Do you actually need closed-cell for every room? Usually not. Open-cell foam is lighter, cheaper per board foot, and a practical choice for interior walls and attics where moisture isn't the main concern.

Star Spray Foam Insulation Pros uses open-cell foam a lot in new Star builds, especially on interior walls where sound dampening matters more than a vapor barrier. It expands fully into cavities and seals air leaks that batt insulation just can't touch.

FAQs

Open-Cell Spray Foam Insulation FAQs

What's the difference between open-cell and closed-cell for an attic?

Open-cell is lighter and cheaper, good for interior sound control. Closed-cell resists moisture better and carries a higher R-value per inch, which matters more on a roof deck.

Does spray foam insulation smell or off-gas after installation?

There's a chemical smell during application that fades as the foam cures, typically within a day or two. We recommend ventilating the space during and right after spraying.

How much does Spray Foam Insulation cost in Star?

Open-cell foam generally runs less per board foot than closed-cell, with typical jobs landing $1.00–$1.75 per board foot depending on access and square footage.

Is DIY Spray Foam Insulation a good idea?

Small box kits work for minor gaps but struggle to match the even expansion and full cavity fill that professional rigs deliver on larger wall or attic sections.
