Problems surrounding Spray Foam Insulation
Spray foam insulation has become a huge problem for some homeowners. Reports from the media and insulation industry claim that the installation of spray foam insulation can lead to huge issues for property owners.
Because there are so many types of spray foam insulation such as "icynene insulation" for example, its widely available across the UK. If the wrong type of spray foam has been fitted it has been known to cause issues with some insurances being voided and mortgage lenders not accepting properties with spray foam insulation installed.
Some experts have said that when spray foam isn't installed correctly, it can reduce ventilation within the roof space, resulting in dampness and condensation forming on the roof’s underside. In addition to this, some view it as a potential fire risk.
