Attic Spray Foam Insulation in Bexley, OH

In Bexley, Attic Spray Foam Insulation works hardest in older homes with settled cellulose or empty attics, and in homes with HVAC equipment in the attic where roof-deck foam converts the attic to a conditioned space. The install is closed-cell at the roof deck (R-7 per inch) or open-cell at the attic floor (R-3.7 per inch), applied to the attic plane, sealing the largest single thermal surface in most homes.

Bexley was built out mostly between 1908 and 1940 with large Tudor Revival, Colonial Revival, and American Foursquare houses along Main Street and Broad Street, on lath and plaster walls with full basements and steep original rafter attics. Wall cavities behind that original plaster are frequently empty, and the closed attic construction on many of the largest homes limits blown-in access from above. A drill-and-fill retrofit through the exterior siding is the common approach that avoids disturbing the original plaster. Bexley's eastern edge runs along Alum Creek on the flat glacial till plain typical of Franklin County, without the ravine lots found along the Olentangy corridor to the north. That housing profile shapes our typical scope for attic spray foam insulation in Bexley. We typically spray roof-deck closed-cell to create a conditioned attic in homes with cathedral or steep-pitch roof framing and frequently attic-mounted HVAC.

Franklin County attic conditions track Columbus's own housing range: Bexley, Clintonville, and Grandview Heights' pre-war streetcar-suburb bungalows and foursquares often have thin original attic insulation, Whitehall's postwar ranches typically carry settled fiberglass batts, and Blacklick's post-1995 subdivision stock usually already meets a code-era baseline. All three need to reach the Climate Zone 5A retrofit target of R-49 (R-60 for additions), the same numeric target as the Cincinnati market but driven by a longer heating season.

IECC Climate Zone 5A target is R-49 attic minimum for retrofit (R-60 for new construction and major additions). Closed-cell at 7-8 inches or open-cell at 13-14 inches hits R-49. Permitting in Bexley routes through the local OH building department, and Climate Zone 5A R-value targets apply across the entire Columbus metro.
