Spray Foam Insulation Benefits
By keeping conditioned air in your home, spray foam prolongs the life of your HVAC system by decreasing its run time. By reducing the time needed to condition your home, you could save up to 40% on your heating and cooling bills.
Spray Foam equalizes room temperatures across multiple floors and eliminates hot/cold spots in your home.
When applied to the subfloor or crawlspace, Closed Cell Spray Foam can prevent wood floors from cupping from excessive humidity.
Because spray foam seals the cracks in the attic and subfloor, indoor air quality is improved by decreasing dust, pollen, and other allergens.
Open Cell Spray Foam is an excellent sound inhibitor, making it the perfect choice in walls adjacent to the kitchen or living room.
Spray Foam Types Explained:
Open Cell vs. Closed Cell
Open Cell Foam: An upgrade from traditional insulations like fiberglass batts or blown cellulose, Texas Insulation’s Open Cell Foam creates an air seal to keep conditioned air indoors, and dust and pollen out. In addition to its high insulating value, Open Cell Spray Foam is a leading soundproofing material and is excellent around home theaters, kitchens, or between floors.
Closed Cell Foam: Texas Insulation’s Closed Cell Foam cures to very dense hardened state, giving it the added benefit of strengthening the structure or roof up to 3 times, making it very popular in hurricane zones and storm prone areas. In addition to the energy saving benefits of Open Cell Foam, Closed Cell Foam is also a moisture barrier, making it the perfect choice for crawlspaces or basements.

Closed Cell vs Open Cell
Spray Foam vs Traditional Insulation
When comparing Spray Foam Insulation to traditional fiberglass insulation, one of the most important factors is air sealing. During the installation process, Spray Foam expands to fill cracks and corners, creating a seal that keeps conditioned air inside, and unconditioned air outside. Most older attics also use a fan to attempt to vent the hot air out, adding to the loss of conditioned air that rises from living spaces below.
The chart to the left illustrates the dramatic difference Spray Foam can make when replacing traditional fiberglass insulation. Think of fiberglass insulation as a sweater—adding another sweater won’t stop the wind from blowing through the gaps and openings in your house. Only air sealing can completely shield your home from costly leaks.
