Spray Foam

Nextgen Spray Foam offers more than just insulation—it’s an air barrier and vapor retarder rolled into one powerful building material. Our advanced spray foam solutions are designed to meet and exceed the demands of energy-efficient building codes and consumer expectations.

Types of Spray Foam and Their Unique Benefits

Our spray foam comes in various types, each providing distinct advantages:

· Open Cell Spray Foam: Perfect for filling cavities with an R-value ranging from 3.6 to 4.45 per inch.

· Closed Cell Spray Foam: Offers superior insulation with an R-value ranging from 5.7 to 7.0 per inch.

· Closed Cell Roofing Spray Foam: Ideal for exterior applications with an R-value ranging from 5.5 to 6.7 per inch.

Why R-Value is Just the Beginning?

While R-value is crucial for insulation, it only tells part of the story. R-value measures only the material’s resistance to conductive heat flow, which is one of the three types of heat transfer. It does not account for convective and radiant heat transfer, which can also significantly impact a building’s thermal efficiency.

Some insulation materials, like spray foam, provide both thermal insulation and air sealing. R-value does not capture the benefits of materials that prevent air and moisture movement, which can be crucial for overall building performance and comfort.

While R-value is still a useful indicator of a material’s inherent insulating properties, it is often insufficient on its own for fully evaluating insulation performance. A more comprehensive assessment should consider air sealing capabilities, real-world installation factors, and how the insulation works within the entire building system.

Unlike traditional insulation, Nextgen Spray Foam creates an airtight seal, enhancing overall energy efficiency. By air sealing your home, you’ll maximize energy performance and enjoy greater comfort.

Comprehensive Insulation Solutions for Every Need

Nextgen Spray Foam meets diverse insulation requirements for walls, floors, ceilings, and roofs across all climates. Our products not only comply with local energy codes but also exceed them for super-insulated structures. Whether you’re building a new home or upgrading an existing one, our spray foam ensures exceptional performance and efficiency.

The Power of Air Barriers and Permeability

Nextgen Spray Foam acts as a robust air barrier, preventing unwanted airflow between conditioned and unconditioned spaces. This results in improved insulation performance and indoor air quality. By creating a tight seal, our spray foam keeps out pollen, dust, insects, and other allergens, ensuring a healthier living environment.

Superior Moisture Control with Vapor Retarders

Our closed cell spray foam qualifies as a Class II vapor retarder, effectively controlling moisture movement within your building. Proper moisture management is essential to prevent mold growth and maintain the integrity of your structure. Trust Nextgen Spray Foam to protect your investment and enhance the longevity of your building materials.
