Pure Eco installs spray foam insulation throughout Pasadena. We use closed-cell and open-cell formulations depending on the application, and we approach every project knowing where spray foam makes sense and where other products are the better choice.
Spray polyurethane foam (SPF) insulation occupies a different category than other insulation products. Where blown-in cellulose or fiberglass batts add thermal resistance to an existing air barrier, spray foam creates the air barrier itself. It expands on contact to fill every gap, crack, and penetration it touches, bonds to surfaces, and delivers both insulation and air sealing in a single application. For specific applications in Pasadena’s older homes, spray foam addresses problems that no other product can solve as effectively.
Here is how we ensure your project is a success:

Pasadena is in California Title 24 Climate Zone 9, where the R-value targets for attic insulation are R-38 minimum, and R-49 recommended. Spray foam is not typically used to insulate an entire standard attic floor because the cost per R-value is higher than blown-in insulation for that application. Instead, it is specified for targeted locations where its air-barrier and adhesion properties deliver performance that no other product can match.
Pasadena Water and Power may offer rebates for spray foam installations when they are part of a broader energy-efficiency upgrade. PWP is an independent municipal utility with its own rebate programs.
California building code requires that spray foam exposed in occupied spaces be covered with a thermal or ignition barrier. All Pure Eco spray foam installations in Pasadena are designed to meet current code requirements. The City of Pasadena operates its own building department, and spray foam applications that are part of a larger renovation may require permits.
For Pasadena homeowners in the foothill neighborhoods and wildfire smoke zones, the air sealing properties of spray foam have value beyond energy efficiency. During fire events in the San Gabriel Mountains, smoke infiltrates through every unsealed gap in the building envelope. Spray foam at critical air leakage points significantly reduces that infiltration.
Closed-cell spray polyurethane foam (ocSPF) has an R-value of approximately R-6 to R-7 per inch and creates a vapor retarder in addition to an air barrier. It is the appropriate choice for crawl-space rim joists, balloon-frame top-plate connections, and exterior-facing applications.
Open-cell Spray polyurethane foam (ccSPF) has an R-value of approximately R-3.6 to R-3.8 per inch but installs at greater depth for the same cost, making it practical for roofline applications. It is vapor-permeable, which makes it appropriate for assemblies where drying potential needs to be maintained.
Spray foam projects vary in duration depending on the scope. A targeted rim joist or top plate application typically takes two to four hours. A full roofline application in an attic can take a full day or longer. Occupants should be out of the sprayed areas during application and for two to eight hours after, depending on the product and volume applied. We will give you a specific re-entry time based on your project scope.

For the right applications, yes. Closed-cell spray foam at a rim joist or balloon-frame top plate delivers air sealing and insulation that no other product can match in those locations. For a standard open attic floor, blown-in is typically the better value.
Spray foam at key air leakage points, particularly balloon-frame wall connections and attic penetrations, significantly reduces the amount of uncontrolled outdoor air entering the home. This is directly beneficial during smoke events.
Yes, in most applications. California building code requires a thermal barrier for spray foam, and every Pure Eco installation is designed to be code-compliant.
Properly installed open-cell spray foam has an expected service life of 30 to 50 years, while closed-cell spray foam lasts 80 to 100 years.
Yes. Spray foam is frequently used in targeted applications, while blown-in handles the primary attic floor. This combined approach is common in Pasadena homes.
