How we do it.

- Open cell needs a liner.Open cell goes on OSB or a proper liner, never on bare metal.

What Fort Wayne buildings are like.
Fort Wayne is the largest town we cover in Allen County, and half of its 118,657 homes were standing before 1972. That is the era we do most of our retrofit work in, and it is why we usually start with the attic and the crawlspace.

Foam and thickness.
| Foam | Where it goes | Typical thickness | R-value per inch |
|---|---|---|---|
| Closed cell | Directly on metal. A coating over it is strongly recommended. | Quoted per job | R-7.6 to 8.1 |
| Open cell | On OSB or a proper liner. Never on bare metal. | Quoted per job | R-3.8 to 4.2 |
R-value measures how well insulation holds back heat. Higher is better. Closed cell is rigid and also blocks moisture; open cell is softer and dampens sound. Ranges are from Universal Polymers (UPC) data sheets, tested at 1 inch. We choose the foam for each job. See the data sheets
