Closed cell insulation is more expensive than the open cell insulation. Spray foam insulation is most preferred now to the fiber glass insulation.
Below are a few of the advantages of spray foam insulation:
- Reduced energy bills:
In organizations that are set out to cut costs, optimize resources using spray foam insulation solves the problem of high energy bills. The office being insulated regulates the internal temperature outside reducing the use of the air conditioners.
Spray foam insulation fights heat loss and the infiltration of air. The air quality is improved.
- Air-tight seal:
Spray foam insulation seals holes and cracks thoroughly, because it is sprayed you are rest assured that every corner is insulated. Unlike the fiber glass that may not fit in properly may not cover the edges and joints.
