How to Get Foam Training for Closed Cells

Although closed-cell insulation foam is more expensive than open-cell foam, closed-cell foam has greater strength, higher R-values and better resistance to air or water leakage. Get the appropriate training before you install it in your own home.

Instructions

    • 1

      Visit a spray foam business in your area and ask if they will be holding any closed-cell training courses in the future. If they aren't ask, if you can pay a technician for a one-on-one training session.

    • 2

      Visit a college's engineering and construction department in your area. Some departments hold spray foam tutorials throughout the school year for the general public.

    • 3

      Contact national foam insulation associations, such as the Spray Polyurethane Foam Alliance, and ask if they are holding or can hold closed-cell information sessions in your area.

    • 4

      Navigate to foam insulation websites, such as Insulation Contractors Association of America or Sprayfoam Distributors of New England, to get training information.

    • 5

      Read foam insulation books, such as "The Solar House: Passive Heating and Cooling" by Daniel Chiras, and articles about closed-cell foam insulation, such as those found in Spray Foam magazine.
