It’s used to insulate attics, crawl spaces and rim joists in older buildings or pole barns as well as walls, floors and ceilings in new construction.
It’s an eco-friendly option, too. Unlike fiberglass, it’s non-toxic and contains no fiberglass fragments that could be ingested by children or pets. It’s also mold-resistant and fire-retardant, and it doesn’t use phenols or formaldehyde, which have been linked to certain health issues. It does contain a blowing agent, however, and the type you choose can make a difference. Open cell and closed cell spray foam both start with the same raw materials (isocyanate and polyol resin) but differ in density and product yield. Think of how much whipped cream you can make based on how much you whip it; the higher the density, the more finished foam you’ll get for the same amount of liquid ingredients.
