Spray Foam Insulation


Spray foam insulation in Lakewood, CA is becoming increasingly popular nowadays, as people are realizing its superior nature to previous forms of insulation. It is applied using a spray application process, hence the name. It is composed of isocyanate and polyol resin, combined in the spray gun and applied into the building as a liquid. Once it gets sprayed, the chemical reaction occurs causing it to expand then solidify into a foam that adheres to the surface. So this part can get a little complex, which is why you can count on us to get the job done for you safely and efficiently.


The mixing of the components as well as the correct application of the spray is crucial to getting the lasting results you desire. This technique is so popular now because it provides such excellent insulation due to its high insulating properties. The spray foam insulation also expands when it is sprayed, which allows it to fill every crack and crevice, creating an airtight seal. This really ensures the best insulation as no air can move through it. 


Open-cell spray foam is one option to go with, which has a sponge-like structure to it with connected air pockets. This foam is flexible and soft, and is pretty low in density. This is best used for acoustic insulation, as it provides a great sound barrier. It does have some thermal insulation as well, but not as much as closed-cell spray foam. Closed-cell spray foam is denser with closed and compact cells. The foam is much more rigid and hard than open-cell, which provides even higher insulation values. It also is a great barrier to any air and moisture, so it is so dense and compact. Closed-cell foam is used most in exterior areas, such as walls, roofs, and basements, where higher levels of insulation are needed as well as moisture resistance. Open-cell spray foam is more for interior applications, such as inside your house in walls, ceilings, or attic floors.

Spray foam insulation is undoubtedly the highest form of insulation available today. It has such high insulating properties so it provides the best option when it comes to creating a strong barrier against heat transfer. So it provides you that comfort you are looking for inside your space by reducing any heat gain or loss. The spray foam also provides the airtight seal that is missing in most other forms of insulation. This prevents any and all air leakage, so no drafts will occur and thus the temperature will remain pretty much unchanged at all times.


The two forms of spray foam just mentioned above also provide sound reduction and moisture resistance, depending on which option you go with. We can apply mixtures of both throughout the building, so provide the sound reduction where that is needed most, as well as the moisture and thermal insulation in the outer areas. The installation and components of all of this may be a little complex, so that is why we are here to assist you. We have all the specialized equipment that is required for the job, so just let us know how we can help and we will be there to assist you immediately. ​
