Frequently Asked Questions

  • We always recommend reaching out as soon as you know your project timeline so we can secure your spot and keep everything on schedule.

    If your project is time-sensitive, let us know — we’ll always do our best to accommodate where possible. Planning ahead helps ensure a smooth install and no delays!

  • Yes — spray foam can absolutely be installed in the winter when it’s done correctly.

    Professional crews use heated rigs and temperature-controlled materials to ensure proper mixing and adhesion, even when outdoor temperatures drop. The key is making sure the substrate (the surface being sprayed) and the chemical components are within the manufacturer’s recommended temperature range.

    In fact, winter can be a great time to insulate. Cold air makes energy loss more noticeable, and sealing air leaks with spray foam immediately improves comfort and efficiency.

    With the right equipment and experienced installers, spray foam performs just as effectively in winter as it does any other time of year.

    If you’re feeling drafts now, don’t wait until spring — winter is the perfect time to fix it.

  • Open-Cell Spray Foam
    • Softer, lighter material
    • Expands more during application
    • Great for interior walls and sound control
    • Lower R-value per inch
    • More budget-friendly option

    Open-cell is ideal for interior applications where sound reduction and air sealing are the main goals.

    Closed-Cell Spray Foam
    • Dense, rigid material
    • Higher R-value per inch
    • Adds structural strength
    • Acts as a vapor barrier
    • More resistant to moisture

    Closed-cell is best for exterior walls, pole barns, crawl spaces, and areas where moisture control and maximum insulation performance are critical.

    The right choice depends on your building, budget, and goals. A professional evaluation helps determine which product will give you the best long-term results.

  • Epoxy floors can be smooth — but they do NOT have to be slippery.

    The level of slip resistance depends on the finish that’s installed. During application, we can add anti-slip aggregates (like silica sand or polymer grit) directly into the coating to create texture and improve traction.

    For commercial spaces, garages, kitchens, locker rooms, and industrial facilities, we typically install a slip-resistant topcoat designed specifically for safety.

    Epoxy flooring is actually safer than many traditional flooring options when it’s installed correctly and customized for the environment.

    If safety is a priority, we’ll design your floor system to match the traffic, moisture exposure, and use of the space.

    Durable. Customizable. Safe.

  • Yes — gypsum underlayment (gypcrete) can be installed over OSB subfloors, as long as the floor system is properly prepared and meets structural requirements.

    Before installation, we make sure:

    • The OSB is securely fastened and structurally sound
    • All seams are tight and properly supported
    • The floor meets required deflection ratings
    • A slip sheet or primer is installed if required by the manufacturer
    • Perimeter isolation is in place

    Proper prep is critical. Gypsum underlayment is a flowable product, so sealing gaps and protecting penetrations prevents leaks during the pour.

    When installed correctly, gypcrete over OSB provides a smooth, level surface with excellent fire and sound benefits — ideal for multi-family and commercial builds.

    As always, following manufacturer specifications and engineering requirements ensures long-term performance.

  • Yes — gypsum cement underlayment is very durable when it’s installed correctly and used for its intended purpose.

    It’s designed to create a smooth, stable, and long-lasting base for finished flooring like LVT, tile, hardwood, and carpet. In multi-family and commercial construction, it performs exceptionally well under normal foot traffic.

    It’s important to understand that gypsum cement is an underlayment — not a finished wear surface. Once it’s covered with the final flooring material, it provides:

    • Excellent compressive strength
    • Long-term dimensional stability
    • Strong fire resistance
    • Superior sound control between floors

    When properly installed and protected with the right flooring system, gypsum cement delivers reliable performance for decades.

  • Yes! Gypcrete is the same as Gypsum Underlayment. Gypcrete is the just the name brand for gypsum underlayment.

    They are self-leveling cement made from gypsum plaster, Portland cement and sand. Creating a smooth and durable surface for flooring applications.

    A great option to put over is gypsum underlayment is epoxy! Check out Superior Polymers Epoxy Flooring for a fabulous and durable flooring for over your Gypsum Project!
