In the dry, desert climate of Scottsdale, AZ, insulation isn’t just about keeping warm during chilly nights—it’s also about keeping cool through long, scorching summers. At Scottsdale Insulation, we specialize in high-performance spray foam insulation that goes beyond traditional methods to deliver energy efficiency, air sealing, and long-term savings.
Whether you're a homeowner looking to reduce utility bills or a business owner seeking commercial-grade performance, spray foam insulation is the smart investment. Let’s explore what it is, how it works, and why Scottsdale Insulation is your go-to partner for expert installation.
What Is Spray Foam Insulation?
Spray foam insulation is a cutting-edge material that starts as a liquid and rapidly expands into a dense foam upon application. This reaction allows it to fill every crack, gap, and void, creating a seamless thermal and air barrier. Unlike traditional fiberglass or cellulose insulation, spray foam doesn’t sag, shift, or leave exposed gaps over time.
Key Components of Spray Foam Insulation
Spray foam insulation is made from two core components:
-
Isocyanate
-
Polyol resin
These chemicals are stored separately and only mix at the spray nozzle during application. Once combined, they react and expand on contact with a surface. The result is a lightweight but durable foam that adheres tightly to walls, ceilings, and other substrates.
Types of Spray Foam Insulation
At Scottsdale Insulation, we offer two types of spray foam to meet diverse structural and budgetary needs:
🟢 Open-Cell Spray Foam
Open-cell foam is made of partially encapsulated cells that make the foam soft, flexible, and breathable. It’s a cost-effective solution that’s perfect for:
-
Interior walls and ceilings
-
Soundproofing between rooms
-
Attics or crawlspaces with low moisture risk
Benefits:
-
Great for sound insulation
-
Lightweight and easy to install
-
More affordable than closed-cell
🔵 Closed-Cell Spray Foam
This dense, rigid foam features fully closed cells, providing exceptional insulation and moisture resistance. It’s ideal for:
-
Exterior walls
-
Crawlspaces, basements, and garages
-
High-humidity or flood-prone areas
Benefits:
-
Higher R-value per inch
-
Strengthens wall structures
-
Moisture and vapor barrier in one
Why Spray Foam Insulation?
Spray foam insulation stands out due to several performance features:
✅ High R-Value
The R-value measures thermal resistance. Spray foam—especially closed-cell—offers among the highest R-values of any insulation type, often ranging from R-6 to R-7 per inch. That means better control over indoor temperatures and less reliance on HVAC systems.
✅ Airtight Seal
Spray foam acts as both insulation and an air sealant. It prevents air leaks that can compromise energy efficiency. This means your HVAC system works less, your indoor temperatures stay consistent, and your utility bills drop.
✅ Moisture Barrier
Closed-cell spray foam resists moisture and vapor penetration, protecting your home from mold, mildew, and wood rot—especially critical in basements and crawlspaces.
✅ Longevity
Properly installed spray foam can last for 25+ years with minimal maintenance. It does not sag, compress, or degrade over time like other materials.
✅ Eco-Friendly Option
Lower energy usage contributes to a smaller carbon footprint. Additionally, many foam products today are formulated with environmentally responsible blowing agents.
