“What is the difference between low- and high-pressure spray foam systems?” If you find yourself asking this question, odds are you have an insulation issue and need to know how to proceed. Today we will be looking at the differences between the two and their applications to help you understand the best path forward.
Low-Pressure Spray Foam
Low-pressure spray foam machines are typically seen in DIY kits used by home and business owners. Low-pressure spray foam is effective for coating small spaces with insulation. You can find low-pressure foam at the local hardware store in cans or kits. You may need to stock up on many of these cans if you plan to use a low-pressure foam system for larger projects.
High-Pressure Spray Foam
High-pressure foam systems are fit for more professional uses. When customers bring in spray foam contractors to insulate buildings such as homes or businesses, the contractors usually use high-pressure spray foam systems. High-pressure systems are more fit to handle larger areas of insulation, though they have the capability to handle smaller projects as well.
Differences
The difference between low- and high-pressure spray foam systems is the rate at which they can apply the foam. High-pressure systems have a much stronger rate than lower pressure systems, which is why they can tackle larger projects and cover a wider area. Typically, low-pressure systems will also cost less because of their lower rate of foam application. However, you will still have to stock up on foam cans over time, so the cost may start to even out.
Hopefully, this explanation of the two types has helped you understand the difference between low- and high-pressure spray foam. If you have any remaining questions, you can check out the listing for both low- and high-pressure systems here at Spray Foam Systems, LLC.
