Open Cell Foam vs. Closed Cell Spray Foam. What's the difference between open & closed cell foam?

Visit https://www.foamitgreen.com for more. What is the difference between open and closed cell foam? Closed cell foam, at about two pounds per cubic foot, is more dense than open cell foam which is typically about one half pound per cubic foot. This higher density makes closed cell foam ideal for applications in which moisture will be a concern. It also has a much higher R value per inch at approximately seven, compared to open cell’s at about four. Tightly packed closed cells create a vapor retarder to stop moisture penetration which is important in projects like insulating walls, crawlspaces, and basements. The vast majority of vapor transmission occurs through air flow, and not diffusion, which simply means “physically moving through a solid”. The less dense, more sponge-like nature of open cell foam is a better choice for projects that are temperature controlled on both sides like sound-deadening between floors. Have a project to discuss?
