One example where it would be appropriate to use open cell spray foam is when you need to run new wiring. This is a good choice because open cell spray foam is much easier to work with because it is so pliable. One of the biggest benefits of using open cell foam is that it expands so much after it has been applied that it can insulate hard to reach nooks and crannies in a home or commercial property. These types of areas can be difficult to insulate with closed cell foam.

There are a number of additional advantages to using open cell spray foam insulation, including:

·      Light weight

·      Sound proofing qualities (ideal for media or theatre rooms)

·      High absorbency

·      Allows for bi-directional drying

·      Can accommodate long-term creep and seasonal movement

·      Can be installed at lower cost

·      Is not considered food source for mold

·      Less expensive

·      Uses less resources

·      Can accommodate a building expanding and contracting due to             temperature differentials, moisture content, wind load, and seismic           activity

There are also a number of disadvantages to using open cell spray foam insulation, including:

·      Low compressive strength

·      Less useful in cold climates where heating is required

·      Cannot block air movement

·      Cannot prevent water vapor from entering the wall cavity

One way that open cell spray foam differs from closed cell is that it needs to be trimmed. Trimming the foam is necessary in order to obtain a smooth and consistent surface and finish.
