    Spray Foam Insulation
    Posted by Pierre Moses | 5 replies |  Last reply about 4 years and 10 months ago by Jerry Henrich

    Are there different types of spray foam insulation?  I’ve heard about closed cell and open cell but I’m not sure of the difference.  Thanks

    MIR use closed cell spray foam in the most part. Open cell is generally used in situations where there is a need for the material to which the spray foam is attached to breath.

      The more airtight the envelope of the building is the more energy efficient it is.  Doors, windows, M&E penetrations are generally responsible for excessive air leakage.

    Has anyone come across the new type of spray insulation that is a combination glass bead material and spray adhesive that was applied to exterior of air conditioning ducts and required only 1/8″ thickness? It is also used for exterior wall insulation again with minimal thickness. Product was a result of NASA research
