1. HOW DOES SPRAY FOAM WORK?
Spray foam is a two-part mixture of liquid components that expand rapidly on contact forming solid foam that completely fills all cracks and spaces leaving an airtight seal.
2. HOW LONG DOES IT TAKE TO CURE?
It takes about six seconds to rise, but around 24 hours to fully finish curing.
3. HOW LONG DOES SPRAY FOAM LAST?
Spray foam should remain functioning properly for the duration of the structures’ existence.
4. DOES THE INSULATION PROMOTE RODENT OR INSECT GROWTH?
Foam insulation offers no nutritional value. Therefore it does not promote a favorable environment for rodent or insect infestation.
5. WHAT ABOUT BACTERIA OR FUNGI?
Bacteria and fungi need a food source in order to survive. There is no nutritional value in polyurethane.
6. WHAT DOES IT DO TO MY ELECTRIC WIRING?
Foam can be sprayed directly to electrical wiring. Recessed lights and other fixtures may require a certain separation from the foam to allow air circulation for cooling purposes.
7. DOES SPRAY FOAM CONTAIN FORMALDEHYDE?
No, there used to be a foam insulation product that did use formaldehyde, but the foam used today is a completely different chemical product.
8. DOES THE FOAM SHRINK?
No, as long as it is manufactured by an experienced technician.
9. WILL CLOSED CELL FOAM ADD STRENGTH TO MY STRUCTURE?
Yes, it will increase racking strength of walls by 250%.
10. WHAT EFFECT DOES THE FOAM HAVE ON SOUND TRAVEL?
Open cell foam can be used as a considerable soundproofing material. Closed cell on the other hand does not perform well as a soundproofing agent.
