Homes
Quieter rooms, with open cell foam.
Open cell spray foam dampens sound through interior walls in homes and apartment buildings.
How we do it.
- Open cell is the foam for sound.Closed cell doesn't do sound dampening. Open cell does.
- Where it's used.Bedrooms, bathrooms, mechanical rooms, and walls between units in apartment buildings.
- Open walls.We spray open walls in new builds and remodels, not finished closed walls.
- Covered in living space.Foam in a living space needs to be covered or coated.
Foam and thickness.
| Foam | Where it goes | Typical thickness | R-value per inch |
|---|---|---|---|
| Open cell | Walls | 3.5 in + | R-3.8 to 4.2 |
R-value measures how well insulation holds back heat. Higher is better. Closed cell is rigid and also blocks moisture; open cell is softer and dampens sound. Ranges are from Universal Polymers (UPC) data sheets, tested at 1 inch. We choose the foam for each job. See the data sheets
Questions.
Can you insulate my existing finished walls?
We don't inject foam into closed walls, because there's no way to guarantee every cavity gets filled. We spray open walls in new builds, additions and remodels.
What's the difference between open cell and closed cell?
Open cell is used in attics, walls and for sound dampening, above grade, and works as an air barrier. Closed cell does everything open cell does except sound dampening: it's also a moisture and vapor barrier, and it adds strength.
