Which Spray Foam Insulation?
Spray foam Insulation is often categorized as either “open-cell” or “closed-cell”. There are several major differences between the two types depending on your desired spray foam insulation application requirements.

OPEN CELL INSULATION
Open Cell “breathable” insulation foam is spray-applied on the job site.
As the foam is sprayed, it increases in volume by up to 100-120 times, providing a fully adhered and airtight insulation layer which prevents frozen pipes in winter and keeps your home warm and cosy.
The foam fits all shapes, corners, and cavities perfectly leaving no gaps or draughts. Our system is totally breathable due to the use of our own fully breathable Vent Card as seen in the diagram. The use of our breathable vent card allows a 50mm air gap between the insulation material and roofing felt as required by the Irish Building Regulations. NSAI Agrément Certified Fully Breathable System. It has a better fire rating than any other comparable Open Cell spray foam made in Europe passed EN 13501-1 : (Bs1d0).
SPRAY FOAM INSULATION
E:500 soft spray insulation foam can be applied anywhere fiberglass was traditionally installed.
By replacing fiberglass, home owners get to enjoy improved insulation.
ATTIC INSULATION
When professionally installed, attic insulation is the most cost effective method of saving money on your heating bills, up to a possible 50% reduction could be achieved from a well insulation attic.
ROOF INSULATION
Insulating in between the rafters of your home with spray foam is a cost effective and beneficial way of saving money on your home or office heating bills. A reduction of up to 50% could be achieved.
FLOOR INSULATION
Insulating between the rafters of your floor shows a significant decrease in heat loss from your home. Cold air seeps through your floor cooling the air inside your home.
OPEN CELL INSULATION
Open cell spray foam is used primarily for residential applications, attic insulation, wall insulation, floor and roof insulation.
The cells are open allowing water vapour to escape. When used with the ‘breathable vent card system’, the required building standard 50mm air gap between foam and felt is met allowing your timbers to ‘breathe’.The foam can expand to between 100-120 times its size filling every nook and cranny.
Polyurethane spray foam insulation is inert after application providing a healthy warm environment for you and your family.
