Sprayed Foam Insulation - Inspection Protocol
Many of our PCA members and other followers will have seen across our social channels and in a number of trade press and news publications, that our new 'Sprayed Foam Insulation Inspection Protocol' was released.
As mentioned in previous emails and blogs, we hope this guidance is well received and that it helps surveyors and property professionals when inspecting roof spaces with sprayed foam insulation while also providing a course of action if further specialist investigation is required. Our thanks are extended to Alan Milstein, RPSA and Geoff Hunt.
