Is noise between rooms a bigger annoyance than your heating bill? Open-cell foam handles both.

Open-cell foam expands lighter and costs less per board foot than closed-cell. That makes it a common choice for interior wall cavities and conditioned attics in newer builds. Middleton Spray Foam Insulation applies it where expansion fill and sound dampening matter more than a dense moisture barrier.

What's included

What's Included with Open-Cell Spray Foam Insulation

  • Full cavity fill — open-cell foam expands to fill interior wall or ceiling cavities completely.
  • Sound dampening — the foam's cellular structure absorbs sound between rooms.
  • Trim and finish — excess foam is trimmed flush to framing for a clean finish behind drywall.
  • Optional — low-VOC formula for homeowners with sensitivity concerns.
  • Customer prep — clear the work area and remove any stored items from the space being foamed.

Cost

Open-Cell Spray Foam Insulation Cost

Open-cell foam costs less per board foot than closed-cell because it uses less material to expand and fill a cavity. Square footage and the number of wall or ceiling zones drive the total. These ranges are starting points. A free estimate gives you the exact figure for your project.

Project typeTypical rangeWhat’s included
Interior wall cavities$1.00–$1.50per board foot, standard room-to-room insulation.
Conditioned attic coverage$3,000–$7,000,full roof deck application for a typical attic size.
Sound dampening walls$500–$1,500per room, acoustic-focused application.
New construction package$2,500–$6,000,open-cell applied across multiple interior wall zones.

These are typical local ballparks — final cost depends on scope, materials, and site conditions. A free estimate gives you an accurate, itemized number for your home.

FAQs

Open-Cell Spray Foam Insulation FAQs

Is open-cell or closed-cell better for cold winters and hot summers?

Open-cell works well for interior walls where temperature swing is less extreme. Closed-cell is the better call for exterior-facing spaces like rim joists or roof decks.

Why does open-cell cost less per board foot?

It expands further per unit of material, so you need less foam to fill the same cavity compared to denser closed-cell foam.

Can open-cell foam help with sound between rooms?

Yes. Its open cellular structure absorbs sound better than batts or closed-cell foam, which is why it's common in shared walls and home offices.

Is open-cell foam moisture resistant?

Less than closed-cell. It's not the right choice for below-grade or high-moisture areas like crawlspaces.

Can I apply open-cell foam myself?

Full cavity coverage needs spray equipment and expansion control that DIY kits don't offer. Small gap fills with canned foam are fine, whole walls are not.
