Spray Foam Insulation class


During the day, (the races were at night), we were enrolled in a very intense 8-9 hour a day class on the chemisty and usage of spray foam insulation. We plan on using it on our own home and the 17 more we plan to build. We've also learned about retrofitting existing houses. It seems that in a few years, fibreglass (like the pink stuff that comes in rolls)....is going to stop being made. This foam stuff will not only acheive the "R" value in 3 1/2" of foam, but will make the house "air impermeable"...thereby making it fire resistant, help with allergies, no drafts in the house and keep critters out!
It's expensive up front, but the savings in 3 years will more than pay for itself.Plus it's "green" and has Energy Star ratings, etc.....Pretty cool stuff!

Hi, looks like a pretty professional class. Who hosted it, and where was it, and if you don't mind, how much did it cost?

Thanks!
