Closed Cell Spray Foam: Denver's Super Shield Against Cold!
Why Denver Homes LOVE Closed Cell Spray Foam
Living in Denver means dealing with some pretty wild weather! One day it's sunny and warm, and the next day—SNOW! Closed cell spray foam is perfect for our crazy Colorado weather because it's super strong and super good at keeping your home comfy.
Super Power #1: Amazing R-Value!
R-value is just a fancy way of saying "how good something is at blocking heat." Closed cell spray foam has an R-value of about 6.5 per inch! That's almost TWICE as good as open cell foam!
In Denver's cold winters, this means your home stays warmer with less thickness in your walls. When it's 10 degrees outside and the mountains are covered in snow, your home stays toasty without your heater working overtime!
Super Power #2: Water Can't Get Through!
Unlike open cell foam, closed cell spray foam is like a rain jacket for your house. Water can't sneak through it! This is super important in Denver when snow melts on your roof or when spring rains come.
Super Power #3: Makes Your House Stronger!
Did you know closed cell spray foam actually makes your walls stronger? It's true! When it hardens, it sticks to everything and makes your whole house tougher. This is great for those windy Denver days when it feels like your house might blow away!
How Much Does It Cost in Denver?
Let's talk about money! Closed cell spray foam costs more than other types of insulation, but it also works WAY better!
In Denver, you can expect to pay about:
$3 to $5 per square foot for closed cell spray foam
This is about 2-3 times more than open cell spray foam
But it works twice as good, so many Denver families think it's worth it!
For a normal Denver home, you might spend between $8,000 to $12,000 to do your whole house. That sounds like a lot, but guess what? Many Denver families save up to 50% on their heating bills! That means the foam can pay for itself in about 5-7 years.
Plus, Xcel Energy (our Denver power company) sometimes gives money back when you add good insulation like this!

When Might Closed Cell NOT Be the Best Choice?
Even superheroes have weaknesses! Here are some times when closed cell might not be your best friend:
1: If you're on a super tight budget (it costs more up front)
2: If you need to insulate a huge space and don't need water protection
3: If you want to do it yourself (closed cell needs professional equipment and experts who know what they're doing!)
Where Should I put Closed Cell Foam
Closed cell spray foam works great in:
- Attics (keeps that cold mountain air from freezing your ceiling!)
- Basement walls (no more chilly basements!)
- Crawl spaces (bye-bye cold floors!)
- Rim joists (those spots where your house sits on your foundation)
- Outside walls (especially important in older Denver homes!)
Fun Facts About Closed Cell Foam in Denver!
💡 Did you know? Denver's high altitude means our air is thinner, and heat escapes more easily from poorly insulated homes!
💡 Wow! Closed cell spray foam can last for 80+ years! That's probably longer than you'll live in your house!
💡 Amazing! Many Denver homes built before 1980 have almost NO insulation in some walls! Closed cell foam can fix that!
