Definition of Spray Foam Insulation

Spray foam derives its name from two types of composite materials known as polyurethane and isocyanate. When the two are combined, they chemically react and cause a foamy material to expand and harden.

During spray foam insulation, the foam is sprayed while using a gun on the intended area and is sprayed until the foam materials expand and fill the gaps and crevices to which it is applied to. There are two types of spray foam insulation. One is known as open-cell spray foam and the other is closed-cell spray foam. The closed-cell spray foam is the type that is widely used and is endorsed for use. It is more expensive than open-cell spray foam and has amazing qualities.
