DIY home improvement projects become a lot easier when you have the right products and tools, such as GREAT STUFF™ spray foam insulation. You can utilize this versatile product around your home for many projects while keeping the proper precautions in mind. You’ll need to shake the can for a minimum of 60 seconds before use, wear protective clothing, and work in a well-ventilated area. Below, learn some of the ways you can use this foam around your home. 

4 Home Improvement Applications For GREAT STUFF™ Spray Foam Insulation

1. Stop Pipes From Knocking

Prevent the pipes connecting your toilet to the rest of household plumbing from knocking every time you flush with GREAT STUFF™ spray foam. Simply spray the product where it meets the floor joists to enjoy a quieter bathroom. You can also use spray foam to deal with loud washing machine pipes that knock against the wall every time the appliance gets used. As with the toilet, spray the foam where the pipes join the wall.

2. Keep Squirrels Out

Make your attic impenetrable to squirrels and other small creatures by using chicken wire and spray foam. Stuff the roofing eaves where squirrels enter the attic with the wire and fill them with spray foam to make each eave inaccessible to rodents as well as insects.

3. Protect Your Garage & Foundation Windows

Ensure your garage remains pest-free this winter with spray foam. Add it to all of the cracks and gaps that make ideal entryways for insects. The added insulation also keeps this unheated room warm in the winter.

3. Build Water Features

Beautify your backyard with spray foam. It holds faux and real rocks together to create dazzling water features. Use the waterproof version to create a waterfall of any size before surrounding it with lush vegetation. Spray foam also lends itself to small rock walls ideal for protecting garden beds from rabbits and other vermin.

Another home improvement tactic regarding insects and vermin is to spray the product around all foundation windows. This not only keeps replacement foundation windows secure, but it prevents unwanted visitors from making your home their winter retreat.
