Why is Spray Foam Superior for Under Slabs?
Closed-cell spray foam insulation is the best performing insulation because it sprays and sticks directly to the substrate giving you:
Complete air sealing,
Superior thermal value,
Moisture control,
Noise reduction, and
Structural support.
We Improve Your Homes Energy Efficiency With Spray Foam.
Using Closed Cell Spray Foam installed by our certified installers, we will maximise your homes energy efficiency by a further ~30%, saving you BIG on heating and cooling running costs.
Polyurethane Spray Foam is a type of insulation material that is commonly used in the construction industry for its insulating properties and ability to seal gaps, cracks, and voids in buildings. Here's a detailed breakdown:
-
Composition: Polyurethane foam is derived from a combination of two primary components: isocyanate and polyol. When these two components are mixed together in the presence of specific catalysts and blowing agents, they react chemically and expand, forming a foam.
-
Types: There are two main types of polyurethane spray foam:
-
Open-cell foam: This type has a lower density and is softer. It is more permeable to air and moisture. It's recommended for use in interior applications.
-
Closed-cell foam: This type has a higher density and is more rigid. It provides a higher R-value (thermal resistance) per inch than open-cell foam and acts as a moisture and vapor barrier. It's often used in exterior applications or areas where higher insulation values or strength are needed.

-
Applications: Polyurethane spray foam is widely used in a variety of applications, including:
-
Insulating walls, roofs, and floors
-
Sealing gaps and cracks to prevent drafts
-
Soundproofing
-
Enhancing structural integrity
-
Preventing moisture infiltration
-
Includes Fire Retardants meeting Building Code Australian requirements
