If you're unsure about which one is the best for your project, get in touch. What do we mean by closed-cell foam?Those who regularly use foam know that there are two types – closed-cell and open-celled. Open-celled is more like a sponge and foam like this will allow water to be absorbed. Closed-cell is a more rigid foam that has walls around each cell. With closed-cell, water cannot penetrate, and the foam is firmer to touch. As an example, swimming noodles are made from closed-cell foam.
