• It seems quite a few readers have questions about the difference between open cell and closed cell foam insulation .Understanding the difference between open cell and closed cell foam insulation is the most important step in determining which product is best for your next insulation project. (homeconstructionimprovement.com)
  • Closed Cell Foam Insulation is non-porous with all of the voids closed to each other which makes it difficult for water vapor and air to pass through it. (homeconstructionimprovement.com)
  • If your insulation application needs a vapor barrier then you MUST select closed cell foam insulation. (homeconstructionimprovement.com)
  • The other major difference between open cell and closed cell foam insulation is the density of the in-place foam. (homeconstructionimprovement.com)
  • The final issue when discussing the differences between open cell and closed cell foam insulation is the insulating value or R value per inch of insulation. (homeconstructionimprovement.com)
  • Open cell foam insulation typically has average R values of about 3.5 per inch while closed cell foam insulation has average R values of about 6.5. (homeconstructionimprovement.com)
  • So you can see closed cell foam insulation can be almost twice the insulating values per inch. (homeconstructionimprovement.com)

  • VENTUS are aerated and thermally insulated roof panels in Twinpor Polystirene (EPS) for the creation of thermally insulated roofing packages with draining grooves for condensation droplets and a ventilation chamber to be applied to new structures and renovations. (pontarolo.com)
  • The insulated roof panels can be manufactured with a ventilated cavity and an OSB panel to sustain the waterproofing and finishing, or without ventilation in order to cast concrete on top. (pontarolo.com)
  • If you choose to create a ventilated roof, the grooves, positioned in the direction of maximum slope, have the important purpose of collecting and conveying out any condensation droplets formed in the ventilation chamber. (pontarolo.com)
  • The roof insulation panels also present a grooved surface that increase the mechanical bonding with concrete or can host the elements to support ventilation working also as channels to remove condensation droplets from the roof. (pontarolo.com)
  • This configuration provides an excellent thermal insulation during cold days and an optimal ventilation and cooling during hot summer days. (pontarolo.com)
