How Spray Foam Works for Marine Vessels
Spray-on foam is a special type of polyurethane foam that is applied to seal cracks, strengthen walls, floors and hulls, and of course, insulate and protect boats from the elements. It’s ideal for sealing gaps and preventing airflow through all crevices on any marine vessel.
It is made using a combination of liquid ingredients, which expand to a thick foam on anything it comes in contact with. The foam can penetrate corners, contoured surfaces, walls, and barriers.
Using spray foam on marine vessels is actually a pretty simple process. Take a look at what you can expect if you choose to insulate your boat with spray foam.
- Our team of specialists verifies that the surface to be treated is clean and dry.

- After the foam has sufficiently dried, it is sanded down to a smooth surface.
- The final waterproofing seal is then applied.
Marine Flotation Foam for Seattle Boats
Marine flotation foam can be applied to any number of Seattle marine vessels and boats, such as commercial fishing boats. It works just as well on new or older vessels to seal out moisture, prevent mold and insulate against extreme temperatures. Predominantly, spray insulation is used to seal and insulate wheelhouses, cabins, hulls, and holds.
Spraying on a thick coating of foam insulation to a hold provides the protection you need to make sure your hold maintains constant cold temperatures to prevent fish or crabs from spoiling.
Applying spray foam to a hull helps to seal cracks, strengthens the hull, and may prevent future leaks. Cabins and wheelhouses stay comfortable and warm during winter months and cool and dry during spring and summer after being treated with marine spray foam.
