When property owners face high energy bills and uneven temperatures, finding a lasting spray foam solution is essential. Proseal Spray Foam provides premium closed-cell spray foam insulation that delivers superior air sealing and thermal performance throughout Waupaca, WI, and neighboring communities. We help residential and commercial clients achieve significant efficiency improvements, ensuring maximum comfort and protection against the harsh Wisconsin climate.
Closed cell spray foam insulation is a highly effective, dense solution applied directly to surfaces where traditional batting cannot reach or perform reliably. This process involves mixing two liquid components on-site, which react rapidly upon application, expanding to create a hard, rigid foam that conforms exactly to the contours of the space. Because this material cures quickly and forms a solid mass, it stabilizes structures and provides immediate resistance against air and moisture infiltration.
The installation requires specialized equipment and technical training to ensure proper mixing ratios and consistent application thickness across large surfaces. Proper installation minimizes thermal bridging and creates a continuous layer of insulation, significantly reducing energy waste in heating and cooling cycles. Choosing a focused closed-cell foam insulation installer ensures that your investment yields maximum return through long-term performance and durability.
The primary benefit of closed-cell foam is its ability to serve as both an air barrier and a vapor retarder simultaneously, a capability few other insulation types possess. By effectively blocking air movement, this foam eliminates drafts and prevents conditioned air from escaping, which is often the largest source of utility inefficiency in older buildings. This superior air seal keeps the indoor environment stable, reducing the workload on furnaces and air conditioning units year-round.
Beyond thermal barrier resistance, closed cell foam adds tangible structural stability to walls, ceilings, and roofs once it cures. Its density helps strengthen building envelopes, making it especially valuable for metal buildings and agricultural structures like pole barns. This durability means the insulation will not settle, degrade, or lose R-value over time, providing consistent efficiency and peace of mind for decades.
Feature | Closed Cell Spray Foam | Traditional Insulation (Fiberglass) |
Air Sealing | Excellent (Complete Air Barrier) | Poor (Requires separate vapor barrier) |
Vapor Resistance | High (Serves as a retarder) | Low |
R-Value per Inch | High (R-6.0 to R-7.0+) | Moderate (R-3.0 to R-4.0) |
Moisture Absorption | Minimal | High (Degrades performance) |
Structural Support | Adds rigidity and strength | None |
While closed cell foams are typically known for being rigid and highly dense, Proseal Spray Foam utilizes specialized formulations tailored for specific environmental and structural requirements. Our blends are engineered to be slightly Softer than maximum density foams, which helps manage material expansion stresses in larger or older building assemblies. We ensure the material achieves a high R-value, delivering maximum thermal protection in a compact layer without compromising the integrity of the surrounding structure.
We also offer material variants that are intentionally engineered to be vapor-permeable, striking a balance between air blockage and moisture management crucial for specific building science needs. Furthermore, the material we install possesses inherent sound-dampening qualities, effectively absorbing and minimizing noise transmission. This makes it an excellent choice for properties near busy roads or commercial operations where noise reduction is a secondary yet important goal.
As a specialized closed cell spray foam contractor, Proseal Spray Foam understands that every project requires a unique approach, whether insulating a large agricultural facility or a small residential basement. We thoroughly assess the environment, paying close attention to factors like moisture exposure, temperature fluctuations, and existing structural components before determining the best plan of action. This ensures the chosen application method maximizes the foam's insulating potential.
Our focus on precision and quality control throughout the application process guarantees that the closed cell foam adheres correctly and achieves its full R-value potential. We work efficiently to minimize disruption, especially in commercial or active agricultural settings, delivering a permanent insulation solution that will perform reliably for the life of the structure.
Closed cell spray foam is exceptionally versatile, offering superior performance in challenging environments where other materials fail due to moisture, pests, or structural movement. Its high density makes it the ideal choice for exposed areas requiring resilience and strength, such as agricultural facilities or industrial structures that experience high wear and tear.
The material’s ability to adhere to almost any surface ensures complete coverage, sealing off areas that are difficult to insulate with batting or board materials. From expansive commercial structures to critical residential zones like basements and exterior walls, we bring comprehensive closed cell solutions tailored to protect every type of property.
Common applications:
Polyurethane foam types:
Waupaca experiences significant temperature swings, especially during the long, frigid winters, requiring insulation that withstands extreme cold and high heating demands. Closed-cell spray foam is particularly valuable here because its dense structure creates a strong thermal envelope, preventing rapid heat loss and stopping condensation before it can compromise the building materials. This is key to maintaining stable indoor temperatures when the outdoor air drops far below freezing.
Furthermore, the area’s weather often brings periods of high humidity and freeze-thaw cycles, which can quickly degrade traditional porous insulation materials. By installing closed cell foam, we provide properties in Waupaca and surrounding areas with a robust barrier that resists moisture ingress, protecting the building shell from water damage and inhibiting potential mold growth that thrives in damp, poorly ventilated wall cavities.

When installed correctly, closed cell spray foam is a permanent application designed to last for the lifetime of the structure itself without settling or sagging.
No, once the foam is cured, it requires virtually no maintenance and continues to perform effectively as long as the application remains undisturbed.
Yes, after the curing process is complete, the foam is inert and stable, posing no off-gassing issues or health risks.
Yes, specialized heating equipment is used during application to ensure the chemicals are at the correct temperature for optimal mixing and expansion, allowing for year-round installation.
