Spray foam insulation is the gold standard for sealing Oklahoma homes against the state's brutal temperature swings. Unlike fiberglass batts or blown-in cellulose, spray foam expands on contact to fill every gap, crack, and corner — creating a single continuous barrier against air, moisture, and heat in one application. For Premier Insulation customers across Edmond, Oklahoma City, Norman, and the entire OKC metro, that means lower energy bills, more even room temperatures, and a quieter, healthier home year-round. We've been installing spray foam since 2006, in everything from new construction to attic retrofits, metal buildings, pole barns, and commercial shops.

Oklahoma's climate is uniquely demanding — 100°F summers, sub-freezing winters, and the constant threat of wind-driven moisture. Traditional insulation methods leave gaps where air leaks rob you of conditioned air all day long. Spray foam seals those leaks at the source. The result: homes that hold their temperature, HVAC systems that don't have to work as hard, and energy bills that drop noticeably the very first month after installation.

Why Choose Spray Foam Insulation?

  • •Lower energy bills — most homeowners see 20-40% reduction within the first billing cycle
  • •Longer HVAC system life — less run time means less wear on your unit
  • •Cleaner indoor air — seals out dust, pollen, and outdoor pollutants
  • •Equalized room temperatures — no more hot upstairs or cold rooms
  • •Cooler attics — drops attic temperatures by 30-50°F in summer
  • •Lower carbon footprint — reduces overall energy consumption
  • •Higher home value and potential insurance discounts

Open and Closed Cell Insulation

Open Cell Spray Foam

Open cell is what we install on virtually every residential job and most commercial metal buildings — attic roofs, exterior walls, interior walls, and crawlspaces. It's a semi-rigid, half-pound density polyurethane foam that expands 100x its liquid volume within seconds, sealing every crack and air leak in the space. Excellent thermal performance, impressive sound deadening (many customers choose it specifically for the quieter home it creates), and significantly more affordable per square foot than closed cell. R-value: about R-3.6 per inch.

Closed Cell Spray Foam

Closed cell is a high-density, two-pound polyurethane foam that expands 15-30x its liquid volume. It's physically tougher than open cell — you can lean into it without denting it, which makes it the right choice for exposed shop walls where the foam itself is the finished surface. We use it for specific applications: metal buildings and pole barns where the foam will stay exposed, commercial freezer and refrigerator installations, stem walls, and underslab ductwork. We normally do not use closed cell in residential homes — open cell is a better fit for every typical home application. R-value: about R-7 per inch.

Where We Install Spray Foam

Attics & Roof Decks

Spraying open cell on the underside of your roof deck (instead of the attic floor) creates a conditioned attic — your HVAC equipment lives in a temperate space, your ductwork stops leaking conditioned air into a 140°F attic, and your living space stays comfortable. The single highest-impact use of spray foam in most Oklahoma homes.

Exterior & Interior Walls

Open cell in the wall cavity blocks air infiltration and quiets the home. Common in new construction throughout Edmond and Norman, and in major remodels where the walls are open. Closed cell isn't necessary or worth the cost premium for residential walls.

Crawlspaces

Sealing a crawlspace from beneath the floor stops cold floors in winter and blocks musty crawlspace air from rising into the home. We use open cell here for the same reasons we use it elsewhere in homes — performs great and costs less.

Add-Ons, Bonus Rooms & Garages

Bonus rooms over garages and finished spaces above unconditioned areas are notoriously hard to keep comfortable. Spray foam fixes the underlying air-leak problem that fiberglass batts can't address.

Metal Buildings & Pole Barns

We use open cell on most metal building jobs — it performs well, costs less, and many customers sheath the lower 8 feet of their interior walls with OSB anyway, which protects the foam from contact damage. We'll recommend closed cell only when the walls won't be covered AND the customer specifically wants the added durability of an exposed-foam finish that won't dent if you bump into it. Either way, the foam blocks summer heat and turns a workshop or barn into a usable space year-round.

Commercial Freezer & Refrigerator Spaces

Walk-in coolers, freezer rooms, and refrigerated commercial spaces use closed cell for its higher R-value-per-inch — letting you hit a high R rating in a shallower wall cavity matters a lot when you're trying to maximize usable interior space.

Stem Walls

Closed cell on stem walls — the below-grade portion of a foundation — blocks the thermal bridge between the ground and the building. One of the few places closed cell is the clear right answer.

Underslab Ductwork

Closed cell sprayed on ductwork that runs below the slab keeps conditioned air at temperature on its way to the registers and resists ground moisture contact better than open cell would in that environment.

What to Expect on Install Day

  1. 1

    Pre-installation walkthrough

    Our crew arrives, walks the space with you, and confirms the scope — what's getting sprayed, where the materials need protection, and any concerns you want addressed.

  2. 2

    Prep & masking

    We mask off windows, doors, electrical, and any surfaces that shouldn't be sprayed. Floors get protected. The HVAC may be temporarily shut off depending on the work area.

  3. 3

    Application

    Spray foam is applied in lifts (multiple thin passes) to ensure full expansion and proper curing. Most residential jobs are complete in a single day; larger commercial work may take longer.

  4. 4

    Trim & cleanup

    Once cured (about 60 seconds for the foam itself, but we wait longer for full set), we trim any over-expansion, clean the work area, and remove all masking. We leave your space cleaner than we found it.

  5. 5

    Walkthrough & sign-off

    Final walkthrough with you to confirm coverage, answer any questions, and document the job. Most customers feel the temperature difference within hours of completion.

Common Questions

How long does spray foam last?+
Properly installed spray foam is designed to last the lifetime of the building — 80+ years. Unlike fiberglass, it doesn't sag, settle, or lose R-value over time.
Is spray foam worth it in Oklahoma?+
Absolutely. Oklahoma's extreme summer heat and winter cold are exactly the conditions where spray foam pays for itself fastest. Most customers see payback in 4-7 years from energy savings alone, then continue saving for decades.
If spray foam and fiberglass are the same R-value, do they perform the same?+
No — and this is one of the most important things to understand when comparing materials. R-value only measures resistance to conductive heat flow. It does NOT measure heat lost to AIR LEAKAGE through gaps, around penetrations, or through the material itself. In a typical Oklahoma home, air infiltration accounts for 25-40% of total heating and cooling loss. Spray foam expands on contact and seals every crack and gap as it cures — it acts as both insulation AND an air barrier. Fiberglass insulates against conductive heat but does not stop air movement. Practical result: in many homes, spray foam at the same R-value as fiberglass delivers roughly twice the real-world performance, simply because the foam is doing two jobs and the fiberglass is only doing one. See our R-value page for more on the air-infiltration gap.
Open cell or closed cell — which do I need?+
For homes, we recommend open cell across the board — attics, walls, crawlspaces, all of it. We also use open cell on most commercial metal buildings, since most customers sheath the lower portion of their walls with OSB anyway. Closed cell is a specialized product we reserve for stem walls, underslab ductwork, commercial freezer/refrigerator spaces, and metal buildings where the foam will stay fully exposed and the customer wants the added durability.
I have a metal building — don't I need closed cell?+
Almost never — and this is one of the most common (and expensive) misconceptions in the metal-building space. Closed cell has four real advantages over open cell: condensation control, vapor barrier, structural rigidity, and contact durability. On a typical metal building, open cell matches the first three at under half the cost — it handles condensation on metal just as well, has comparable vapor performance for the application, and far outperforms closed cell on sound dampening (which matters more than people expect in an echo-prone shop). The only category where closed cell genuinely wins is contact durability — meaning the foam stays exposed as the finished interior surface and won't dent if you lean a ladder into it. The practical fix: most of our commercial metal-building customers sheath the lower 8 feet of interior walls with OSB. That protects the open cell foam from contact damage AND gives you a workshop-friendly surface for hanging shelves, workbenches, and tool hooks. The cost savings from going open cell instead of closed cell more than pays for the OSB. The strongest proof isn't a spreadsheet, though — it's that we have repeat commercial clients who exclusively used closed cell across multiple buildings for years. We did one open cell job for them, and they haven't gone back. Contractors and shop owners who've actually used both, side by side, on the same kind of building, are the ones who keep choosing the one that performs better and is more affordable at the same time. That's experience talking, not a sales pitch.
Will my house smell after installation?+
Properly installed and fully cured spray foam is odorless within 24 hours. We use high-quality materials that meet all current safety standards, and our crew follows manufacturer cure-time recommendations on every job.
Do you offer free estimates?+
Yes — every estimate is free, written, and includes a clear explanation of what we'd recommend and why. Call (405) 659-1046 or fill out our contact form to schedule one.
