Cavity Void-Filling Spray Foam Insulation in Sydney
The Australian Standard for the construction of commercial kitchens stipulates that all walls in the food preparation area need to be of solid construction. However, if you’re moving into an existing space, operating out of an older building or simply weren’t able to achieve this during construction, you might find it hard to meet this standard.
Foamed Insulations specialises in void filling spray foam insulation that seals gaps and helps kitchens and other commercial or industrial spaces meet industry standards for safe work areas.
Why Void-Filling Spray Foam Insulation Matters
Effective void-filling spray foam insulation closes up hard-to-reach spaces where traditional batts fail. When injected into framed walls or voids, foam expands to conform to irregular cavities, providing an efficient way to fill gaps and solidify walls.
Commercial and industrial spaces that require compliance with AS4674 can use cavity wall filling (also known as void-filling) spray foam insulation to adhere to compliance and ensure solid walls without construction.
Using Spray Foam to Fill Void Cavity Walls in Commercial Kitchens
Spray foam to fill wall cavities can be used for commercial kitchen spaces that need to meet Australian Standards, which require solid wall construction. Spray foam is a fast and effective way to create solid walls and vermin-proof areas used for food preparation by eliminating wall cavities.
We have extensive experience working with commercial and industrial kitchen businesses to carry out these services to AS4674 certified standards.
Cavity Fill Spray Foam Compliance and Performance in Sydney
When you need cavity fill spray foam in Sydney, thermal insulation is usually a secondary benefit behind meeting safety, structural and industry standards. Our cavity fill spray foam Sydney service uses closed-cell systems for demanding locations and is specified to meet performance requirements.
We document materials and densities clearly, so specifiers and certifiers can see the relevant technical data. For projects that require more comprehensive insulation, we also handle under-floor spray foam insulation, pre-insulated pipes, spray foam insulation for sheds and under-slab insulation in Sydney.
Process for Using Spray Foam in a Wall Cavity
Using spray foam in existing wall cavities is ideal for live buildings. Instead of removing plasterboard or cladding, we inject foam into the existing wall cavity.
Injecting spray foam in the wall cavity is a targeted operation: small access points are drilled, foam is injected under controlled pressure, and the surface can then be repaired with minimal visible trace.
Because spray foam cures into a stable, bonded material, spray foam in wall cavity installations stops convective air movement and fills irregular voids that batt insulation simply cannot. This method is ideal for anyone who needs to meet solid construction standards without extensive disruption.

Cavity Void-Filling Spray Foam Insulation – FAQs
Will filling a cavity with spray foam damage the wall linings?
No, when performed by experienced applicators, spray foam on existing wall cavity injections are minimally invasive. We make small drill access points that can be easily repaired or covered after the filling is complete.
Will cavity filling spray foam affect the structural integrity of the wall?
No. Filling the wall cavity with expanding foam in Sydney won’t impact wall structure. Our spray foam is designed to expand and harden inside the cavity without damaging the existing wall. It creates a strong bond within the cavity and reinforces the wall without compromising its structural integrity. It does not add weight to the wall, and since it is non-toxic, it won’t cause any long-term issues to the structure.
Can filling a cavity with spray foam help us get an Occupancy Certificate?
Yes. Void-filling spray foam can help walls meet compliance requirements for commercial and industrial kitchens, which must be achieved for an occupancy certificate to be granted.
