Cell Foam
Properly installed closed-cell foam can give your home and your wallet the
following benefits:
Initial R-Value of 6.5-7 per inch of material applied*

*(3 Inches of foam yields an R-Value of 19.5-21, where as it takes over 6 inches of conventional
fiberglass to give you R-19 which is building standard Maine today for exterior walls)
