Spray foam insulation: your answer to design freedom
Discover superior performance, design flexibility and exceptional value with spray foam insulation. For architects who want to design creatively without compromising structural integrity or the environment, it’s the ideal air sealing insulation solution.
Perfect for high-performance commercial buildings, spray foam is one of the most complete insulation and sealing systems. It can be used for both new construction and commercial renovation. Delivering industry-leading energy efficiency across commercial, industrial, and residential projects, it’s become a preferred alternative to traditional insulation products such as fiberglass, mineral wool, and rigid foam board.

Reduce heating and cooling costs significantly by specifying spray foam
Why should architects specify spray foam in their designs?
Spray foam is lightweight, durable, and can be applied in a variety of ways. This versatility lends itself well to innovative designs. Plus, it’s better for the environment. It outperforms traditional insulation and maximizes energy efficiency by acting as air barrier and vapor barrier in addition to insulation.
What it’s like to work with spray foam
Spray foam is superior to traditional insulation. It contains no CFCs, HCFCs, or fibrous materials. It boosts structural strength and adheres to many substrates – all in one application and preserves its properties through time. Plus, it gives you the freedom to design creatively, while providing a monolithic continuous insulation with no cracks, gaps or voids between insulation and framing.

-
Open-cell insulation
The best option for warmer climates, open-cell insulation is:
- A lower cost alternative in applications where R-Value per inch (3.7) is not a major design consideration. Example: underside of a commercial roof deck.
- Offers acoustical performance for quieter working & living spaces.
- Can only be installed on the interior side of the building envelope.
- Ideal for party walls between units.
-
Closed-cell insulation
Typically used in colder climates, closed-cell insulation:
- Acts as air/vapor barrier
- Protects from radon intrusion
- Is mold resistant
- Can be installed on either side of the building envelope
- Has one of the highest R-values
