ABOUT FOAM INSULATION

Foam insulation is usually supplied as a two-part product. When these two parts are combined in a special spray gun, the volume of the produce increases a hundredfold. As it expands if fills every crack, crevice, and void in wall or ceiling panel, providing a complete airtight seal. This cuts down both energy consumption and noise transmission.

In addition to normal household insulation, foam insulation can be used in many industrial applications. These include heating ventilation and air conditioning systems, cold storage, and truck, bus and recreation vehicles.
