Remember when a pink panther held the main player in home insulation? Those days are long gone. These days, homeowners, contractors, and building scientists (the experts who study home energy performance) are looking at the benefits of foam insulation. This newly popular home insulation can come in many forms. Let’s consider the differences between two popular options: spray foam and rigid foam. More specifically, we’ll compare closed-cell spray foam, which requires two separate components to be mixed during application, and the rigid foam insulation boards that come in many different thicknesses.
Both two-component spray foam and rigid foam can be used to improve home energy performance. But, sometimes, deciding which type of foam is best for a particular application can be difficult.
Two-part spray foam is best suited for big jobs and provides excellent air sealing and insulation. It is often sprayed against open framing, as in this attic installation.
