INSTALLING EXTERIOR JOINERY

Thermal and acoustic insulation with Soudafoam Range

A building is constantly moving, and a building consists of various materials that all move independently of each other. Joints between these various parts can therefore best be made with a flexible product. This applies all the more to joints around window frames. Here as well, an elastic PU foam ensures durable acoustic and thermal insulation.

The optimal sealing of window joints consists of good airtightness on the inside, thermal and acoustic insulation in the middle, and excellent protection against the elements on the outside.

How to insulate around windows and doors?

1. Clean the wall around the window or door

Remove dust, grease and dirt.

2. Moisten the surfaces

Moisten the wall and the doorpost with a spray bottle filled with water. The foam then adheres better and the foam will harden better.

3. Shake the spray can vigorously

Put on protective gloves and safety glasses. Shake the Soudal Soudafoam spray can for 20 seconds.

4. Fill the opening between the window or the door and the wall

Hold the spray can upside down and spray Soudal Soudafoam between the window or the doorpost and the wall. Fill the opening approximately 75%; the foam will expand further. Do you have to fill a large surface? Shake the can again regularly and moisten between the different layers. Leave to harden and cut away any excess foam.

Tip:

  • Remove non-cured PU foam with Soudal Gun & Foam Cleaner.
  • Make sure you work in a well-ventilated space so the solvent propellants can escape.
  • A PU foam can be easily applied with one hand thanks to the Genius Gun applicator. You can also control the amount you use much easier and then re-use the can for up to 6 weeks. That is handy if you only want to do a few small jobs around the home.

The following is also useful:

  • Spilt and hardened PU foam can only be mechanically removed (sanded). On non-porous surfaces, you can first make the foam a little softer with Soudal PU Remover.
