Closed Cell Strength??
Hi,I was wondering about how many inches of a 2 pound foam do you need in the attic to walk on, crawl or lay on. Say for a 180 and for a 225 pound person. This is an exsisting Attic floor. I will not be storing anything up there. Just wondering how strong this stuff is. Thanks again for your help. Paul |

I don't know what the actually load capability is. I weigh 290 Plus equipment and I can move around pretty well with 4" down. I still try to step on the truss and when crawling I try to put my knee on the truss. I have stood completely right in the middle and not gone anywhere. I would still procede with caution. You don't want to fix a hole like that, and A broken leg takes a while to heal. lol. |

You can stand on two inches. I've done it. Three is better, four is more better. |
