Spray Foam Solutions supplies and installs high-performance open cell spray foam insulation for residential and commercial applications.

We apply strict selection standards when choosing open cell insulation products, ensuring they meet safety, performance, and environmental requirements suitable for Australian building conditions.

What Is Open Cell Foam Insulation?

Open cell foam insulation is a lightweight, flexible spray foam that expands on application to fill gaps, cracks, and voids within a building envelope. Its open-cell structure allows the foam to remain slightly flexible while forming an effective air seal.

This type of insulation is commonly used to improve thermal performance, reduce air leakage, and enhance acoustic comfort in residential and commercial buildings.

Our Open Cell Foam Insulation Standards

Before offering any open cell foam insulation product to our clients, we ensure it meets the following criteria:

• Highly flame retardant
• Zero Ozone Depletion Potential (ODP)
• Zero Global Warming Potential (GWP)
• Free from Volatile Organic Compounds (VOC-free)
• Non-hazardous when correctly applied
• Fully compliant with relevant Australian Standards

Being VOC-free means no harmful vapours are emitted once the product has cured, making it suitable for use in occupied homes and buildings.

AUSFOAM 10 Open Cell Spray Foam

The open cell spray foam insulation product we use is AUSFOAM 10, supplied by Australian manufacturer Pacific Urethane Systems.

AUSFOAM 10 is a semi-rigid, open cell polyurethane spray foam system, specifically formulated to deliver excellent thermal and acoustic performance while maintaining high fire retardant properties.

Spray Foam Solutions uses AUSFOAM 10 across residential and commercial projects where an open cell insulation solution is appropriate.

Benefits of AUSFOAM 10 Open Cell Foam Insulation

• High thermal insulation performance
• Excellent air sealing, reducing air infiltration and heat loss
• Helps lower heating and cooling energy costs
• Reduces greenhouse gas emissions by improving energy efficiency
• Provides effective acoustic insulation
• Seals against dust and airborne particles
• Ideal for people with asthma and allergy sensitivities

Unlike traditional insulation materials, open cell spray foam self-adheres to surfaces and remains securely in place without the need for additional support systems.

Performance & Proven Use

Open cell spray foam insulation has been widely used across the United States and Canada for many years, particularly in regions with extreme climate conditions. Its proven performance has made it a preferred choice for designers, builders, and government bodies in demanding environments.

Compliance, Training & Certification

AUSFOAM 10 complies with AS 1530.3 – 1999 (Fire Hazard Properties) and has been subject to rigorous testing. Relevant Australian Standards and Building Code compliance documentation can be provided upon request.
Upon completion of your project, we issue a certificate of compliance confirming correct installation.

All spray foam applicators are:

• Fully trained and authorised
• Hold current OH&S White Cards
• Site inducted where required
• Members of the Housing Industry Association (HIA)

Understanding R-Values

If you’re considering insulating your home or building, we recommend reading The Myth of R-Values. While R-values are important, they don’t always tell the full story when it comes to real-world insulation performance.

Can Open Cell Spray Foam Be Painted?

Yes. Open cell spray foam insulation can be painted once cured.
