Beyond Visual Estimation: The Real Cost of Unverified Spray Foam Thickness In the insulation business, "close enough" is a dangerous phrase.

Currently, the maximum spray foam probe length available on the market is 7 inches. If your project demands a high-R-value install exceeding that depth, you are no longer measuring—you are...
