What Prep Work Is Needed Before Getting Spray Foam Insulation?
Applying spray foam definitely takes less time compared to some other types of insulation. Even still, it’s not exactly as simple as spraying away and hoping for the best. Proper spray foam insulation takes the right kind of prep work (at least, if you want it to work right). Take this inside look at how we prepare your property for spray foam insulation that lasts a lifetime!

Step One: Getting the Surfaces Ready
Have you ever tried slapping a sticker onto a dusty speaker or a greasy phone? It probably started peeling off in a matter of weeks. Spray foam kind of works the same way. There’s no doubt that it’s one of the top insulating materials in Orlando, but it only clings to a clean and dry surface for lasting adhesion.
Preparing the surface to be insulated is the first (and arguably most important) thing that we do before spraying down your property. We do this by removing old insulation with a vacuum before ridding all surfaces of dust, debris, grease, and anything else that can get in the way of reliable stickiness.
Step Two: Clearing Out the Room
The surface that the spray foam needs to adhere to should be sparkling clean, but it’s not just the surfaces that should be spotless. It’s imperative for the entire room to be clean, too. Why? Spray foam installers need space to work efficiently, but clearing out the room can also protect your valuables and furniture. Foam Bear Orlando has a comprehensive safety checklist that the entire team follows before starting every single project. This thorough checklist accounts for everything, even disconnecting power to avoid potential electrical surges.
Step Three: Knowing Proper Spray Foam Application Techniques
Spraying foam without any prior knowledge or experience is just asking for disaster. That’s why it’s imperative to ensure that your spray foam installer has all of the green flags, and why we make sure every single team member is trained and educated on all of the latest methods and regulations at Foam Bear Orlando. This expertise goes beyond the right techniques for spraying foam (although that’s also important). Spray foam installers should also be well-versed in electrical and plumbing systems as part of the job.
Step Four: Adding Final Touches For Your Safety
A good spray foam company knows to bring all of the right equipment for a complete application from beginning to end. When you hire Foam Bear Orlando, we don’t just bring over top spray foam products. We also bring additional solutions that protect and preserve your new spray foam insulation for your safety and to ensure your insulation’s longevity. This is all critical to being prepared for a job well done!
