Close cell foam is a high-density, two-component spray polyurethane insulation that cures into a rigid, water-resistant layer. With an R-value of approximately R-6.5 per inch, it provides more thermal resistance per inch than any other insulation product on the market — a significant advantage in South Florida's hot, humid climate where every inch of attic and wall cavity space matters.
Because the foam cells are fully closed and packed tightly together, close cell foam acts as a Class II vapor retarder once cured. That means it not only insulates — it also limits how much moisture can pass through the wall or roof assembly. For Miami homes, metal commercial buildings, and industrial facilities, that combined thermal-and-vapor performance is exactly what's needed to handle Florida heat and humidity year-round.
Where Close Cell Foam Is Most Effective:
- Roof decks & rooflines — Bonds directly to the underside of the roof to block radiant heat at the source
- Exterior & party walls — Adds racking strength while sealing the cavity against air and vapor
- Metal buildings & warehouses — Eliminates condensation drip on the underside of metal roof and wall panels
- Rim joists & band areas — Seals one of the leakiest spots in any building envelope
- Cold storage & refrigerated facilities — Maintains tight thermal envelopes where moisture control is critical
- New construction & remodels — Maximum coverage installed during framing or retrofit work
