Overview

Polyurethane is a versatile cellular plastic with unsurpassed insulation properties.  Depending on its formulation polyurethane foam may be open celled or closed celled, rigid, semi-rigid or flexible.  It can be cast, moulded, poured or sprayed in densities ranging from 10 kg/cubic metre - 300 kg/cubic metre.
Foamed Insulations Pty Ltd specialises in sprayed in place and poured in-situ closed-cell, rigid foam ranging from 30 kg/cubic metre. We are able to do both on-site and in-factory services.

Advantages of Polyurethane Foam

• Heat transfer resistance (“R” value) is a common standard of insulation performance.  Polyurethane foam is far more effective than any other commercially available insulation material in resisting heat transfer or loss.
• Sprayed rigid foam forms a seamless insulating barrier, which prevents incursion of outside air, a major source of heat loss.
• Properly protected rigid foam is virtually immune from water penetration, which seriously degrades effectiveness of insulation.
• Sprayed rigid foam does not sag, buckle, pack down or mat - conditions that reduce insulation effectiveness.
• When foam is applied to the upper side of a roof, covering with an elastomeric, bituminous or acrylic membrane is necessary to protect it from ultraviolet rays of the sun.
