Expanding Foam | Expanding Foam Guns

At Insulation4Less, we supply a wide selection of expanding foam products designed for professional, industrial, and DIY use. Whether you’re looking for a quick gap filler, adhesive foam, or fire-rated expanding foam, our range helps you seal, insulate, and protect with confidence.

What is Expanding Foam?

Expanding foam is a versatile gap-filling solution that expands on application to fill cavities, seal joints, and improve thermal and acoustic insulation. Perfect for sealing, filling, and repair tasks, it’s widely used in both domestic and industrial projects.

Types of Expanding Foam Available

Expanding foam has carved its indispensable niche in the ever-evolving landscape of building and construction. Predominantly, products under our Expanding Foam category can be broadly classified into several key types, focusing on various use-case scenarios and applications in construction, repair, and insulation.

Standard Expanding Foams

Standard expanding foams like Hermetic Foam and Fix & Fill Foam Filler find their utility in general-purpose filling, sealing, and insulating tasks. They’re designed to effectively fill gaps, offering thermal insulation and reducing the ingress of unwanted drafts and pests. These are an excellent choice for DIYers and professionals alike, ensuring easy application and providing a robust seal in varied situations.

Practical Uses: General Insulation and Filling

Examples: Hermetic Foam 750mlv and Fix & Fill Expanding Foam Filler

Intumescent and Fire Retardant Sealants

For projects where fire safety and protection are paramount, our range of intumescent and fire-retardant sealants, like Fire Mate, AC95, and Fire Foam Hand Grade Aerosol, offers peace of mind by providing a fire-resistant seal. These foams expand in the presence of heat, helping to prevent the spread of fire and smoke through openings and gaps, making them a critical choice in environments that necessitate an enhanced fire safety protocol.

Practical Uses: Fire Protection and Safety

Examples:

• Fire Mate Intumescent Sealant - 295ml
• AC95 Intumescent Acoustic Sealant 900ml
• Fire Foam Hand Grade Aerosol 750ml

Heavy Duty and Industrial Sealants

When durability and strength are vital, our heavy-duty sealants like Industrial Puraflex 40 ensure a sturdy, resilient seal in demanding industrial environments. Known for their enhanced adhesion and ability to withstand extreme conditions, these are the preferred choice for applications demanding a robust, long-lasting seal amidst exposure to harsh elements.

Practical Uses: Robust Sealing in Industrial Environments

Examples: Industrial Puraflex 40 Sealant 300ml - Black
