DC315 Thermal Barrier Coating — Applied Professionally in Muskoka

DC315 is a specially formulated intumescent coating designed for application over spray polyurethane foam (SPF) insulation. When exposed to heat, it expands to form a protective char layer — acting as a thermal barrier between the foam and the occupied space.

In most building scenarios, exposed spray foam insulation must be covered with a thermal barrier to meet code requirements. DC315 is a recognized solution that achieves this without requiring drywall or other coverings in many applications.

It's regularly used in basements, garages, crawlspaces, attics, and cottages where spray foam is exposed and a compliant thermal barrier is needed.

Building codes in most jurisdictions require spray foam insulation to be protected with a thermal barrier when it's exposed in occupied or accessible spaces. This is a fire safety requirement — not optional.

DC315 is applied as a spray-on coating directly over the foam, making it a practical solution when drywall or other physical coverings aren't ideal or feasible.

Proper application matters. Hiring a specialist ensures the coating is applied at the right thickness, with the right technique, to achieve a compliant and professional finish.
