Meridian swings between cold winters and hot dry summers. The right foam choice often depends on which part of the house, and which season, is giving you the most trouble. Some shops only sell one foam type and skip that conversation entirely.

Meridian Spray Foam Insulation runs a walkthrough first. We look at the specific area you're worried about, whether that's an attic, a crawlspace, or interior walls, and match the foam type to that spot and to Meridian's climate. Not a blanket recommendation.

FAQs

Open-Cell Vs Closed-Cell Consultations FAQs

Is closed-cell or open-cell better for an attic in a cold climate?

It depends on whether your attic is vented or unvented. Vented attics often do fine with open-cell on the floor. Unvented roof decks usually call for closed-cell's moisture resistance. We'll tell you which applies to your home.

How much closed-cell foam do I need if I go that route?

That gets calculated during the consult based on the specific area and your R-value target. We don't guess. We measure.

Is the consultation really free?

It's part of the estimate process. There's no cost or obligation to book a walkthrough.

Which foam fits a damp crawlspace versus a dry interior wall?

Crawlspaces and anywhere moisture is a factor call for closed-cell. Dry interior walls and attics with good ventilation usually do fine with open-cell, which costs less per board foot.
