Polyurethane Spray Foam Insulation
Polyurethane spray foam is widely used across building and marine projects thanks to its ability to expand on contact and form a tight, long-lasting barrier. As the foam grows, it fills small cracks, gaps and hard-to-reach crevices, creating a sealed surface that supports better performance across a range of conditions.
This flexible material suits many industries and is often chosen for its durability and ease of installation. Common uses include:
- Weatherproofing
- Noise reduction
- Insulation and sealing
- Preventing air leakage
- Reducing energy costs
Polyurethane spray foam supports better protection from moisture, helps limit sound transfer, and creates a sealed layer that holds its shape across irregular surfaces. By reducing air movement, it also helps maintain steadier indoor conditions, which can ease the load on heating and cooling systems over time.

What Is Polyurethane Spray Foam?
Polyurethane spray foam helps manage high and low temperatures across industrial and commercial sites, while also supporting stable conditions inside buildings and marine vessels.
This material is formed by combining two liquid components – a polyol resin and an isocyanate hardener. These liquids pass through a spray gun and mix at the point of application. As they react, they expand and set into a rigid foam with a closed-cell structure. The foam can grow up to 60 times its original size, creating an airtight layer that holds strong, acts as an adhesive, and provides a protective finish across the surface.
Polyurethane spray foam is an effective insulation material that is suitable for use in various types of industries, including residential properties, commercial properties, marine vessels, processing equipment and industrial applications. It’s a popular insulation choice that is often used as a commercial spray foam insulation, as well as an industrial spray foam insulation option.
Polyurethane Applications
Industrial & commercial buildings
Thermally insulate your walls, floors, and ceilings with polyurethane spray foam. It creates a tight, seamless air barrier and is unaffected by moisture and water. As both an industrial and commercial spray foam insulation, polyurethane foam insulation is a solid choice that’s ideal for many applications and gives many benefits.
Processing equipment
Marine vessels
Unaffected by water and moisture, polyurethane spray foam is an excellent way to insulate your vessel thermally. These foam products prevent the need for vapour barrier coatings as the cavity has already been filled.

Benefits of polyurethane spray Insulation
There are several advantages to using spray foam insulation.
Seamless moisture and air barrier
Create a tight, seamless air barrier around your vessel or building with our spray foam insulation. This expanding foam prevents air from breaking through the barrier. Polyurethane is also immune to water and moisture penetration.
Environmentally friendly
Polyurethane spray foam is a great option for reducing impact on the environment, as it provides an industrial and commercial spray foam insulation option that is environmentally friendly. The excellent insulation properties of this foam, whether it takes the form of polyurethane foam sheets, a foam spray, or other forms, also result in less energy waste, as less heat or cold is able to escape from within.
Five-year warranty
You can feel confident in your new spray foam insulation, knowing we’ve guaranteed it for five years after the sale. If any issues arise with your insulation, we’ll come and have it fixed as soon as we can.
Sound absorption & noise reduction
Our spray foam can also work as a sound dampener. It absorbs sound due to its acoustic insulation qualities. This is beneficial in a number of industries, such as reducing noise pollution for factories and other industrial sites. Thermal insulation will reduce noise levels from your equipment, vessels, or buildings by 75%.
One of the best thermal insulation options
This spray foam insulation is heat-resistant, making it ideal for use in areas where high temperatures are common. It can generally withstand temperatures up to around 80°C without damage. Polyurethane offers the very best thermal insulation for extreme heating or cooling while being quick and cost-effective to install.
Resistant to solvents
Spray foam insulation has a great resistance against solvents. This includes thinner, acetone, and water, which is one of the reasons it’s so good for use within marine applications.

Frequently asked questions
How long does polyurethane spray foam last?
Polyurethane spray foam has a long lifespan. Once applied and fully cured, it keeps its form without sagging, cracking or breaking down, even in demanding industrial or marine environments. With simple checks over time, it continues to perform reliably for many years.
Is polyurethane spray foam resistant to moisture?
Yes. Polyurethane spray foam is highly resistant to moisture, which is why it’s often used in marine projects and areas exposed to water. Once cured, the foam forms a sealed surface that prevents water from entering gaps or cavities.
Is the foam harmful once installed?
No. The foam is not harmful once it has cured. During installation, our technicians use protective equipment as part of standard safety practice. After curing, the foam becomes an inert material that is stable, safe, and reliable.
How does polyurethane spray foam compare to other materials?
Compared to other materials, polyurethane spray foam provides stronger coverage across irregular surfaces and hard-to-reach areas. It expands on contact, creating a sealed layer that typically performs better in temperature control and air movement reduction.
Can polyurethane spray foam be used in other applications?
Yes. Polyurethane spray foam is suited to other applications beyond insulation, including sound control, equipment protection, cavity filling and thermal stability for processing equipment. Its ability to expand and bond to many surfaces gives it wide-ranging versatility.
Does the foam need ongoing maintenance?
Routine maintenance is minimal. The foam is highly durable once cured, so most sites only require visual checks as part of their general building or equipment upkeep. If damage occurs, our team can assess and repair the affected area.
Will the foam react with other materials on-site?
Once cured, polyurethane spray foam does not react with other materials commonly found in industrial or commercial environments. This makes it suitable for use alongside metals, composites, timber and various coatings.
Does polyurethane foam handle temperature changes well?
Yes. Polyurethane spray foam performs well in both high and low temperatures. It helps control heat transfer across walls, ceilings, vessels and equipment, supporting stable conditions even in challenging environments.
