Open Cell Spray Foam Insulation

Open Cell Spray Foam Insulation

The Breathable, Airtight Solution for Warmer, Healthier Homes

Open cell spray foam insulation is designed for residential spaces where breathability, comfort, and long-term energy savings matter most. Expanding to over 200 times its size, it fills every hidden gap, corner, and void — creating a superior airtight seal while still allowing moisture vapour to escape safely. This balance makes it ideal for attics, walls, floors, and timber frame structures. Backed by NSAI-certified materials and professional installation, our open cell spray foam helps homeowners reduce heat loss, prevent dampness, and create a healthier living environment.

Key Advantages of Spray Foam

Airtight Performance

Seals small gaps, delivering airtightness that cuts heat loss and enhances comfort.

Safe for Residential Use

Perfect for attics, frames, walls, and floors, maintaining the required air gap for roof safety.

Breathable & Moisture-Safe

Allows vapour to pass through, preventing condensation, mould, and timber decay.

Energy Efficient Savings

Reduces heating demand, and helps cut annual energy bills by up to 50%.

FAQ

Spray Foam Insulation FAQs

Find answers to common questions about spray foam insulation.

The R-value depends on the type of spray foam used:

Open-cell spray foam: R-3.5 to R-4 per inch

Closed-cell spray foam: R-6 to R-7 per inch
Closed-cell foam offers almost double the insulation performance per inch, making it ideal for roofs, walls, and external applications.

Yes. Open-cell spray foam is especially effective for sound reduction because of its soft, flexible, and air-absorbing structure. It helps reduce airborne noise such as voices, TVs, traffic sound, and machinery.
Closed-cell foam also reduces noise but is primarily designed for thermal performance and structural strength.Closed-cell foam also reduces noise but is primarily designed for thermal performance and structural strength.

Closed-Cell Foam:

Higher R-value (R-6 to R-7 per inch)

Acts as a vapour barrier

Adds structural strength

Best for roofs, external walls, metal buildings, sheds, and commercial units

Open-Cell Foam:

Lower R-value (R-3.5 to R-4 per inch)

Excellent soundproofing

More cost-effective

Ideal for attics, interior walls, ceilings, and residential spaces

Each type is chosen based on the building requirements and conditions.

Yes. There are two primary types:

  1. Open-Cell Spray Foam

    • Soft, breathable, expands greatly

    • Best for attics, ceilings, residential interior spaces

  2. Closed-Cell Spray Foam

    • Dense, rigid, moisture-resistant

    • Suitable for roofs, walls, floors, sheds, containers, and commercial/agricultural buildings

Both types use NSAI-certified, Agrément-approved products.

No. Spray foam insulation should only be installed by trained, certified professionals.
The equipment, chemical handling, ventilation requirements, and correct application techniques are specialised and must meet Irish building regulations.
DIY installation can lead to health risks, poor performance, or damage to the property.
