Spray Foam with DC 315 - Dresden, ON

Before

The owners of the home wanted to update the crawl space to help improve the comfort in the living areas of the home. The work included full encapsulation of the crawl space and spray foam insulation along all exterior walls.

Building code requires a thermal barrier over spray foam insulation in any interior space of a building that is heated or used as living space. This is a fire safety requirement to protect against ignition and heat spread. Areas like crawl spaces, attics, and rim joists often have exceptions, but a thermal barrier is required if these spaces are used for storage or if they have air ducts connected to the living space. 

After

Advanced Basement Systems applied a paint based coating on all exposed spray foam used to insulate the crawl space. The coating is specially designed to meet the code requirements for fire safety!

Call Advanced Basement Systems if you have exposed spray foam insulation in your home.
