Open Cell Spray Foam has its place in the world of inside insulation. Just like its harder(higher density) cousin, it provides superior insulation due to its very high status of air tightness. It is especially suited for attic insulation.

Open Cell Spray Foam is sprayed in place. Good grade foam looks like a solid mass without cavities or holes. Only below a microscope can the burst or open cells be seen. Open cells are manufactured by a high mass of blowing agent which causes the cells to pop like balloons. This is by design: it enhances the yield, cuts the cost of the finished products, and makes the foam breathable. The breathing pace is very sluggish, so the house is in effect still airtight, but the insulation enables humidity in the other building parts to leak out.  Today a lot of home owners are using spray foam which can make a big difference to the ecumenical temperature of your domicile.

Open Cell Spray Insulation supplies a long list of advantages to the people living or working in a house or house:

1) Energy savings. In many evaluations in the U.S. the foamed abodes burn around 50% less power than dwellings with normal insulation, even when insulated to similar U-value. So it is not the U-value but the air tightness that is significant. Conventional structures lose 70% of all interior air every hour. This is called the (involuntary) air changes per hour/ACH. When you use E:zero E500, ACH is 0.1 instead of 0.7. The fact is that your heated or conditioned air is lost about 7 times more often if the house is not foamed. Many suppliers do not tell you this but we know it’s a fact.

2) IAQ – Indoor Air Quality: A chief concern around the world. Foamed residences allow the inhabitants to oversee the unwanted intrusion of moisture, allergens, dust, and everything else penetrating the building envelope. IAQ is greatly improved in a foamed home.

3) Quiet – very quiet, because sound is an air wave which moves through the imperfections of the facility envelope. Besides, Open cell foam is soft and simply absorbs sound.

4)  Healthful, because foam is stable; it does not react. Beyond that, it’s water-based! Many people don’t know that car seats, pillows, and mattresses are made from a close relative of insulation foam. No concerns there.

5) The environment loves foam, too! Homes insulated with foam may reduce CO2 emissions by 50%. Here is a unique possibility to save the planet and money in one step.

6) Technical details: a cubic meter of E500 weighs only 8 kg. E500 passed the European burn test SBI EN 13823. Open cell foam is not waterproof, and it is not a vaporisation barrier. It is made for CPI in Germany.

Open Cell foam provides the ideal  roof insulation for your home and based on the points highlighted above this foam technology seems to be the way to go. When dealing with cavity wall and attic insulation open cell foam is always the most environmentally sound choice
