Best DIY Spray Foam Insulation Kit Manufacturers and Reviews

Not all spray foams are the same, so it’s important to know what you’re working with.

Let’s take a look at the more popular kits that the average person can buy online or at their local home improvement store. It is good to note that 1-board-foot is equal to 1-square-foot of coverage at 1-inch.

A minimum of 2- to 3-inches of spray foam is required to provide a proper air seal in most cases.

Touch ‘n Foam Spray Foam Kit

Touch 'n Foam is a division of DAP Products Inc and offers a variety of spray foam kits and accessories for insulation contractors and do-it-yourself installers.

DAP Products also manufactures caulks, sealants, and adhesives that can be used in commercial, industrial, and in new build construction projects. These materials can also be used in home remodels. Touch 'n Foam also offers a variety of canned foam products for very small projects like sealing gaps and cracks, as well as openings around plumbing and the small cavity around windows and doors.

Now for the spray foam kits.

Touch 'n Foam offers one-component and two-component spray foam kits that are portable but vary in size and yield. The one-component spray foam kit is described as an expanding polyurethane foam sealant that creates an air seal and blocks moisture and insect infiltration.

The one-component foam supplies 10-pounds or up to 13,500-feet of foam and is ideal for sealing around plumbing, ductwork, electrical outlets, sill plates, and concrete slabs.

The two-component professional spray foam kits use disposable, pressurized chemical cylinders. These cylinders dispense the polyurethane spray foam and don't need any kind of external air compressor or pumping equipment to do it.

There are three sizes of the two-component kits -- small, medium, and large.

The small two-component kit yields up to 15-board-feet and is great for small projects like hole repair and touch-ups. The medium kit yields up to 200-board-feet and is ideal for projects like sealing basement sill plates or rim joists. Finally, the large kit yields up to 600-board-feet and is better suited for those larger projects like attic rafters or stud wall cavities up to 2-inches.

Touch 'n Foam has a page on the company's website with video tutorials on how to use their spray foam kits. There are several videos that break down several things from the benefits of spray foam to set up procedures to how to store the kits when finished.

The ease of use of the spray foam kits was a common theme reading through some of the reviews on Amazon. One issue users found themselves running into was running out of material before they were finished with the project.

Touch 'n Foam can be purchased at any home improvement store.

Dow Spray Foam Kit

Dow has been in business for more than 120 years.

The Dow Chemical Company started in 1897, and just two years later, the company's first commercial-scale production of bleach begins. For more than a century, Dow has spread out to create not just spray foam kits, but also products for animal care, the automotive industry, construction, consumer goods and appliances, electronics, food and beverage, hygiene, packaging, paint, telecommunications, paper, textiles, and a whole lot more.

For the purpose of this article, let's focus solely on their spray foam kit products.

There are several options for Dow Froth-Paks, and they all vary in size.

The Froth-Pak 12 is a two-component, quick-cure polyurethane foam that yields around 12-board-feet. This kit would be ideal for smaller projects like filling in cracks and gaps throughout the building envelope.

Next up is the Froth-Pak 200, which yields about 200-board-feet and would be well suited for projects like the rim joist or smaller areas. The Froth-Pak 210 is similar to the 200, but it yields slightly more spray foam at 210-board-feet.

Now on to the larger kits.

The Froth-Pak 620 yields about 620-board-feet of foam. The kit is a complete and portable two-component quick curing polyurethane foam kit. The Froth-Pak 650 has all the same features but yields 650-board-feet of foam. Both of these kits are great for spraying the attic roof deck or even wall cavities.

A common theme in the reviews for this product is to make sure everything is prepped beforehand and make sure to have extra nozzles.

If you're looking for tutorials on how to use these froth packs, then Google is your best bet. You will find a few videos done by homeowners or others experienced in using them that break down how to get them ready and how to use them for your project.
