Open Cell Spray Foam Bartlett TN | Free Quote
Open cell spray foam is a smart and cost-effective way to insulate the interior of your home. All across Bartlett, Cordova, and the greater Memphis area we professionally install for homeowners who want a serious upgrade over fiberglass batt insulation without the higher price tag of closed cell. For interior walls, attic spaces, and cathedral ceilings, open cell delivers high impact results and excellent performance without breaking the bank.
What Open Cell Spray Foam Involves
Open cell spray foam is a lighter and softer foam that will expand dramatically as it cures. It can expand up to 100 times its volume. This expansion will reach into every cavity, gap, and crack sealing up air leaks that regular insulation would leave completely open. The reason it's called open cell comes from the structure of the individual cells that aren't fully sealed. This makes the foam lighter and more flexible, and a terrific sound absorber.
It delivers an R factor of R-3.5 and R-4 per inch. This is lower than closed cell but because of the large cost savings comparatively, its often the better value and smarter choice for filling large interior areas like attic roof decks and stud cavities.
Our professional technicians will spray directly onto the surface you want insulated and the foam will expand to fill the space completely. It will then cure into a soft permanent air barrier.
When You Need Open Cell Spray Foam
Open Cell is the right call for you when a strong performance and value on interior and dry applications is required. In the Memphis area, this usually means:
- Attic roof decks where you want to seal out the intense summer heat without paying the closed cell premium cost.
- Interior walls where you are looking for sound dampening results.
- Cathedral and vaulted ceilings where the expanding foam will fill awkward and hard to reach spaces.
- Anywhere that moisture is not a concern since open cell does not create a vapor barrier like closed cell does.
If you are insulating a large interior area and are looking for the best performance, open cell spray foam is usually the best option for you.
Open Cell vs Closed Cell: Which is the Solution for You?
This question homeowners constantly struggle with as there are so many benefits to both. Closed cell is denser, has a high R value per inch, and will act as a moisture barrier. This makes it the right choice for rim joists, crawl spaces and anywhere moisture and humidity is a factor. Open cell is a lighter, softer foam that expands more, dampens sound better, and is more budget friendly. It is the right choice for applications at interior walls, attics, and ceilings where moisture is not a concern.
We see our customers in Memphis most often opting for a mix of both products. Closed cell where intense humidity and moisture are constant problems, and open cell for locations that moisture is not an issue but they still want the energy and sound benefits.

What Affects the Cost and How Can Install Budget Friendly?
Open cell is generally more affordable than closed cell and there are key factors that will impact the cost of our installation. Knowing what impacts your cost will allow us to make your installation as affordable as possible. Here's what impacts your cost:
Square Footage and Thickness
- Larger areas and thicker applications will use more material and therefore increase the cost of the installation. Ensuring that we are only spraying only the areas needed will ensure you are getting the best value.
Space Being Insulation
- Attic spaces are typically cheaper when compared to a tight sectioned cavity that is hard to access. Keep this in mind when we review the areas you need insulated.
Preparation and Access
- Removing old insulation and sheetrock where needed ahead of time can allow our installed to be quicker and easier, saving you time and money.
Open Cell vs Closed Cell
- Open cell uses less material as it is less dense of a final product. This material savings ends up in your pocket!
And remember, you will get paid every month in energy savings! Sealing your home's air leaks cuts your energy bills every month, and qualifying attic insulation work may be eligible for up to $500 back through TVA EnergyRight rebates.
