2. Underlay - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Underlay

   Underlay for timber floors is typically 3mm closed cell plastic foam. This primarily provides sound insulation and a vapour barrier. A watertight vapour barrier should only be used though, when neither condensation from humid air coming from beneath nor water spillage coming from above are to be expected. Especially if there is spillage it will ...

3. Closed-cell PVC foamboard - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Closed-cell_PVC_foamboard

   Closed-cell PVC foam takes solid shape due to its linear structure. However, due to this structure, it is more brittle than open-celled PVC foam. It is available in densities varying from 3 to 25 pounds per cubic foot (0.048 to 0.400 g/cm 3). [3] It has a low flammability rate. [4]

4. Building insulation material - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Building_insulation_material

   Closed-cell foam is non-porous, and not moisture-penetrable, thereby effectively forming a semi-permeable vapor barrier. (N.B., vapor barriers are usually required by the Building Codes, regardless of the type of insulation used. Check with the local authorities to find out the requirements for your area.) Closed-cell foams are superior insulators.

5. Styrofoam - Wikipedia

   Styrofoam insulation extruded polystyrene foam (XPS), owned and manufactured by DuPont. Styrofoam is a genericized trademarked brand of closed-cell extruded polystyrene foam (XPS), manufactured to provide continuous building insulation board used in walls, roofs, and foundations as thermal insulation and as a water barrier.

6. List of polyurethane applications - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_polyurethane...

   Closed cell polyurethane foam can be used as backfill in applications where the high density and compression strength of concrete are not necessary. [22] In addition to being considerably lighter than concrete, the closed cell nature of the material prevents the transfer of moisture to the structure being supported which can reduce the risk or ...
