Repair work is always a very troublesome and time -consuming process, especially if you try to do it with your own hands. Fortunately, today a modern person has many assistants in this difficult matter. I mean a variety of self -leveling mixtures, glue and much more, which will help to easily and faster to cope with the repair in any room.
In this article, I want to tell in detail as much about mounting foam.
Installation foam is polyurethane foam sealant, which consists of components obtained from oil. This building material has excellent soundproofing, thermal insulation and sealing qualities. It is used for installation of window sills, window frames, door boxes and various types of holes that require filling and additional heat – and sound insulation. Such foam is very easy to use, and its excess can be easily cut with a knife. Its significant advantage is also adhesion with a large list of basic building materials.
Mounting foam, according to the temperature of use, is separated as winter and summer. They differ significantly in composition.
Foam of the first type of frost -resistant and great for external use (until a temperature decreases -100 ° C -180 ° C, and in summer to +350 ° C). However, when working with such foam, the temperature of the cylinder should be at least 0-10 ° C, and the surface with which you work do not contain water, snow or ice.
Summer mounting foam is not suitable for external use, since under the influence of low temperatures it has the ability to crumble. Foam of this species is also easier to influence external factors, such as wind, rain, etc. D.
The so -called all seasonal mounting foam is widespread today. I think in this case the name speaks for itself.
In composition, this product of the construction market is divided into: one – and two -component. And by the nature of application on household and professional.
During work with this material, it is recommended to fill the cracks, holes and cracks by only a third, since during its drying the mounting foam tends to expand.
