Two questions come up on every larger spray foam job: what is the warranty, and can I finance it? Both answers come down to the installer and the manufacturer, and here is the honest framework for what to expect.
How spray foam warranties work
- Material: the foam manufacturer stands behind the product when it is applied to spec (CAN/ULC-S705, the manufacturer data sheet).
- Workmanship: the installer stands behind the application. A CUFCA-certified applicator working to standard is the basis of a warranty that means something.
- Ask for it in writing, and ask who honours it - the material and workmanship pieces are separate.
Financing
For larger residential and commercial jobs, financing spreads the cost against the energy savings the foam starts delivering immediately. Options vary by installer and project size. Get a quote and ask the installer to put warranty and financing in writing. See certifications.
