Message: [QUOTE="Hoophound, post: 2915528, member: 271"] Closed cell spray foam really reduces drafts, improves structural integrity and has the best R-Value. However, I think you stated your house is very small. If so, calculate if you will reap the benefits of foam. In building, things tend to get cheaper as the house gets bigger. Meaning, if your house is 800 sq ft, you’ll often pay much more per square foot for insulation and other materials than the guy with 4000 square feet. Be sure to find a good price per square foot and avoid/minimize any sort of “minimum” charge or a charge for showing up with the truck. Foam is unquestionably better, but make sure it is worth it. Also, be sure all your roofing and plywood decking are in good shape and won’t need replacing any time soon so that the insulation job doesn’t have to be disturbed for years. [/QUOTE]
