Best Spray Foam Insulation for Attics

Most attic spray foam jobs use open cell at the roof deck. Here's why — and the cases where closed cell is the right call.

Roof Deck vs Attic Floor

Spraying the underside of the roof deck creates a conditioned attic — best for homes with HVAC or ductwork in the attic. Spraying the attic floor keeps the attic vented and is cheaper for homes with no equipment up there.

Open Cell at the Deck

Open cell at 5-7 inches gives you R-19 to R-26 with full air sealing. It's the most cost-effective conditioned-attic system.

When Closed Cell Wins

Low-slope roofs, hurricane-prone areas (rare here), and homes where you want maximum R-value in minimum thickness.
