Closed-Cell Spray Foam in Hilliard
Closed-cell foam delivers R-7 per inch (vs. R-3.5 for fiberglass), is a vapor barrier above 2", adds structural rigidity to walls, and resists water, making it ideal for crawl spaces, rim joists, and any below-grade application. Every install here uses Demilec, Icynene, or BASF products. Hilliard sits within our service area for Greater Columbus and Central Ohio, with same-week scheduling typical for routine jobs.

Closed-Cell Spray Foam for Hilliard's a small historic Main Street core surrounded by extensive post-1985 subdivision growth on Franklin County's west side housing
In Hilliard, Closed-Cell Spray Foam is the right product whenever the surface sits below grade, touches masonry, or needs both R-value and vapor-barrier performance from a single material. The install is high-density (1.75-2.0 lb) closed-cell foam at R-7 per inch with vapor-barrier properties above 2 inches, applied to vapor-critical surfaces: rim joists, crawl-space walls, below-grade walls, and roof decks in conditioned-attic designs.
Hilliard's housing stock is overwhelmingly post-1985 subdivision construction, and the newest of those homes sometimes already have closed-cell foam at the rim joist from the original build. Older Hilliard homes, concentrated in the small historic Main Street core, need fuller attic and wall retrofits to reach the Climate Zone 5A R-49 to R-60 attic target that the newer subdivisions were built closer to already. Whole-home packages are more common on the older stock, while newer subdivision homes typically need only selective attic or rim-joist work. Hilliard sits on the flat glacial till plain west of the Scioto River, with the river's Griggs Reservoir pool a few miles east of the city. That housing profile shapes our typical scope for closed-cell spray foam in Hilliard. We spec closed-cell at the specific vapor-critical surface identified during the assessment, whether that is the rim joist, crawl walls, basement walls, or roof deck in a conditioned-attic design.
Closed-cell foam projects in Franklin County most often target below-grade and vapor-critical surfaces: basement walls near the Scioto and Olentangy river confluence downtown, crawl walls in the older streetcar suburbs, and rim joists across the pre-1995 housing stock. The Climate Zone 5A wall target leans toward R-20 cavity or R-13 plus continuous exterior R-5 wherever the surface sits below grade.
Closed-cell foam meeting IBC and IRC ignition-barrier requirements typically holds an ICC-ES evaluation report; the closeout package should identify the specific ESR number for the product line installed. Permitting in Hilliard routes through the local OH building department, and Climate Zone 5A R-value targets apply across the entire Columbus metro.
