Closed cell would typically be best for your basement as it provides more moisture resistance.

Another question: Can the foam be sprayed into the wall cavities with some sort of re-usable forms pressed over or temporary screwed to the studs to force the foam to expand flat and even with the framing faces – requiring minimal trimming afterward? A little more thought up front could save what looks to be many hours of labor and cleanup afterward. And what of the chaff that is produced in trimming? Does it have to be disposed of in any special way?

Why is the trimmer-planer mechanic not wearing protective mask or glasses in the video?

Would you recommend closed cell or open cell spray foam insulation for a basement? I live in Florida.

Took a while to get through, but a really good read. I hear a lot of surface talk about the R-value myths and all that, but this really covered it all in detail.

You should never NEVER insulate the space between brick veneer and wood sheeting. Moisture can build up and corrosion occurs. The damage that can be caused far out-way the supposed benefits!!!

Comment on Spray Foam Kits are a popular choice for improved energy efficiency by Drew

Looks like a great kit for small projects. As far as the foam paying for itself in five years or less, that’s if you get it professionally done. If you buy the Spray Foam Nation kit, the investment will probably pay for itself in less than a year. Habitat for Humanity ran an experiment with two homes that they built, one with fiberglass, and one with spray foam insulation. The spray foam house paid $500 less in electric bills in just five months. So yeah, the kit seems like a great investment for do it yourselfers.
