Traditional insulation vs. polyurethane spray foam in York, PA
Polyurethane spray foam insulation is an excellent insulation material. It has long-lasting properties and is excellent at repelling almost every type of pest. From bats, rats, mice, bugs, and others. Insulation spray foam is also durable and you will not need to keep replacing it as you would with traditional wool, fiberglass, or cellulose.
If you choose a closed-cell foam option you even get the added benefits of having a class 2 vapor retardant (no airflow through the material.) The closed-cell foam even acts as an aid for structural integrity due to the strength of the material once it fully hardens. Our spray foam insulation specialists make all of your insulation needs easy. We can offer same-day service and even have you back in your home or building within 24 hours.

What exactly is spray foam?
Polyurethane is always considered a “cellular plastic.” This plastic is created when you mix two different chemical solutions to create a quick-forming foam solution that can be used for a multitude of projects. From concrete repair to insulation, this material is truly amazing. If you happen to be eco-conscious, this foam is an excellent option.
Spray foam insulation in Bloomington offers two forms of spray foam. These foams are available in low and high-pressure options. You can choose between a closed or open-cell polyurethane foam depending on your project type and your insulation needs. We generally recommend using closed-cell high-density foam for most applications.

Is it an ECO-FRIENDLY material or option?“Polyfoam,” as it sometimes is called within the industry is known to be the most eco-friendly material available for long-term insulation needs.
According to the “PFA,” (Polyurethane foam association) |
Flexible Polyurethane Foam And The Environment:“Through ongoing efforts, the flexible polyurethane foam (FPF) industry is elevating the sustainability of its products and manufacturing processes. Today, FPF is one of the most environmentally benign and versatile materials in widespread use.
PFA uses its communications programs to give end-product manufacturers, designers, architects, and consumers a better understanding of the product’s environmental qualities and advantages.” |
Sustainable Raw Materials:“In the last decade, suppliers to the FPF industry pioneered bio-content raw materials, and the industry has embraced these. Polyols derived from renewable plants such as soy and castor beans yield foams with property improvements, including better resistance to yellowing and slightly better mechanical properties such as support factor and dynamic flex fatigue. Although technology does not currently allow for flexible polyurethane foam with entirely renewable content, promising research continues.” -PFA website

What exactly is polyurethane foam made of:The procedure for creating spray foam is not extremely complex. A couple of things that need to be understood are that the chemicals are stored in two separate containers. They are labeled container “A,” and container “B.” Depending on your location, the chemicals are generally the same within the containers.
Container A contains Contmethylene diphenyl diisocyanate with polymeric methylene diphenyl diisocyanate. Container B contains Polyols, catalysts, flame retardant, and a unique surfactant blend, along with blowing agent(s). Caution: *Please note, if you are outside of the US, these chemicals may not be in the containers mentioned above, they may be flipped depending upon your country- please always ask a certified professional near you for your safety.* Polyfoam always needs to be handled by a trained professional. You should NEVER consider a DIY spray foam insulation project. Doing so yourself could be hazardous to your health and the health of your family. The chemicals, before mixing and hardening can be damaging to the lungs if breathed in. Once the foam is set, there are absolutely no health concerns, but precautions need to be taken into consideration. |
Open Cell vs Closed Cell Foam: Which Should I Choose?
Deciding on the right foam is not a difficult process thankfully. Open and closed-cell foams vary in their abilities to insulate and vary in their strength/ flexibility. We have a spray foam option available for every project, and budget.
What are the differences between the foam types?
- The Cells (aka-bubbles) are what is different between an open-cell or closed-cell foam.
- Closed-cell: provides a smaller, harder, and tightly compacted “bubble,” or cell. This foam is great for adding structural strength to a house or building. Can withstand fluctuations in the environment or even extreme temperatures.
- Open-cell: Soft and bendable foam, the cells are deliberately left open. Great for cost-conscious consumers who also need to insulate harder-to-reach areas.
Explaining and understanding the “R-value,” of polyfoam:
“R-value,” is the foam’s resistance to heat flow or its ability to insulate.
R-Value Chart for each polyfoam type:
Closed-cell value- 6.0/in.
Open-cell value- 3.0-3.5/in
