IBS 2017: Lapolla Spray Foam
This new insulation product is eco-friendly.
One of the big drawbacks of SPF is its global warming potential. Lopalla’s new formula has a GWP of 1 and zero ozone depletion potential, solving one of foam’s most significant drawbacks. It can also be applied in much thicker lifts, up to 5.5 in., making it faster and easier to install in 2×6 walls.

Caulking Gun
It's important for any insulator to have a good caulking gun for air sealing or adhesives, and this one features a revolving frame that makes orienting the tip a breeze.
Staple Gun
Although powered staplers are very popular, you still need a manual stapler on the job site. This staple gun from DEWALT® is reliable and easy to fire, reducing fatigue over prolonged use.
Insulation Knife
If you like insulating with mineral wool, this knife makes cuts that are clean, neat, and easy — it's much better than a utility knife which can be slow and messy.
