Now everyone is talking about saving in the lean economy if not in recession yet. You might think of ways to save on house energy by filling walls with some form of insulation to reduce energy loss. Often you will come to the decisive point that choose between open cell spray form and close cell spray form insulation.
Open cell form is costly effective because it is expandable and can fill the wall with less materials. Of course it comes with compromise, the R-vale is not that great, sometime extra layer insulation may be needed. In general, open cell form is best for the wall and roof that need to be dry.
At other hand, closed cell form has better R-value and because it is not expandable compared to the open cell, it add extra strength to the wall. Also it is moisture resistant so it will best suitable for basements where you don’t want to have moisture infiltration.
So choose based on where is needed and also how much you like to pay. Looking for some tools while renovating the house, check out the deals listed on homeware catalog before going to the local store.
