This stuff is extremely insulating. Closed cell will provide on average 7.5 r value per inch of thickness. Both canisters you see here look like the 600 board foot version for closed or 1200 for open cell. Open cell can do about 3.4-4 r value per inch. Not recommended for roof tho. You'd want closed for that. Depending on where you are. 3 inches of closed cell would be enough for your walls. So these two canisters would yield around 200sqft. Aka expensive AF

Professionally installed is probably a bit less, but may not be where this fellow lives. The foam costs more DIY, but you aren't paying someone else. The evenness and therefore sealing of a professional install is much better though and they are liable if it goes wrong. So there would have to be a good reason to do it yourself.
Often people use this for the sealing, and then use batt or loose fill for the rest. It's expensive, but the seal cannot be beat, it also makes the house stronger.

[@kniefi]

Why do people use foam in the US?
We normally use rockwool or some other brand of mineral-wool. A Moisture barrier/water barrier, then 200mm (8 inches) of mineral wool, a second vapour barrier on top of the wooden trusses, then some 2" x 3" wood and another 3" of insulation in a cross-pattern over the first one.
After that - cement board or dry wall over it.
That is how it is done in Germany/central Europe most of the times.
does not burn, non-hazardous materials - relatively cheap - easy to DIY and most importantly it lets SOME vapour through - it is not like "sealed".
In my opinion far superior to any foam...
But I am very well willing to learn the advantages of foam!

[@BigScaryDragonGaming]

Because hard dense foam can be both a vapor barrier and insulator in one. It has the additional benefit of expanding into cracks and holes to make an airtight seal. It also bonds to wood or metal making it ideal for metal structures such as garages or barns.

[@goddamn8958]

@@BigScaryDragonGaming hey, just a fellow german here with a question :)
so where does the vapor from the inside of the house go? it will just be stopped inside by the foam and condensate wich in turn can harm the load bearing structure or the interior layers. it has to go somewhere…
that’s why we choose materials that deal with this and make each layer (in the outside direction) more permeable to vapor wich in turn prevents condensation INSIDE the structure of the roof
I honestly don’t know how you solve the problem or if it is addressed at all

[@BigScaryDragonGaming]

@@goddamn8958 excellent observation and you are correct. Homes with spray foam insulation require HVAC units with a mechanical air exchange to ensure the inside air does not become stale. When done correctly it can be very effective because you can control exactly how much outside air comes in and when rather than it leaking in all through everywhere. I would suggest you Google the topic to read in-depth far more about it than I can explain here.
Edit: Reading your comment again I think I understand your concern is actually trapping water between the spray foam and the roof itself? As long as the roof isn’t leaking this shouldn’t be a problem and you actually have the added benefit of the spray foam preventing condensation from occurring on the underside of the roof.

[@kniefi]

@@BigScaryDragonGaming Thanks a lot for explaining it. That makes sense!
I also share the same doubts as "goddamn" - my fellow German ;-)
@goddamn: Ich vermute, dass in vielen US-Gebäuden dann eine automatische Be- und Entlüftung integriert ist.
Haben die meisten Neubauten hierzulande ja auch (mein Haus hat auch eine zentrale Be- und Entlüftungsanlage - die ich nur selten nutze, aber das tut ja hier nun nichts zur Sache).
Engl. I suppose that Air-Circulation is achieved via automated HVAC system?!
How do you guys deal with moisture/vapor, if the foam is watertight/airtight?
In most modern German homes a controlled and centralized ventilation system is installed - which causes a very well controlled humidity level and an exchange of air while keeing the heat energy of the used air and transferring it to the colder air from outside. We usually do NOT have ACs nor HVAC systems.
We usually have in floor pipes (hundreds of yards) and use water to transfer the heat to have a comfortable floor temperature.

Can you reuse the wood after sprayed?

[@SurelyLightFoot]

@@J-Mac8 yes, but it’s not going to come completely off. Because it expands it tends to embed itself into the wood fibers. In general it’s cost of labor vs cost of material scenario for builders. Cost less to just buy new boards. If you want a more eco friendly alternative you’d go with rock wool insulation to get a similar R value. For air tightness you use a sealing caulk at each connection point. The main point of going with a spray foam system is to do a closed air system that uses an air exchanger to circulate indoor and outdoor air. If you don’t have an HVAC system that uses and air exchanger you can run into moisture issues.

@@DriftKingNL NO. the fiber fill companies want you to think that. lots of misinformation out there. There is nothing better than foam. look at what they use to insulate every refrigerator, freezer, cooler or window ac unit, companies know for efficiency and effectiveness nothing can compete with foam. 1 inch of spray foam is more than twice as effective as 7 inches of fiberglass. reason being is fiber insulation does not stop convective heat loss, and that is where you loose the majority of your cooling. most batts of insulation regardless of the type have a R value of around 2. after install due to it being nearly impossible to install without air leakage, and moisture absorption. while laboratory testing for R13. It is a bias test that favors the fiber products and does not account for radiant and convective heat loss. It sucks to admit.. But R value is a useless figure in the real world. running a bead of caulking between the studs and sheathing and leaving a empty void in the wall is more effective than fiberglass.

Think of it like an esky, if you cool or heat the house it stays cool or warm longer.

Thanks for the replies

Ain't that how they used to do the old asbestos roof insulation?

[@kell3381]

thanks for this bro i recently got looked at for a spot on the team and have no experience they’re paying $15-50 an hour i want to learn ASAP!!!

[@johnc8112]

Great video, may I know how much it cost for spray foam and how many square feet did it cover? Thank you

[@dillonjackson5369]

Not much. Call a professional the kits are a rip off

[@nicolatesla2315]

What product is that ?

[@CORRIGEEN71]

How much for the kit

How do you know if the mixture is correct?

[@hundehuete]

very interesting. it's a time/price factor if you wish quickly and effective isolate the top in a light construction like an office point, a container or similar... (my opinion)

[@minenotyours6906]

Where can I buy these, how much is the cost, and how much area can it cover

[@johngatsby1473]

I've always wondered why you would do that portion of the attic. Won't the sun melt the shingles or cause this stuff to lose grip over time

[@kevinpitts22able]

So any extra steps to vent the gasses out of the attic or is the ridge vent enough…?

[@mrbmp09]

Foam insulation is so expensive it takes 20+ years to pay for itself compared to fiberglass batt.

[@WhiteWolfos]

Wdym it's only 50% more and saves 30%+ monthly electrical bill plus better sound deadening & moisture block. It is expensive if you hire somebody to do it

Where can I get the foam

[@dillonjackson5369]

From a professional contractor

[@zbruh7268]

Good job. Too bad foam has all the negatives and not one positive. The R value even sucks for foam. Idk why anyone pays top dollar for a product that literally traps moisture between your walls making the wood rot like a mth heads teeth... im a contractor btw.

[@simonlester578]

Totally agree - aside from a few specialty applications - (rim joists comes to mind) it is over priced junk.

[@zbruh7268]

@@simonlester578 maybe corners in a pole barn house. Other than that, stick to windows and doors for the foam lol

[@tubeetogoo]

Some people just don’t evolve

[@ce461]

And termites just blow through most of the foam to make new nests.

[@badwagon7799]

There's different types of foam for different applications. The fact that it stops airflow is a huge benefit over other forms of insulation. If you have a crappy roof, yes leaks can be an issue. That would be true of any insulation. There's downsides to foam, but theres downsides to the other types of insulation also. Let's not be so critical. I'm also a contractor, and that doesn't matter.

[@agoodballet]

Is this the Tiger Foam kit? I have a ton of spaces I need to insulate, this would be awesome. I hate fiberglass itchy fluff!

A lot of angles to look at on this one. One of them includes the transportation of things like fiberglass insulation. That's going to take up a lot more room on a truck and require more loads and fuel burned, tires, brakes, and so forth.
