Choosing the right foam for your project can make all the difference. Understanding the differences between open cell and closed cell foam ensures you select the best material for your specific needs. Both types offer versatility, but each excels in particular applications.

Open Cell Foam:

• Lightweight and breathable, with an open structure allowing air to flow through.
• Ideal for cushioning, soundproofing, and padding in furniture, mattresses, and acoustic panels.
• Provides flexibility and comfort, making it perfect for indoor or dry environments.
• Absorbs moisture, so it’s unsuitable for outdoor or wet applications.

Closed Cell Foam:

• Dense, watertight structure offering superior durability and water resistance.
• Perfect for insulation, flotation devices, and outdoor use in harsh conditions.
• Provides strength and resilience, ideal for industrial and structural applications.
• Resistant to mould, mildew, and environmental factors, ensuring long-lasting performance.
