What is Sprayed Polyurethane Foam Insulation?
Quite simply, it is insulation plus sealant. As a rigid cellular plastic with over 95% closed-cell content, spray polyurethane foam insulation acts as insulation, an air barrier and, in some cases, also a vapour barrier. Spray polyurethane foam insulation will also cut energy costs and improve comfort levels in any building.
Is your spray foam waterproof and rodent proof?
We ONLY spray two-pound closed-cell foam, which is waterproof and rodent proof! Two-pound closed-cell foam is high-density, heavy and strong, and therefore more apt to resist air or water vapour leakage, which also restricts rodents and vermin from gaining access to the home or building.
