Spray Foam for Basement and Crawl Space |
|
The Tiger Foam Fast Rise product is recommended for air sealing open frame walls in new construction buildings, air sealing crawl spaces, attics and basement ceilings, air sealing hot tubs , and air sealing metal buildings .
Sealing Crawl Space and Basement with Spray Foam
Cold floors and hot spots are often caused by air infiltration from the basement of crawl space. Just 1” of Tiger Foam Closed Cell Surface Spray Formula will seal your home from moisture and air infiltration from below. All of our surface spray formulas are E-84 Fire Rated. We are the only brand that offers this safe formulation exclusively in our surface spray products, yet our pricing is competitive with non E-84 fire rated products. Spray it today and save a ton of money this winter.
Crawl spaces and basement ceilings, including rim joists are calculated at simple board footage. For instance, if your crawlspace is 20'x 30', that equals 600 sq. ft.
This spray foam job requires only one TF-600 kit to warm the floors and block draftiness from air infiltration coming up the walls from the crawlspace or basement. For Crawl Space and Basement, we recommend the following product:
| Foam Kits - 200
bd. ft. Foam Kits (16 cu. ft.) |
Item # TF200FR |
|
| Foam Kits - 600
bd. ft. Foam Kits (50 cu. ft.) |
Item # TF600FR |

Technical Information
- Unless otherwise stated, the density of TIGER FOAM is 1.75 lbs. per cubic foot.
- Tiger Foam two component foams are rated at R-Value of 6.2-7.4 per inch (depends on the external factors such as humidity and temperature during the application and curing).
- The size of the kit, i.e. 600 or 200, is indicative of the board foot coverage or expanded yield for that kit. Thus, a 600 kit will cover 600 square feet at 1" thick. A board foot as it relates to this product is a square foot one inch thick. The kit size is yield of the kit expanded.
- The conversion to cubic foot yield for these kits is generally 600 yields 50 cubic feet and 200 yields 16 cubic feet of foam.
- To convert gallons to cubic feet for filling liquid tanks with foam (for EPA membranes, flotation devises etc.), multiply gallons by 0.1337. So a 500 gallon tank would need 66.85 cu to fill the tank requiring a TF600SR and TF-200 for a total of 66 cu. yield.
- Tiger Foam contains NO Penta-BDEs as a fire retardant and are both E-84 Fired Rated

Customer Recommendations
"Just finished spraying the basement of our 190yr old house. Great product. Did exactly what you claimed it would do. Heat & shake, spray away. Thanks guys & gals, I'm looking forward for a "warmer" experience this winter."
