Find a Contractor
When having SPF insulation installed in your home or building, work with a trained professional spray foam contractor. Like many construction materials, installing SPF insulation requires planning and appropriate training.
Below are some considerations when selecting and working with an SPF contractor.
Look for an SPF Contractor with Experience and Credentials
SPF contractors can receive training through various organizations. For example, training is available through national non-profit associations like the Spray Polyurethane Foam Alliance, the Air Barrier Association of America, other organizations like private training groups, as well as through some of the manufacturers of the SPF systems.
In addition, the Center for the Polyurethanes Industry (CPI) has a free SPF Chemical Health and Safety Training Program that is intended for contractors working with high-pressure, two-component SPF as well as low-pressure two-component SPF. Individuals who have successfully completed the CPI course can be verified at this website (See Check Applicator Status under New Training) using their Record of Completion ID numbers.
