When it comes to installing spray foam insulation, safety should be a top priority. To ensure the safety of workers and homeowners, it is important to take the necessary precautions and use the right protective equipment. Limit access to the site only to workers who wear appropriate protective equipment, such as eye protection, gloves, full coverage clothing, and adequate respiratory protection. Make sure that all workers avoid smoking in the workplace and that skin is covered with the right equipment; a special coat and gloves are a must when working with any type of insulation.
During installation and for a period thereafter, no one should inhabit the areas where the spray foam was applied. It is also important to take appropriate precautions to avoid high temperatures or flames near the application site. Homeowners who decide to carry out a DIY project with the two-component low pressure kit or the one-component spray foam can should learn about the safe practices, techniques and work precautions that professionals would use. Professional applicators also use low-pressure two-component kits and one-component foam, mainly for air sealants or for filling holes and gaps; however, these types of products are often referred to as DIY products because they are available to DIY applicators, but keep in mind that the same precautions must be taken as with professional use.
Once you're exposed, you could have asthma attacks when you're in any building that has spray foam. Once the foam dries completely, it should no longer be dangerous, so you should wait a full day before returning home. Aerosol foam consists of polyurethane, which contains two main liquid chemicals that construction workers mix on site. For this reason, it's important to have someone with roofing experience, such as insulation contractors, when you decide to install spray foam insulation for your home or business.
