What is closed cell spray foam?

Closed cell spray foam is a rigid, high-density foam that cures into a durable insulation layer. It’s commonly chosen when you want stronger insulation value per inch, reduced air leakage, and a more robust building-assembly approach for demanding environments.

Where closed cell spray foam works best

  • Attics and rooflines: High performance insulation where space is limited.
  • Wall cavities: Strong thermal performance and reduced air leakage.
  • Rim joists and transitions: Common leakage points that benefit from foam detail work.
  • Commercial assemblies: Projects that need durability and performance.

Not every house needs closed cell. If your priority is comfort and air sealing at a lower cost, we may recommend open cell spray foam depending on the assembly and goals.

Closed cell vs open cell (clear differences)

Foam type Best for Strengths Considerations
Closed cell High-performance builds, limited-depth cavities Higher R-value per inch; dense and durable Higher cost; needs precise application and planning
Open cell Comfort upgrades, attics, walls Expands more; effective for filling gaps and reducing drafts Assembly-specific moisture strategy matters

Why closed cell foam is popular in South Florida

South Florida buildings fight heat and humidity most of the year. Closed cell foam is often selected for assemblies where you want strong performance in a thinner profile and a tighter building envelope.

Performance wins

  • Higher insulation value per inch
  • Reduced air leakage when applied consistently
  • Better comfort in rooms that run hot

Smart use cases

  • Limited-depth cavities
  • Rim joists and transition zones
  • Commercial builds needing durability

Our closed cell spray foam installation process

This isn’t a “spray and pray” service. We focus on surface prep, controlled application, consistent thickness, and clean execution so the foam performs as intended.

  • Scope check: Confirm target areas and access.
  • Assembly planning: Align foam thickness with performance goals.
  • Protect the space: Keep overspray controlled and contained.
  • Consistent application: Even coverage across the assembly.
  • Detail work: Edges, penetrations, and transitions sealed cleanly.
  • Final walkthrough: Confirm coverage and jobsite condition.

Credible guidance on spray foam insulation

The U.S. Department of Energy provides an overview of spray foam insulation and where it fits in energy upgrades.

Why choose Atlas for closed cell foam

  • Controlled installs: Clean work with overspray management.
  • Performance focus: We plan thickness and coverage, not guess.
  • Honest recommendations: If open cell fits better, we’ll say so.
  • Residential + commercial: Crews ready for both scopes.

Closed Cell Spray Foam FAQs

Quick answers before you schedule.

It can be, especially when you need high insulation value per inch, reduced air leakage, and a more robust assembly. The best choice depends on your attic/wall design, goals, and budget.
Closed cell is denser and delivers higher insulation value per inch. Open cell expands more and is commonly used for comfort upgrades and air sealing. The right fit depends on the assembly and performance goals.
It’s commonly used in attics/rooflines, wall cavities, rim joists, and transition areas where you want strong performance in a thinner profile.
Yes, when applied consistently it can help reduce uncontrolled air movement, which often improves comfort and helps the HVAC system maintain temperature more efficiently.
