Spray Foam Insulation R-Value Guide
Understanding R-values is essential for proper insulation specification. R-value measures thermal resistance—higher R-values provide better insulation performance. Here's how spray foam compares across different applications and thicknesses.
| Application | Product Type | Thickness | R-Value |
|---|---|---|---|
| Attic Insulation | Open-Cell Spray Foam | 5.5 inches | R-20 |
| Attic Insulation | Closed-Cell Spray Foam | 3 inches | R-20 |
| Basement Walls | Closed-Cell Spray Foam | 2 inches | R-13 |
| Basement Walls | Closed-Cell Spray Foam | 3 inches | R-20 |
| Exterior Walls | Closed-Cell Spray Foam | 2 inches | R-13 |
| Exterior Walls | Open-Cell Spray Foam | 3.5 inches | R-13 |
| Crawl Space | Closed-Cell Spray Foam | 2 inches | R-13 |
| Rim Joists | Closed-Cell Spray Foam | 3 inches | R-20 |
| Commercial Roofs | Closed-Cell Spray Foam | 4 inches | R-28 |
| Cathedral Ceilings | Open-Cell Spray Foam | 7 inches | R-25 |
Note: Open-cell spray foam provides approximately R-3.6 to R-3.8 per inch. Closed-cell spray foam provides approximately R-6 to R-7 per inch. Actual R-values may vary based on product formulation, installation conditions, and temperature. Always consult with certified installers for proper specification based on your specific project requirements and local building codes.
