Why Spray Foam in Huntsville May Need a Thermal Barrier
Huntsville sits at the top of Muskoka, where year-round homes, lakefront cottages, and new builds all face the same heating season. Spray polyurethane foam is a popular choice here because it insulates and air-seals in one step — but what many property owners discover at inspection time is that exposed foam generally has to be separated from occupied spaces by an approved thermal barrier, depending on the assembly and how the space is used.
DC315 is an intumescent coating applied directly over cured foam. When exposed to high heat, it expands into a protective char layer that helps slow fire spread, allowing the foam to remain exposed instead of being covered with drywall in many applications.
