FAQs

Open-Cell Vs Closed-Cell Consultations FAQs

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

Open-cell is lighter and cheaper, better for sound and air sealing. Closed-cell resists moisture better and has a higher R-value per inch, which matters more on exposed roof decks.

Is closed-cell foam worth the extra cost over open-cell?

Depends on the space. For moisture-exposed areas like crawlspaces, yes. For interior walls where moisture isn't a factor, open-cell often makes more financial sense.

How to estimate spray foam insulation?

A consult feeds directly into our estimate process. Once we know the foam type and square footage, we give you a written cost range on the spot or shortly after.

How much does Spray Foam Insulation cost in Star?

Costs vary by foam type and project size, generally $1.00–$1.75 per board foot for open-cell and $1.50–$2.50 for closed-cell. The consult narrows that down for your specific space.
