What a great video! Frank is a true pro and knows his craft. Love that he is using the Solstice product. I would gladly pay a premium for somebody like him when it comes to spray foam. I learned a great deal from this video- lots of great questions. Thanks so much Rob for this video!

Back in the days of Bob Villa I was watching "This Old House." For one place they added 3-1/2" polyisocyanurate "boards" for the walls. They mentioned that this had an insulation value of R-6 per inch. So, when I put vinyl on my house I put 1" thick boards on as a sub layer to the vinyl. I wish I had a way to check for whether it did any good. I doubt it was as good as having a pro do it, but it's better than nothing.

Do you ever spray 3/4's of a cavity with closed cell and then finish off the last 1/4 with open cell to fill the cavity? I realize There wouldn't be too much of an R value gained, but over the whole house it could make a difference. Well that and my contractor ocd hates seeing an unfilled void...
@frankmbood2253

No, with 3/4 of a cavity of closed cell you have an amazing assembly with no need for more "R" value. If you have a 2x6 wall with 2" of closed cell and a 3.5" fiberglass batt you will have a higher R value at a very cost effective price point. I wouldn't recommend closed cell filled with open cell in a wall cavity but, we do a large majority of roofs this way. 2" closed and the balance of open cell depending on spec.

I had open cell foam installed on June 2 fast forward to August 4 still makes the house smell like paint. I thought the purpose of the foam was to help keep house cool but not in my case. If course the foam did it's job had I been able to keep the windows down but because of the smell I can't. Keep in mind I live in the house where live the temperature is reaching 100 degrees.

What is best practice regarding a vapor barrier with closed cell foam with stick framing? What I am asking is, should I install a 6 mil vapor barrier even though I have closed cell in the bays? Good video!

Hi, closed cell is all the vapor barrier you will need. No plastic is needed with 2"+ of closed cell.

I love spray foam for a lot of applications, however in my area, I see a lot of questionable jobs. So I doubt I would pay to have it installed in a personal home. As an HVAC technician, I see a lot of jobs. Some attics feel more humid then others, smell like chemicals or the thickness of the application is not consistent. Open cell is what I mostly see being installed. I am in North Louisiana.

Hi Dale, If you enter an attic with a strong odor please advise your client to have an indoor air quality test done. These chemicals can lead to long term issues if not treated and/or addressed. Best, Frank

Is there non toxic spray foam.....like soybean/castor oil based foam.....is it safe. My concern is that saw CBC news/marketplace, some house were sprayed and it became toxic because part of the ingredient was made out of formaldehyde

My understanding is that happens when the two compenents aren't combined in the correct ratio. Someone I know used soy spray foam and mice ate their way through the walls.

Apply a backer like sheet rock ect. This is for best practice. Poly can be installed and sprayed against if you don't mind large ripples in the foam.

If you are spraying rafters and want to maintain an air gap beneath the roof sheathing so the roof can breathe, do you use those foam rafter vent chutes, or is there a more appropriate product for use with foam?
@ConcordCarpenter

dtemp132 the foam will crush the styrofoam “proper-vent” baffles. While not needed if you wanted to do this it’s Best to use wood spacers and plywood to create an air gap.

I used to do spray foam, thank you for being knowledgeable enough to know that question, To me an air gap is best practice, however, concord is right and wrong, some of the vents will holdup, some wont. It would take alot more time but you can attach a furring strip to each side of the rafters and run some type of sheet good. But you can find a rigid vent.

I really want to get a good air and water seal, and closed cell spray seems logical. But, how to do you make sure it doesn't shrink? I see pictures and videos of gaps forming between the stud and the foam. Thanks!

Great video I am getting my rafters spayed soon. The contractor offered a hybrid approach. Closed cell under open. Thoughts on this method? I am in the NE as well zone 5. They recommend an r38 for rafters and r21 for the gable ends. Is this enough? Option 1 is 2 inch closed with 6 inch of open and 3 inch closed on gable. Option 2 5.5 inch closed on rafters with 3 on gable.

I want it to be moisture barrier to minimize condensation on the inside of the metal exterior walls and ceiling. I want it to “glue” everything together to minimize rattles and noise.

Its an amazing product when done right. In my home we cut our energy consumption by more then 50%. But I understand your fears. In every trade we have folks who don't do a good job that can lead to many issues. The reason for this video is to help folks weed out the potential bad installers or untrained folks. And to give homeowners and contractors tips for how to spot potential issues.
