What is Spray Foam Insulation?
Spray foam insulation in Athens, Georgia mainly comes in two liquid chemical forms. These are normally polyurethane and isocyanate.

As it mixes with the air and is being sprayed on your structure, it can expand 30 to 60 times its liquid form. There are basically two different types of this insulation. One is called open cell while the other is called closed cell. Both have their purposes to offer a quality insulation job to any structure, but their purposes are similar yet offer different qualities. Many times, a combination of the two are used on many insulation projects.
