SWD’s polyurethane foam insulation is an effective way insulate any type of building. Residential, commercial and industrial structures all benefit from foam insulation’s ability to create an effective air-barrier solution that delivers multiple benefits including: energy efficiency, structural stability, and improved indoor air quality.
Polyurethane foam insulation can reduce up to 40% of heating and cooling loss because it provides higher effective R-value performance. Because it is a seamless solution, it eliminates air gaps and thermal bridges that can reduce the energy efficiency of any structure. There is no better insulation system than polyurethane foam.

Because polyurethane foam creates a monolithic barrier it is proven to reduces air, moisture, and dust infiltration. This helps create better indoor air quality. It is also proven to reduce pest migration and reduce noise infiltration.
Polyurethane foam insulation may be used to improve the performance of any structure. It is ideal for use with:
- Wood frame structures
- Masonry walls
- Concrete walls and foundations
- Metal framing and walls
Polyurethane foam insulation may be used for both internal and external application and is available in spray or pour applications. Foam insulation is available in a variety of densities to meet specific building requirements.
