Climate zone 3A: what it means for spray foam
Lawton's central point is in Comanche County, which the 2021 IECC county map assigns to climate zone 3A (mixed-humid in DOE's Building America terms). Zone 3A is a moist ("A") zone, which drives the vapor and R-value rules below.
Other counties within our Lawton service radius: Caddo County (3A), Cotton County (3A), Kiowa County (3A). All are zone 3A too.

Open cell vs closed cell in Lawton, OK
Attic roofline: in climate zones 1–3 an unvented ("sealed") attic with open-cell foam sprayed under the roof deck is a common way to bring attic ductwork and air handlers inside the insulated envelope. The International Residential Code (Section R806.5) allows unvented attics with air-impermeable insulation such as spray foam; for a hybrid "flash-and-fill" assembly the foam layer at the deck must be at least R-5 in zone 3A.
Humidity: in a mixed-humid climate, a sealed attic becomes part of the conditioned house. Ask how the installer and your HVAC contractor will handle attic humidity (for example a small supply-air connection or dehumidification).
Closed cell earns its higher price where you need a vapor retarder or water resistance: crawlspace walls, rim joists, below-grade walls.
Metal buildings, pole barns and shops
For uninsulated metal roofs and walls, closed-cell foam sprayed directly on the panels is used both as insulation and as a vapor retarder to stop condensation from forming and dripping on the underside of the metal. When you request quotes, choose "Metal building / pole barn" and give the building's footprint and wall height; ask each installer for foam type, thickness, and whether a thermal or ignition barrier coating is required for how the building will be used. We don't have data on how common these buildings are around Lawton, so we won't guess.
How much insulation to ask for
| Where | ENERGY STAR recommendation for zone 3A |
|---|---|
| Attic, uninsulated | R-49 |
| Attic with 3–4" of existing insulation | add R-38 |
| Floor over unconditioned crawlspace/basement | R-19 |
| Basement or crawlspace walls | R-5 continuous or R-13 cavity |
| Exterior walls (when re-siding) | add R-5 insulative wall sheathing beneath new siding |
To reach R-49 with foam alone you'd need roughly 13.2–14.0" of open cell (about R-3.5 to R-3.7 per inch) or 7.0–9.8" of closed cell (about R-5 to R-7 per inch). Many roofline spray foam jobs are installed thinner than that and justified through the code's performance path or the unvented-attic rules, so ask every installer to write the foam type, thickness and resulting R-value on the quote and explain how it meets your local code.

Oklahoma energy code
2018 IECC (via IRC Chapter 11) with Oklahoma amendments, effective September 14, 2022. Oklahoma amendments lower prescriptive ceiling insulation to R-30 and wood-frame walls to R-13.

Homes in Lawton, OK
Census figures for Lawton city (ACS 2020–2024 5-year estimates): about 39,789 housing units, a median year built of 1973, 64% built before 1980 and 6% built in 2010 or later. 69% are single-family detached homes and 2% are mobile/manufactured homes. 45% of occupied homes are owner-occupied, with a median owner-reported home value of $142,100.
- With 64% of homes built before 1980, many attics here predate modern energy codes. Older attics often need old insulation removed or air-sealed first, and knob-and-tube wiring must be checked before any insulation covers it. Ask whether removal and prep are in the price.
- 45% of homes heat with utility gas. Spray foam makes a house much tighter, which changes how gas furnaces, water heaters and fireplaces draft, so ask whether the installer (or your HVAC contractor) will do combustion safety testing after the job. Some utility rebates require it.
