Block Foam

FoamSeal Insulation Systems’ Block Foam Insulation saves the hassles and inconvenience of storing and pouring loose fill materials.  No more broken bags and dusty working conditions.

Scheduling is a breeze!  Most jobs are installed after the walls are finished and a roof is on the building.  Contractors can top fill cores before the bond beams are in place, or drill small holes through the mortar lines, injecting the foam, and then plugging the holes.

The most popular feature of Foam Seal Insulation Systems’ Block Foam Insulation in block walls is its cost.  Prices are competitive with less effective loose fill materials. The quality of Thermco Foam Insulation is well know among the insulation industry and contractors in the know.

Masonry contractors love it!  No labor or handling problems and it does not interfere with other contractors’ work.

How Does Block Foam Insulation Work?

Planning And Prep Work

FoamSeal Insulation Systems will carefully examine the structure to be insulated prior to beginning the project.  They will also coordinate scheduling with both the masonry and general contractors.

 

Drilling Or Top Filling Application

Once the block pattern has been determined, FoamSeal Insulation Systems will carefully drill holes in the appropriate seams to insure proper penetration and flow of the foam during installation.  The Foam can also be top-filled if drilling holes is undesirable.

 

Quality Control

An experienced installation technician is required to check the texture, weight, and density of The Foam to ensure top quality and performance.  This test is repeated randomly throughout the process as an on-going quality control measure.

The Filling Process

A certified installer pumps in the foam under mild pressure until it begins to appear at adjacent holes, insuring a complete fill.  In multi-story applications, Thermco Foam will be installed every eight to ten feet of wall height.

 

Clean Up

The nature of the Foam allows for quick and complete clean-up of the small tails that back up out of the installation holes.  These small bits of foam are welcome evidence of a complete fill.

 

Patching

Once the foam has cured, the holes are carefully patched with tuck point tools and mortar.  The wall can then be painted, covered, or left as is.
