MARINE INSULATION  NARROWBOATS, WIDEBEAMS & BARGES

boat builders ranging from narrow boats to large vessels each with a need for insulation are using spray foam insulation to help reduce the energy consumption, reduce condensation issues Spray foam boat insulation has extremely good ‘u ‘ values or thermal efficiency. For example, when comparing PU foam to ‘Rockwool’, almost three times the thickness of ‘Rockwool’ would be needed, compared to foam, to achieve an equivalent ‘u’ value. Foam, then, is the obvious choice in confined areas such as boats as it is also space saving spray foam system goes onto surfaces in a liquid form, and then, within seconds, expands to the required thickness, setting rapidly into a rigid foam form. This means that a continuous membrane can be achieved, therefore filling in all gaps, eliminating draughts and further possibilities of conducting cold air
