h2>Open-Cell Spray Foam for a Residential Loft in Corrigan, TX
Loft spaces with steep, angled roofs are some of the hardest areas in a home to insulate properly with traditional materials. For this residential loft project in Corrigan, the homeowners chose open-cell spray foam to insulate the gambrel-style roofline and knee walls before the space was finished out.
Why Open-Cell Works So Well on Angled Rooflines
This loft’s gambrel roof, with its multiple angle changes from the steep knee walls up to the flatter peak, is exactly the kind of irregular surface where batt insulation struggles to maintain consistent coverage. Open-cell foam expands to fill every angle change and gap along the roof deck, conforming to the exact shape of the space rather than fighting against it. The result is a continuous, gap-free layer of insulation from floor to peak, visible throughout the finished application in this project.
A Comfortable, Usable Loft Space
Loft and attic-level rooms are notorious for running hotter than the rest of a home, since heat naturally rises and uninsulated rooflines offer little resistance to it. By spraying directly to the underside of the roof deck, this space was brought into the home’s conditioned envelope, meaning the loft stays close to the same comfortable temperature as the rooms below it — rather than becoming a space that’s only usable a few months out of the year.
Built for East Texas’s Climate
Corrigan sits in north Polk County, in the same hot, humid IECC Zone 2A climate as the rest of Southeast Texas. That combination of sustained heat and humidity makes proper roofline insulation especially important in loft and attic spaces, where the building envelope is closest to the sun and most exposed to temperature swings throughout the day.
If you’re finishing out a loft, attic, or cabin-style space in the Corrigan area, open-cell spray foam is one of the best ways to make sure it’s a room you’ll actually use.
