Spray foam insulation
12 years ago
Hi,I'm building a house in Ireland and would like some advise on spray foam insulation.As our climate is very damp I'm worried that the timber would not be able to breath when the foam is around it.Suppliers here say its open cell and is ok for breathing but I'm a little worried.
Many thanks,
Philip
