Gun foam is an essential tool for anyone involved in a construction project. It can be used to fill cavities and joints quickly and effectively. The foam is very easy to use and provides a professional finish to new builds and remodeling projects.  It is injected into tanks or cans and kept pressurized. When the foam is exposed to air it expands into a substance that is very sticky and is used to fill up gaps and will dry hard. It can be used as insulation and soundproofing and is the easiest way to fill cavities and holes. There are several different types of (including slow and fast rise) and these are designed for different projects.

These can come with their own applicator or you can use a special foam gun. These are very easy to use and will ensure a smooth, even application. To use the foam you need to thoroughly clean the surfaces you are going to be working with. Oils and dirt can reduce the adhesive property of the foam and cause it to ‘pull away’ slightly when it has dried. This will reduce the effectiveness of the insulation and sound proofing. It is also a good idea if you are working in the home to lay down some protective sheeting over floors and furnishings.

Once you have prepared the area are working on then you simply apply the foam into the cavity, gap or hole you want filled. This will expand at a ratio of around 8 to 1. Fill the hole slowly so that you can judge the expansion rate more effectively. This will prevent you from wasting foam or not applying enough.
