Closed-cell foam is a dense, rigid material known for its high insulation value and moisture resistance. While it provides excellent thermal protection and structural integrity, it can trap moisture if not properly installed. Over time, trapped moisture can lead to rotting timber, mould growth, and the weakening of your home’s structure.

Closed-cell foam is difficult to remove because of its rigidity and strong bond to surfaces. The removal process requires specialized equipment and expertise to safely extract it without causing further damage to your property.

Open-cell foam is softer and more flexible, providing a lighter, less dense insulation solution. It’s excellent for reducing sound and is often used in interior walls. However, its porous nature makes it highly susceptible to moisture absorption. This can lead to water damage, mould growth, and a decrease in the foam's effectiveness over time.

While open-cell foam is easier to remove than closed-cell foam, it still requires professional expertise to ensure the job is done properly. Improper removal can leave behind residues that compromise your property’s air quality and insulation performance.

Closed-cell foam is dense, rigid, and moisture-resistant, offering excellent insulation and structural support but can trap moisture, leading to long-term damage if improperly installed. It is difficult to remove due to its strong bond to surfaces. Open-cell foam, on the other hand, is softer, more flexible, and ideal for soundproofing, but its porous nature makes it vulnerable to moisture absorption, which can cause water damage and mould growth. While easier to remove than closed-cell foam, open-cell foam still requires professional expertise to ensure proper removal without leaving harmful residues.
