Spray foam insulation questions
Can spray foam go in a 100-year-old house?
Often, yes, once wiring, decking and moisture are checked.
Will spray foam damage historic materials?
Foam is applied to the underside of roof decks and floors, not to historic finishes. Talk to your installer about anything you want preserved.
