1/2 lb spray foam is a low-density, expanding insulation that fills gaps, cracks, and hard-to-reach spaces while creating an effective air barrier. Unlike traditional batt insulation, it expands up to 100 times its liquid volume, allowing it to seal irregular cavities and improve overall energy performance. Open-cell spray foam typically delivers an R-value of approximately R-3.5 to R-3.6 per inch and becomes highly effective as an air barrier when installed at sufficient thickness.
In Barrie homes, low-density spray foam is commonly installed in:
