Gun grade foam is designed for professional use and requires a foam applicator gun, giving the user greater control, higher precision, and more accurate bead placement. It is typically the better choice for installers who need predictable expansion and repeat application over longer jobs. Handheld foam is ready to use with an attached straw, making it more suitable for DIY work or quick applications where convenience matters more than precision. Handheld foam usually expands more and is generally intended for single use, while gun grade products are often more efficient for controlled professional installations.
Fire Rated PU Foams are used to seal gaps, joints and service penetrations where fire performance is required. They are commonly applied around doors, windows, walls, floors and other building interfaces to help support passive fire protection. In construction, they are chosen when the seal needs to contribute to the fire resistance of the overall assembly.
No, they do not stop fire completely on their own. Their job is to help maintain the fire performance of a joint or penetration for a specified period, depending on the tested system. They should always be treated as part of a wider fire protection detail rather than a standalone solution.
Yes, they are often used around fire-rated doors and windows where the installation needs a compliant seal. They can help fill the gap between the frame and the surrounding structure while supporting the fire performance of the opening. The product chosen must be suitable for the frame material, joint size and required fire rating.
