Good insulation foam with some quirks

The product arrived intact with no missing parts. The tool allows purchasing cans as needed, and the nozzle works without problems. Odor is less overwhelming than expected, but a respirator and open window are necessary for the first few minutes; a dust mask is insufficient. Adhesion is fine on cedar walls but separates into globs on an OSB-framed wall. Each box of six cans contained one denser can that oozed instead of spraying, possibly intended for large gaps. The trigger knob controls trigger depression, not flow; opening it too far causes thin, blow-through passes. Slower passes and a half-closed trigger would improve expansion. About 90% of the desired 1–2 inch coverage was achieved. No desire to try another brand.

Pros
  • + arrived intact
  • + reusable tool
  • + no nozzle problems
  • + odor less overwhelming than expected
  • + good adhesion on cedar walls
  • + achieved about 90% of desired coverage
Cons
  • − requires respirator and open window
  • − dust mask insufficient
  • − separates into globs on OSB
  • − one denser can per box oozes instead of spraying
  • − trigger knob easily misused
  • − thin blow-through passes if trigger too open

Cheap and easy insulation with decent results

Used to insulate the ceiling and walls of a shed being converted into a bar. The foam does not expand as much as expected, and cans must be kept vertical, making ceiling application difficult and inconsistent at angles. It is extremely messy and dries permanently on surfaces and clothing. On walls, it performs well, is consistent, and is easy to layer. A noticeable temperature difference was observed the next day. The job took about an hour, and more cans are planned to finish the walls. It is considered better, faster, easier, and cheaper than fiberglass rolls.

Pros
  • + cheap
  • + easy to use on walls
  • + consistent on walls
  • + easy to layer
  • + noticeable temperature difference
  • + faster than fiberglass
  • + cheaper than fiberglass
Cons
  • − does not expand as much as expected
  • − cans must be kept vertical
  • − difficult for ceiling application
  • − inconsistent at angles
  • − extremely messy
  • − dries permanently on surfaces and clothing

Performs as described, saves money on DIY insulation

Used to insulate an 800 sq ft metal building, with 1684 sq ft of wall and ceiling area. For 2-inch thickness, 168 cans were estimated, but 186 were purchased. No can issues occurred. A consistent 2-inch thickness was not achieved due to overspray and inexperience. Adding 20% more material is suggested for larger projects. Material cost $2,100 and took about 4 days of labor. The product performs as described and is recommended for saving money on DIY insulation.

Pros
  • + Performs as described
  • + No can problems
  • + Saves money compared to professional insulation
Cons
  • − Difficult to achieve consistent thickness without experience
  • − Overspray can occur

This spray foam insulation is relatively easy to apply and works as promised. It eliminates the need to worry about mixing the correct blend of chemicals, which is a concern with two-part systems. It is priced right and comes recommended.

Pros
  • + relatively easy to apply
  • + works as promised
  • + no need to mix chemicals
  • + priced right
