What It Is
Open cell spray foam insulation uses air-filled cells to slow down the movement of heat and sound through walls and ceilings.
Once applied and cured, it has a soft, spongy texture that allows it to expand significantly and reach tight areas with ease.
Open cell foam insulation typically offers an R-value of up to R-3.6 per inch and has a low density of about 0.4 to 0.6 lbs per cubic foot.
This makes open cell spray foam a cost-effective choice for energy efficiency and acoustic performance.
Common Uses
Open cell spray foam insulation works well in structures that are likely to move or settle as time goes on.
Its flexibility allows it to move with the structure, making it a great fit for new construction or post-frame builds.
Here are some of the most common applications and benefits of open cell foam insulation:
While the upfront cost of open cell spray foam may be slightly higher than traditional insulation, it’s an investment that pays off over time with better performance and durability.

The crew at AFI was outstanding! Work was completed in a professional and timely manner. Highly recommended!
This company is the best. Our home posed many challenges as it is 148 years old with additions of unknown ages. Mike K. and his team faced each challenge with grace and got the job done to perfection. Even with a 70 lb puppy, Milly bringing him toys all day. I highly recommend them!
The guys did a great job this morning with an extraction! Looking forward to calling them when we need to spray foam!
The crew did a GREAT JOB.
Mike and his helper did a great job insulating my garage. Very Professional and did a good job cleaning up also. Highly recommend.
We were very impressed with the professionalism and speed at which we got service from AFI. Darren came out on Wednesday to give us a quote and had Mike and his team out on Friday to put in the insulation. They were courteous and did an excellent job. Would highly recommend.
They were very knowledgeable and helpful. Mike, Kane, Dustin and Zac worked together to do a good job. They told me what they were going to do and did it in a timely manner. They cleaned up the area after they were done and didn’t leave a mess. We would recommend AFI to everyone wanting a good job done with there insulating projects. Thank you guys. We now will stay warm this winter.
I recommend AFI for any insulation needs. Very professional, responsive, knowledgeable and top quality workmanship.
