Best-suited for big jobs. Two-part spray foam provides excellent air sealing and insulation, and is often sprayed against open framing, as in this attic installation.
Traditionally, fiberglass batt insulation has been the go to method of insulating attics, walls, and more. However, today's homeowners, contractors and building scientists (the experts who study home energy performance) spend a lot of time talking about foam insulation.
This newly popular insulation can come in many forms. Right now, let's consider the differences between the spray foam and rigid foam. More specifically, we can compare the closed-cell spray foam that requires two components to be mixed at the application nozzle, and the rigid foam insulation boards that come in different thicknesses.
Both two-component spray foam and rigid foam are useful for improving home energy performance. Sometimes it can be difficult to decide whether spray foam or rigid foam is best for a particular application.
