Which Spray Foam Is Right for Your West Kelowna Home?
There are two types of spray foam insulation, and the right choice depends on where it's being installed and the specific moisture challenges in West Kelowna. Here's what our local installers recommend.
Closed-Cell Spray Foam
West Kelowna's high rainfall and coastal or interior moisture means closed-cell foam is the standard choice for basements, crawlspaces, and any below-grade area. Its built-in vapour barrier prevents moisture from migrating through the building envelope.
- ✓ R-6 to R-6.5 per inch, highest R-value available
- ✓ Acts as a built-in vapour barrier, no separate poly required
- ✓ Adds structural rigidity to wall assemblies and rim joists
- ✓ Impervious to water, won't sag, settle, or absorb moisture over time
Open-Cell Spray Foam
Open-cell foam is a cost-effective option for interior partition walls, attic assemblies above the roof deck, and sound control between floors in West Kelowna homes. It breathes freely, which suits dryer interior spaces.
- ✓ R-3.5 to R-4 per inch, excellent air sealing at lower cost
- ✓ Superior soundproofing between rooms and floors
- ✓ More affordable per board foot, suited for large interior areas
- ⚠ Not suitable for below-grade or exterior applications in West Kelowna
