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.

Utility Knife
This utility knife is well-made and comes in handy when cutting rigid foam insulation. You can extend the snap blade to cut through a 2-inch foam board.
Respirator Mask
A full-face respirator prevents fog up and is more comfortable than constantly replacing particle makes that get fouled or sweaty and is ideal for the pro installer.
Foam Gun
We like using a professional foam-dispensing gun as opposed to straw cans because it allows you to easily control bead size and reuse the can.
