Understanding Closed Cell Foam Home Insulation Service from American Insulation
Fort Worth – Dallas – All North Texas
Insulation comes in many shapes, sizes, and textures. There are so many different kinds that can keep your attic and home protected from the elements, ensuring that your home is as safe as it can be. Each different type of insulation serves its own purpose, requires its own unique installation, and offers its own set of strengths. Knowing which insulation is best for your attic takes knowledge of both your attic and the insulation in question.
Understanding Closed Cell Foam
Cells are the bubbles that make up the foam that is used to insulate your home. A closed cell foam is made up of cells that are completely closed. Those cells are pressed together so that no air and moisture is able to get inside of the foam.
Since there is no room for the air or moisture to penetrate, that means this kind of foam is usually much more stable and rigid than the open cell foam counterpart. It is also much more dense, around 1.75 pounds per cubic foot.
The biggest difference between these two types of insulation cells is that closed cell foam is thinner when sprayed on. Because of this, you can apply multiple applications of the closed cell foam to achieve a greater R-value, which dictates how well the foam insulates.

My entire downstairs is usually much draftier. Right after getting our new home theater, I decided it was time to fix it. Thanks to American Insulation for your professional and prompt work. I highly recommend these guys.

Brian Hawthorne
A definite difference can be felt and noticed. My Upstairs AC would start about 10:30 and not cycle off till around 7:00 at night. I had been putting this off for year and wish I hadn’t waited. American Insulation did an outstanding job. Thank you to Eddie, Raul and Dustin American Insulation installed insulation in my 2 story house with living room being a single story ceiling that is very tight to get in to. Eddie, Raul, worked hard to fit in there and get the attic space filled with insulation. Eddie , Raul and Dustin were all fantastic to work with and I'm extremely satisfied with the work and professionalism.
Jonathon
American Insulation installed insulation in my one story home with a vaulted ceiling. Eddie, Raul, and Dustin were all fantastic to work with and I'm extremely satisfied with the work and professionalism everyone in the company had with my family and I. When the installation started, we were asked to turn off the A/C, which was normally running constantly before. Within the first hour of installing, with the A/C still off I could tell a notable difference in our house as before the temperature would have been unbearable. Thank you Eddie, Raul, and Dustin for your fantastic work!
Denise Easterday
American Insulation, LLC, Arlington, TX, just installed new attic insulation for my one-story home. My home was built in 1985, so the original insulation had settled and did not offer the R-rating protection needed for Texas. American Insulation added new insulation over all attic areas, and now I have an R-49 protection rating! With our current summer temperatures I have already noticed a difference! The installation crew did a great job, and went above and beyond to ensure all areas of my attic were insulated. The people I worked with from the company - Dustin, Nathan, and Eddie, were excellent! They were prompt, courteous, and very thorough! I would highly recommend this company if you are in need of attic insulation!

Frequently Asked Questions
Spray foam is much safer than you think. It’s a form of plastic with millions of gas bubbles inside. It actually hardens to a degree, so there are no particles for anyone to accidentally breathe in.
This is completely untrue. Polyurethane, which spray foam is made of, was founded over 80 years ago by a German scientist!
Mold prevention is perhaps one of the best benefits of this material. Because it does harden, water and moisture have a harder time penetrating the material, causing mold, damage and more.
Most typically, spray foam is made up of a polyurethane blend, which is just another way to say it’s a plastic-based material.
No, it is not. After 24 hours, any toxic chemicals or gasses will have dissipated, making spray foam completely safe for you and your loved ones. Even your pets!
During and some time after installation, there will be toxic fumes present. Our contractors use special equipment/covering to protect themselves and they will communicate to you the circumstances.
