Spray Foam Safety
While there are many horror stories about spray foam on the internet, cases of spray foam insulation defects and failures are very rare. This article is here to show you the ecological benefits of using Spray Foam GTA services, as well as why it is safer to use spray foam over other insulation types.
What our product is all about
Our spray foam is typically made out of two major chemicals – Isocyanate and Polyene resin. These chemicals usually combine together at the nozzle of the spraying gun and upon contact with the surface, expand to up to many times its original size, thereby completely sealing the area in question. Unfortunately, some counterfeit companies have known the value of spray foam in the market and in an attempt to stay relevant, have resorted to using substandard chemicals and other additives in their spray foam that are potentially dangerous to the human respiratory system.
Our spray foam products have been primarily tested in specialized laboratories such that they are meant to serve their initial purpose, posing minimal health risks.
Our years of experience in the spray foam insulation has given us enough insight on the best practices to ensure that spray foam insulation serves its sole purpose of improving a home. Some of the practices which we would like to share with you are:

- Clear your attic prior to insulation
- Ensure your home is well ventilated
- The insulated room should be out of bounds for a period of time to allow the materials to take full curing and protection effect.
While some of these may appear insignificant to the common observer, their impact on your energy cost over the long term is immense. Our technicians will take a look at your home and identify all areas that require sealing before commencing work. It is advisable to remove any items stored in attics and other heavy work areas in advance so as to make the insulation job quicker and more efficient.
