Closed Cell Spray Foam Insulation Bartlett TN | Free Quote
Closed Cell Spray Foam is the best most efficient insulation you can install in your home. Our professional installation team works throughout Bartlett, Cordova, and the greater Memphis area for homeowners who are tired of high energy bills, rooms that never cool down, and attics that feel like a sauna by mid afternoon. If you are looking for the strongest possible air seal, insulation with the highest R value per inch, and a moisture barrier that can prevent mold growth even in the Tennessee summers, closed cell spray foam is the product for you.
What Closed Cell Spray Involves
Closed cell spray foam insulation is a dense rigid foam the once sprayed will expand and harden. When referring to closed cell structure, this means that each tiny cell is sealed shut. This will block the heat, air, and water all at once. This product delivers roughly R-6 to R-7 per inch which is the highest of any spray foam. You are getting more insulating power in less space!
We install and spray directly onto the surface that you want insulated. This could be the underside of the roof, attic walls, crawl spaces, rim joists, or new construction cavities. As it expands, it fills every crack, gap, and penetration that a standard fiberglass batt would leave open. Once the spray is cured, it is rigid enough to add structural strength to your wall and wont settle, sag, or lose performance over time. No reinstalling, no worry that you will lose insulation protection over the years.

When Closed Cell Spray Foam Makes Sense For You
Closed cell is the right choice if maximum performance in a tough environment is what you're looking for. In the Memphis area, this usually means:
- Attic roof decks in summer temperatures can reach upwards of 130 degrees Fahrenheit and you need the strongest possible heat barrier.
- Crawl spaces or rim joists are letting in humidity and ground moisture which poses a threat of mold and damage over the long term.
- Exterior walls, especially in older homes, may have been under insulated and can not keep up with the current Tennessee climate.
- If there are concerns of moisture anywhere, moisture in a home always leads to a future problem. Anything you can do to keep moisture out is a win.
if your home was built after the year 2000, has rooms over a garage that never seem comfortable, or has a damp crawl space, the top of the line protection offered by closed cell insulation might be the right fit for you.
Why These Problems Happen
Most homes in the Memphis area are built wither fiberglass batt insulation because it's cheap and easy. Unfortunately, it does not provide a home with the level of insulation required to alleviate future problems. Batt insulation does not stop air movement which lets hot humid air pass right through into your living space. Over time, season after season, this flow of humid air will lead to rot, mold, and musty air throughout your home.
Closed cell spray foam solves all of these problems with one application. It stops all air leaks, blocks moisture, and prevents humidity from entering your conditioned home. This means less stress on your AC system, and in turn lower energy bills and a more comfortable home.
What Affects Cost
Closed cell costs more per square foot than open cell or fiberglass batt insulation. Here's what impacts the costs:
- Thickness & Square Footage
- More area and inches of foam very simply means more material. The foam is dense and fills every inch of the space being sprayed.
- Insulated Space
- An attic that is open will be must faster and easier to spray that a tight sectioned crawl space. This will be reflected in the cost required to perform the work.
- Access and Preparation
- If you need old insulation removed, have hard to reach areas, or areas required removal of items to access, this will add to labor required to complete the job.
- Closed Cell vs Open Cell
- Closed cell uses more material and is denser. This results in more performance but also drives a higher cost due to the material required.
The upside: Closed Cell will pay you back year after year. Your air seal and R value will cut your energy bills season after season, and qualifying attic insulation work may even be eligible for up to $500 back through TVA EnergyRight rebates.
FAQs
Is the extra cost of closed cell actually worth it?
If there is moisture present, for rim joists, or crawl spaces, the answer is yes. The moisture barrier and high R value make it the preferred long term solution. For interior wall and attics where moisture isn't a concern, open cell can be the more cost effective solution.
Does closed cell spray foam stop moisture?
Yes, at the correct thickness closed cell will acts as an effective vapor barrier. This is why it is the go to solution for crawl spaces and below grade areas in the humid Memphis climate.
How long does closed cell spray foam last?
Forever. It will not break down, sag, or settle. If installed correctly it lasts the life of the home with no need to re-insulate.
Will closed cell spray foam lower my energy bills?
Most homeowners notice a drop in their bills within one month! The results are immediate. Sealing the air leaks and blocking heat transfers allow your AC to run less in the summer while maintaining the same climate inside.
Can you spray closed cell spray foam in an exiting home?
Yes, we insulate existing attics, crawl spaces, and walls, not just new construction homes. We will assess what is needed to keep your living spaces clean and section off where the install is happening.
