Skokie project - closed spray insulation

In our most recent project we have installed a closed spray insulation in entire "building envelop" project ( approximately 5,200.0 sq.ft. area). Skokie, IL

The most popular question for all our clients was:

Cost Of Spray Foam Insulation. 

Spray foam is available in two different types: open-cell spray foam which is usually less expensive, however "R value" is lower compering to close cell,  and it is very from $0.70 to $0.80 per board foot and closed-cell spray foam which is about $1 to $1.50 per board foot. Closed-cell spray foam provides a higher R-value. The inverse of U-factor. per inch  is about 6.5 - 6.8

There are two primary types of polyurethane spray foams, known as open cell and closed cell. They differ in densities and other aspects that can be beneficial or detrimental in a given application. Closed cell is the denser and more common of the two types of polyurethane spray foam.

Typical material used for closed spray  insulation is Polyethylene foam is a strong, resilient closed-cell foam. Ideally suited as the material or part of a material required in products requiring a shock absorbing, vibration dampening, insulation, barrier or buoyancy component

Generally speaking Spray polyurethane foam (SPF) is better than any other type of insulation at reducing air leakage.

With foamed-in-place insulation, it is relatively easy to fill wall and ceiling cavities completely. In our recent project we have used closed-cell insulation with R-value 6.7. Closed-cell spray foam provides a higher R-value per inch (6.5) compering to other types of insulation is  less expensive insulation types like cellulose and fiberglass (3.5 to 3.7).

Most spray polyurethane foam is called "two-component" foam. Two ingredients—conventionally called "1" and "2" or A , B

components—are mixed on site using special equipment mounted in a trailer or truck or can be mixed on site delivered in original containers. 

A chemical reaction begins as soon as the chemicals are mixed. The liquid mixture foams, expands, and eventually hardens.
