Insulating Spray Foam
If you’re looking to make your home safe and energy efficient then the answer lies with insulating spray foam.
Insulating spray foam is a type of roof insulation that does so much more than simply insulate. From eliminating leaking roof problems to strengthening your roof structure, insulating spray foam is the ultimate in roof insulation</strong>.
There are many types of roof insulation on the market and each one is different in terms of how well it insulates, this is measured by its R-value. R-value is an insulation measurement term used to measure the effectiveness of the insulating spray foam. The bigger the number, the better the insulation’s effectiveness.
RoofSURE, who have over 20 years experience working with insulating spray foam, use a polyurethane spray foam which has a higher R-value than other types of insulating spray foam. RoofSURE’s insulating spray foam conforms to BS476 part 7 and can only applied by BUFCA (British Urethane Foam Contractors Association) accredited installers.
Insulating spray foam is neat in its appearance and is applied to underside of the roof, covering the battens, but not the joists, rafters or purlins. This type of roof insulation is highly thermal-resistant which reduces the cost spent on heating during the winter and cooling during the summer. And lower energy bills has got to be a bonus, hasn’t it?
RoofSURE’s insulating spray foam is much more versatile than other insulation products. Not only does it insulate, but it increases your roof’s resistance to abnormal wind speeds, eliminates wind, rain and snow getting into your loft space, preserves the appearance of your roof and so much more.
Because RoofSURE’s insulating spray foam needs to be applied by BUFCA accredited installers, you can rest assured that you are receiving the highest standard of quality and service. RoofSURE are a family run business and so they understand that when you have any work done to your property you want it to be done properly and promptly which is why RoofSURE’s insulating spray foam is installed over a one to two day period. Once the insulating spray foam has been installed, you will receive a written transferable 30 year manufacturer backed guarantee.
So, if you’re looking to make your home safe and energy efficient then the answer lies with RoofSURE and with their insulating spray foam.

Spray foam comes in closed cell and open cell types, and is very expensive due to it's application. Vapor barriers are not always a good thing, and can do a lot of damage of not properly installed to your individual situation.
There are pros and cons for every material on the market today. If there was something that is best for all situations, we would nothing to choose from.
Go to dowbuildingmaterials.com for a cognitive list of different foams and reasons for use, as well as a good faq section in an area called "answers" under one of the drop down menus.
Your question has so many different variables that may or may not apply, it would be impossible to discuss here. Talk to your architect or local building code office, they will have a better idea for your area of the country, humidities, temps, snowfall, rainfall, etc.

Find anything yet? There are a few DIY kits out there, but they are hard to get. Some sites which look promising right now are:

The first is a company in NJ…I am a bit hesitant to ship over the border. The other has a rep in Canada but I'm having trouble getting a call back. Last one is a good product, but try and find someone who sells it…
I am insulating a 450 sq.ft. crawlspace, thinking about sprayfoaming the underside of the floor, if I can get my hands on the product…
Post back if you have any luck.

What type of foam are you using? If it's the two part system you can spray it directly on the sub-floor, and you don't need the drywall (Unless you want it). 4" of foam is the most you need in a floor application. If you were thinking of hanging drywall, and filling the cavity, unless you buy slow expanding foam you'll have wasted your time hanging drywall because the foam will expand so much, it'll pop the drywall right off the screws, or nails.
Go to wwwbetterfoam.com, they have the product you may need to do a proper job so you'll not waste your money.

the vapor barrier is the better part of this solution. without knowing exactly what is in your crawl space and how you plan to put the insulation in, i am not fond of either kind of foam.
Why? because you may have pipes, or electrical wires you may need to get to at some point in the future. if you cover them with foam, it will be a real drag trying to do anything with them should you need to.
if you are going to insulate with the foam anyway, get the higher R value for the same money. i would then paint the foam with any old latex paint, thus sealing it up from the deterioration that comes from being exposed to moisture and air.
frankly, i think you are going about it the wrong way. dead air is what insulates, really. the foam only encapsulates air bubbles. if you seal up the crawl space, then you have one big pocket of dead air. myself, i would do the vapor barrier, then only insulate the outside walls of the space, probably with the foam. make sure any entry point fits tight and is insulated as well. if you do it that way, you can get to any pipes or wires you may need to in the future.
oh, by the way, if you seal up any holes in the floor and then paint on (spraying it would be easiest, with a commercial grade system) a decent latex paint on the underneath side, you will seal the wood beams and joists and floor and protect it from moisture. be sure to do this when it is hot and the least humid it gets wherever you are, so you are not sealing it IN.
