Everything You Need to Know About Spray Foam, Insulation, and Energy Savings in Texas
At Apex Foam Solutions, we believe an informed homeowner is a confident homeowner.
Here are answers to the most common questions our customers ask before, during, and after their insulation projects.
Open-cell foam is softer and more flexible, great for attics, walls, and soundproofing.
Closed-cell foam is denser and water-resistant ideal for roofs, crawl spaces, and metal buildings.
We’ll recommend the best type based on your structure and budget.
• Open-cell: typically 5.5–6 inches in attics or roof decks (R-20+).
• Closed-cell: around 2–4 inches (R-14 to R-21).
Exact thickness depends on your energy goals and local building codes.
We recommend removing old insulation first, especially if it’s dirty, moldy, or compressed.
Spray foam needs a clean surface to properly bond and seal air gaps.
Yes — once cured, spray foam is completely safe and non-toxic.
Our technicians follow strict ventilation and PPE guidelines during application to protect your home and air quality.

Proper attic ventilation:
• Reduces heat buildup in summer
• Prevents moisture and mold
• Extends roof life

Solar / electric fans , whirlybirds and soffit systems to improve airflow.
In some cases, yes.
For example, you can use spray foam on walls for air sealing and blown-in fiberglass in attic floors for extra R-value.
We’ll recommend the best hybrid system for your home.
Closed Cell Spray foam acts as an air and vapor barrier, sealing gaps that let in humid air or water vapor protecting against mold, mildew, and energy loss.
It’s a protective coating applied over spray foam in certain areas (like attics or crawl spaces, commercial buildings) to meet fire safety codes.
We use approved materials such as DC315 to ensure full compliance.
No — if installed correctly with proper ventilation, spray foam creates a controlled environment that improves air quality and efficiency, not a “trapped” space.
