your budget, you may be inclined to opt for one type of spray foam versus another. Because the closed-cell foam type is more resistant to air and water vapor, this may be the wiser choice when insulating a basement or attic space.
