Re: Spray foam for the eco-conscious

To bfield:

I have used the DIY kit from RHH Foam Systems. I have superintended a number of jobs that used coated foam roofing applied using a truck mounted distributing system. Compared to those, the DIY kit I purchased costs more per CF. I purchased aprx 10 CF for about $350 for a roof repair. The system came with easy to understand directions and was simple to operate. It did not produce a foam surface that was as uniform and consistent as a truck mounted rig but that matters more for roofing than for wall insulation. The performance of what I installed seems to be identical with what I would expect for a truck mounted distributing system. As with most trades the actual results will vary with the skill of the applicator.
