What's that blue spray on foam insulation?

Asked Aug 10, 2008, 07:01 PM — 11 Answers
I've seen people on the Holmes on Homes tv show on TLC use a blue spray on foam insulation that looks like Great Stuff. Someone in my town is a dealer for something called Icynene. Is that the same thing that they're using on TV? What is the cost of that compared to standard fiberglass insulation? What is the are value? Has anyone worked with this? Thanks.

Further question....

What is the fire resistance of these foams? My family is the most important thing to me. I know some cellulose insulation has fire retardants added. I've seen some spray foam is rated as fire resistant. How does this compare to other insulations?

My name is dominick i am a spray foam sprayer in new england. and reading through these post i see one thing that is not coming up. Yes 2lb foam is a better insulation compared to open cell and fiberglass. I dont believe that it should be sprayed in any roof line. since it is a moisture barrier and hold up to 40 psi of water. you will never know if your roof is leaking or where it is leaking from. my company does not like spraying closed cell in a roof for this reason. you would have to replace your whole roof just for one leak. that is my only concern about any product that i spray and icyenine product does not give you the right r value that you need when applied. the best for closed cell is heatlock soy bean and for open cell is agerbalance which has a better r value that super seal 500
