I want to insulate underside, my question is what is the recommended thickness should i use?Thank you

I dunno. Maybe an inch. I'm just replying so I can tell you that these guys lied. This kit will NOT do 1200 sq ft. Not even close. Maybe 500.

Hello Irtafa,The type of foam you should use and recommended thickness will depend upon what you're spraying to. What type of area do you need to spray? It may be easiest for me to help over the phone. If you get a chance, please give us a call at 800-516-0949 so we can help you get your project underway. Thanks! LindaFoam It Green

Yes, my minor issue was that my insulated garage door was too thick. Easy install on any thin door. Great product.

I don't know the thickness but these things really didn't work for me. My vents are on the floor and these seemed to work for some people who had vents on the floor but mine didn't. I have them taped down and they still come up.

Hi Tony,Thanks for your interest in Foam It Green. When spraying overhead, you should use just the straight black nozzle (the cone nozzle, not the fan tip). Spray on a layer that is about 1/3rd-inch in depth, which will rise out to about an inch. Once the first layer is cured (5-15 minutes), you can apply another pass. You can build up the foam to any desired thickness using this application technique.I'd be happy to answer any additional questions you have about using Foam It Green for your project.

This may work but I do not know how warm and what out side temps are. try some fiberglass mat insulation

You might need thicker underlayment for the second floor.I am using this in the 1st floor, so far OK.

I used the thicker version because I was installing on 3/4" USB over 20" spaced joists. That's due to potential floor flex. On a slab I would have used the thinner (cheaper) version. Some people use the thick version to better match other parts of their floors (like wood floors)

I would have to say medium thickness if its really cold where you are then you might want to fine one that is thicker.

I can't imagine why it would be optimal for that. RadiantGUARD foil is meant to reflect heat away & does result in lower heat transfer to the living area below attic crawl space. But if you want to e.g. insulate tubes from heat, there must be better insulation choices.

That would probably work. The more insulation the better. I would use some kind of reflective like it type material for maximum heat. Good luck.

Christine,Yes..First, you can go to Home depot and get some 1 inch rigid insulation. Fabricate a box to cover the light housing. Then set it over the light can & apply a thin bead of yhis foam around the edges. Remember, interior walls where electrical and plumbing penetrations are at the top of the wall plate as well.Insulating without "air-sealing" is a waste of your money. This product works very well. Amazon also has the tool yoy need to use with this insulation foam. And remember, if the material in the tip becomes hard, just spray some WD-40 in it and it will be good to go.~Kevin Christine,Yes..First, you can go to Home depot and get some 1 inch rigid insulation.

Sure - should not be a problem. Put in low enough to provide sufficient heat. A higher install expands the area but with less heat.Tommy

I don't know because I only used it to insulated the hollow area of two 2 x 4 stud walls where they join and not what you are asking about.The best thing is to write to the Touch n Foam manufacture. I did, before I used this product, and they were very helpful.

Either thickness will work. I used 3/4" and it folds perfectly. Initially I wanted it to fold and store in the garage, but the casters are way too small to allow you to do that properly. Presently I am not folding it, and am using it as a utility trailer and store it outside. Other than the foolding problem it is very durable and handy. Just wish I would have bought it 20 years ago!

I used 1/4" cork underlayment bought in 200 square foot rolls. I taped the seems. Turned out perfect. Best floors ever. Seal with Bona Traffic. Even placed in my bathroom. No problems.

You will need a place to exhaust the air that is used to cool the compressor. Oh, and this is IMPORTANT!!!!! When I got the unit set up and running in the bedroom I found that the unit was fighting itself on cooling because the exhaust hose used to cool the compressor etc. was hotter than heck. I talked to the Sylvane people and they said that was normal. What???? So, I have an AC working at the top and a room heater working in the back thru the exhaust hose, pretty much greatly reducing the cooling efficiency. I ended up buying a roll of 1/4 inch thick air cell insulation with the silver mylar face, front and back, and using ac/heating duct aluminum duct tape and wrapping strips around the exhaust hose triple thickness until I couldn't feel any difference between room temperature and the surface of the hose. I would think they would provide an insulated exhaust hose.

I would use rubber undercoating here on Amazon or at the auto parts store. Very inexpensive, dense product. Been using for years on sinks, works better than these expando-foams.
