  • How Does Spray Foam Compare With Fiberglass Batts?

    Unlike spray foam insulation, fiberglass batts will not stop air leakage. Fiberglass batts have an R-value of about 3.5 per inch but are not installed with an air-tight seal. These batts can sag over time and cause inefficiencies in your insulation.


    Spray foam insulation completely adheres to the wood studs and sheathing of your home. This results in a permanently sealed barrier against air penetration and leakage. For the experts on insulation in Rapid City, SD, contact our team today.

  • What Is the R-value (Insulation Value) of SPF Insulation?

    Elite Spray Foam Solutions LLC offers some different options for spray foam insulation in Rapid City, SD. Our open-cell foam averages a total R-value of 12. If the house is constructed with 2x6 studs, the R-value of open-cell foam can reach up to R-20.


    Our closed-cell spray foam has an R-value between 14 and 21. Spray foam is the only insulation product that offers a true R-value because it is the only insulation that creates an actual air seal. According to the EPA, sealing air leaks saves homeowners up to 20% on their energy bills.

  • Which Is Better for My Property: Open-Cell or Closed-Cell Foam?

    As the spray foam insulation contractor Rapid City, SD relies on, we recommend closed-cell foam due to its higher R-value per inch, the strength it adds to the structure, and its effectiveness as a barrier against moisture. While it is slightly more expensive, many owners and contractors find the value is greater than the cost. However, if your project has a limited budget, open-cell foam is a great choice.

  • How Does Spray Foam Insulation Improve Indoor Air Quality and Comfort?

    Spray foam insulation creates a sealed thermal envelope. When applied, the insulation conforms and fills each cavity, crack, and void. By filling these voids, you seal the house against wind, dust, moisture, pollen, spores, insects, mold, and allergens. Our spray foam insulation in Rapid City, SD gives you a healthier, quieter, draft-free indoor environment free from harmful allergens that impact your health.

  • How Is the Spray Foam Insulation Installed?

    Spray foam insulation is sprayed into the wall cavity between its wooden studs with specialized equipment. The foam is sprayed as a liquid and, based on our experience, will harden within 2 to 10 seconds to its foam state and expand up to 100 times its original size. The foam fills every nook and cranny, sealing all gaps and permanently adhering to the stud cavity. If you need spray foam insulation in Rapid City, SD, contact our team today.

  • How Does Spray Foam Insulation Control Moisture Movement and Condensation?

    Most moisture damage in a building occurs when warm, moist indoor air is exchanged with the cold, dry air within an insulation cavity. As the moisture in the air condenses, it forms dew within the insulation and allows mold to grow. Because our foam insulation in Rapid City, SD is installed to be airtight, the air will never interact and no dew will form.

  • Does Spray Foam Insulation Support Bacteria, Mold, or Fungal Growth?

    No, our spray foam insulation in Rapid City, SD is an inert substance. Therefore, it does not support bacteria, mold, or fungal growth.

  • Does Foam Insulation Cause Any Issues With Electrical Wiring or Metal Surfaces?

    No, our spray foam insulation has been thoroughly tested and is not a concern to electrical authorities, nor is it corrosive to metals. When you choose the expert spray foam insulation contractor Rapid City, SD relies on, you can rest assured your home will be safe.
