How Much Does Spray Foam Insulation Cost?
The cost of spray foam insulation material varies among manufactures. In general, spray foam insulation materials are sold in 55-gallon drums in two parts: part (A) and part (B). This is typically referred to as “a set of foam” and is sold by the pound in different densities. Common densities are 2 and 3 pound closed cell spray foam insulation and ½ pound open cell spray foam insulation, depending upon the chemical manufacture or suppliers’ pricing, R-values, and expected product yield. R-values can range from 6.5 per 1-inch to 6.8 per square foot, per 1-inch. Product yields are estimated at, or slightly above, 4,000 square foot, if sprayed with a 1-inch thickness. A set (part A & B) of 2-lb close cell spray foam insulation can cost roughly $2,000. Actual prices vary by manufacturer.
