What is R-value?R-value rating is a measurement of how well an insulation barrier resists the flow of heat from one area to another. The higher the R-Value rating, the better the insulation is at maintaining the temperature in your Milwaukee building.
Now, we could go into depth showing you the formulas necessary to determine R-Value ratings, but we’re not going to do that. What we will do is say that the higher the R-Value rating, the better it will perform in the Milwaukee area. But, make sure you are using an insulation that is at minimum rated at R-49. So, now that we know the recommended R-Value minimum is R-49, what type of insulation should you be using in your Milwaukee home or commercial building? Spray foam insulation is the recommended insulation for a Milwaukee building because it can easily meet, and exceed, the requirements of R-49+. But, there are two types of spray foam on the market. Which one is right for your project? |

Open Cell Foam Insulation and Closed Cell Foam Insulation
|
Closed cell foam is very dense, and rigid. It does not get damaged easily. Due to the density, it is great for keeping water out, but not very good at keeping sound out.
Open cell foam is not very dense, so it is a lot softer and easier to damage. Because it is porous, water can get through, but sound will get trapped (i.e. soundproofing). Each works for their specific application. Closed cell foam is used in industrial buildings, spacious areas, areas of high traffic, attic insulation, etc. Open cell foam is used in walls, areas where soundproofing is needed, or areas where wiring can be found. Of course, each application is different and it is best to consult a professional Milwaukee insulation contractor to determine what is best for you. |

What does spray foam insulation cost?
|
Spray foam insulation in Milwaukee is the most expensive option for insulation, but it’s also the best option. As a rule, open-cell foam is going to be less expensive per square foot than closed-cell. Each project has its own unique costs associated.
