Yes, in fact, there are two types of spray foam insulation; open cell foam and closed cell foam. And there are some differences between them. Below is a quick breakdown of the differences:
In most cases, closed cell foam in the best option. It has a higher R-value than open cell foam insulation and it is strong (bump resistant).
