Open-Cell Spray Foam

Open cell foam insulation is a type of spray foam that has a low density and a sponge-like texture. It is created by mixing and spraying a foam material that expands and cures into a lightweight and porous insulation. This type of insulation is typically used in residential construction for a variety of applications.

Open cell foam insulation is commonly applied to walls, ceilings, and roof decks, where it provides thermal insulation and soundproofing. It is also used in areas such as attics and crawl spaces.

Closed-Cell Spray Foam

Closed cell foam insulation is a type of spray foam that has a high density and a rigid, impermeable structure. It is created by mixing and spraying a foam material that expands and cures into a dense, closed-cell form, which prevents air and moisture from passing through. This type of insulation is typically used in various commercial, and industrial applications.

Closed cell foam insulation is commonly applied to walls, ceilings, and roof decks. It is also used in basements, foundations, and exterior walls to enhance structural strength and create a moisture barrier. Additionally, closed cell foam is utilised in areas exposed to high moisture or water, such as crawl spaces and marine environments. Due to its impermeable nature it is commonly sold and used as a restoration product.

Firstly, it’s important to note that there are two types of spray foam insulation: Open-cell and Closed-cell. These terms describe the composition and structure of each type.

The extent of potential problems largely depends on how each type of foam is applied. Another crucial factor is the level of care taken before installation. Fortunately, we now have clear cut guidance issued by the PCA and RICS on what is and what isn’t fit for purpose. We can now, with confidence, assess report and advise consumers and homeowners within this strict guidance.

If you’re unsure which type of spray foam you have, please contact us today.

Hazardous Materials

Spray foam contains Isocyanates which are powerful irritants to the mucous membranes of the eyes and gastrointestinal and respiratory tract.

Timber Damage

Spray foam has been known to cause damage to the structure of your roof by not allowing it to breathe, which can result in rotting. Most of the time this will be hidden behind the foam itself.

Fire Risk

Spray foam is very flammable putting your property and anyone living in it at much higher risk.

Moving Home

Because of the dangers associated with spray foam insulation, mortgage companies may not lend for properties with spray foam installed.

Equity Release

Just like mortgages, your provider will more than likely check your property for spray foam insulation and can refuse to release equity on this basis.

What is Dry Ice Blasting?

Dry ice blasting is an advanced cleaning technique used to effectively remove both open and closed cell spray foam insulation. The process involves the use of compressed air to propel solid CO2 pellets, commonly known as dry ice, onto the surface of the spray foam. As the dry ice makes contact with the foam, it rapidly sublimates, lifting away the foam while simultaneously eliminating any dirt and contaminants present.

What sets dry ice blasting apart is its non-abrasive and non-destructive nature, making it particularly suitable for delicate surfaces. Unlike traditional cleaning methods, dry ice blasting does not require water or cleaning chemicals, making it an environmentally friendly solution.

In summary, dry ice blasting provides a versatile, eco-friendly, and efficient method for cleaning closed cell spray foam insulation and is widely applicable in different industries.
