Want to use foam around all my new windows but don’t want to spend $5 a can that barely does one large window. What do you contractors use when there’s alot to do?

Carl,

*Carl, Try Great Northern Products Inc.They have a lot of choices in foam.My contact is Peter @888-887-4549Good Luck, Brian
*If you invest in a gun, Enerfoam and others have larger tubes that go much further for the cost.
*Carl:http://www.efi.org/products/weather/sealants.htmlSee the kit at the bottom of the page.This gun is far more controllable and the foam goes a long way. You can foam a little, put it away and take it out again the next time you need it and just start using it again. No waste. Plus it sets up quicker and doesn't expand as much as the foam bombs.Steve
*I just bought one of these guns and it was definitely worth it.The foam goes where you want it and you don't waste a whole canfor a small job.
*Carl, have a look here too. Joe Hhttp://www.jrproductsinc.com/catalog.html
*Just foam deep in the cavity to air seal. Do not fill to surface or even close. The left over space is fine of fill with fiberglass.near the stream,aj
