I have an old home and I want to insulate the cellar ceiling. I am thinking the easiest way would be to have it spray foamed. What happens to all the electrical wires that. Will become buried underneath it when done? Is there an issue here or not?
Closed cell is simply the best bang for the buck. It has a higher R value per inch than closed cell. The statement about causing a roof to rot is misleading, they obviously had a faulty roof system for it to leak in the first place. Closed cell also adds structural rigidity. Just my .02, it's one of those products that just keeps paying you back year after year.
ETA; I have been a builder for 40 years, I consider myself a professional.
I had this done...the foam that was used was known to shrink 2% as it cured...I thought 2% is nothing, wrong. Do the math, 2% on a 16" stud cavity leaves a pretty good gap...so much for air sealing! Wish I had used this instead http://r.search.yahoo.com/_ylt=A0LE...ete.com//RK=0/RS=gbj2SsXXhxY1Sz0yy2RlACBhPn4-walls---- there are systems that do injection foam by cutting holes in the top of walls and then spraying inside
