I've decided to use spray foam insulation on my shop walls. It is a Morton Pole building. I've read about all I can and have pretty much decided on closed cell instead of open cell. Just thought before I completely made up my mind I would ask some opinions from this site.
The quotes I have are 4700. for 3" open cell, 6900. for 2" closed cell and 7800. for 1 1/2" closed cell.
The company that is 7800. has foam with a Honeywell gas in the bubbles that is supposed to be an insulator. The 6900.00 company has air in the foam bubbles. Does it really matter?
It sounds like closed cell has too many good qualities like R value, adding strength to the structure, waterproof etc., not to use but it will be a 2200.00 difference in price.
Am I off base in my thinking? I'll add the price difference isn't an issue.
Thanks and fire away.
