Closed Cell Spray Foam

Closed Cell Spray FoamInsulation in Minnesota

Trust Works installs closed-cell spray foam for the parts of your home that demand the most from insulation. The highest R-value per inch, a built-in vapor retarder, and a rigid air seal for rim joists, crawl spaces, and basements. Fully insured, with 20+ years of experience.

What It Is

Dense, rigid, and built for our climate.

Closed-cell spray foam is a high-density insulation that cures into a hard, rigid layer. Its cells are closed and packed tightly together, which is what gives it a high R-value per inch, structural strength, and resistance to both air and moisture. When performance matters most and space is tight, closed-cell foam is the material that does the most work in the least thickness.

For Minnesota homes, that combination is hard to beat. Closed-cell foam air-seals, insulates, and controls moisture in a single application, which is exactly what our long, cold, damp winters demand from the parts of a house that take the most abuse.

Why It Performs

Four jobs, one material.

Highest R-Value Per Inch

Roughly R-6 to R-7 per inch

Delivers more insulation in a shallow cavity than any other option
Ideal for rim joists, basement walls, and tight framing
Lets you hit code R-values where there simply is not room for batts

Built-In Vapor Retarder

Controls moisture as it insulates

Blocks the warm, moist indoor air that causes condensation
Protects framing and concrete from frost and dampness
The right choice for below-grade and rim joist applications

Rigid Air Seal

Stops the leaks batts lay over

Expands to fill gaps, then cures hard and stays put
Will not sag, settle, or fall out over time
Seals and insulates the assembly in a single pass

Adds Strength

Reinforces the assembly

Bonds to framing and sheathing to stiffen walls
Resists water intrusion in flood-prone areas
Durable and long-lasting once cured
Where We Use It

The right place for closed-cell foam.

Closed-cell foam earns its keep in the parts of the house that face the most moisture and the least room to insulate. That means rim joists, crawl spaces, basement and foundation walls, and any assembly where a vapor retarder and a high R-value in a shallow depth are worth the investment.

It is a premium material and it costs more per board foot than open-cell foam, so we recommend it where its strengths actually matter rather than everywhere by default. If your project is more about sealing large interior areas or controlling sound, open-cell foam is often the smarter spend, and we will tell you so.

Rim joists and band joists where air leakage and condensation are worst
Crawl spaces and basement walls that need moisture control
Below-grade and foundation walls in our freeze-thaw climate
Metal buildings and other assemblies prone to condensation
How It Works

Our closed-cell process.

STEP 01

Assess

We evaluate the space, the moisture conditions, and the cavity depth to confirm closed-cell foam is the right call and spec the thickness.

STEP 02

Prep & Protect

We clear the cavities, remove old insulation if needed, and mask off the surrounding area to keep the work clean.

STEP 03

Spray to Thickness

We apply closed-cell foam in controlled lifts to the specified thickness, air-sealing and insulating in one pass.

STEP 04

Inspect & Clean Up

We verify coverage and thickness, trim where needed, and leave the space clean.

Common Questions

Frequently asked questions.

Closed-cell spray foam is a high-density insulation that cures into a rigid layer. Its tightly packed, closed cells give it the highest R-value per inch of any common insulation, along with a built-in vapor retarder and a strong air seal. It insulates, air-seals, and controls moisture all at once, which makes it a strong fit for Minnesota's climate.
