Beyond commercial and residential insulation projects, spray foam can be utilized for a broad range of projects. That’s why our team has compiled a versatile list of unique applications we recommend for spray foam.
5 Applications That You Should Try for Your Next Project
1. Set and Quiet Loose Pipes
Whether you want to set a wobbly shower head in place, or quiet pipes that make noise with ongoing use, spray foam insulation is a great way to secure pipes and other materials surrounded by wood, drywall, tile, and more.
For the best results, simply apply your spray foam to the exposed areas that you want set in place. From there, let the spray foam fully expand and cure, and cut off any excess foam if necessary.
2. Fill Gaps in Walls and Crevices
Like with setting loose pipes, spray foam is optimal for filling incidental gaps in walls and crevices that could benefit from insulation. No matter how large or small the space may be, spray foam insulation can help save energy and trap heat more effectively, especially around windows and doors.
3. Insulate Packaged Materials
Looking to transport goods in a safe and efficient manner? Luckily for you, spray foam can create a compact buffer to ensure that your valuables do not break in the process.
For your fragile items, wrap them in a plastic bag before placing them in a box of your choosing. From there, fill your box with spray foam until your valuables are locked into place. Finally, you should be able to move your items without worrying about them breaking during transport.
4. Mold Remediation
For mold spot treatment, spray foam can be used to stop mold from spreading and rotting the wood between your walls. In these cases, you’ll want to utilize both insulation and spray foam equipment to fill the corners of your walls. This will help prevent condensation and pooling water from occurring due to frequent temperature changes.
5. Complement DIY Projects
Spray foam insulation is a great way to get crafty and create custom, one-of-a-kind projects. Some of the DIY projects you can incorporate spray foam into include the following:
- Creating a sound-proof recording room
- Insulating a custom walk-in cooler or wine storage space
- Producing pool or pond insulation
- Adding additional touches to a school project
- Decorating the border of a picture frame
- Securing rocks on a landscape

How long does it take to apply spray foam?
The time that it takes to apply spray foam depends on the project you are working on. Along with the duration of conducting the project itself, spray foam takes numerous hours to fully expand and cure before the installation can be considered complete.
