There was no sheet rock on the inside so there was plenty of room for the foam to expand. Looks like I will have to dig a lot of it out so it can close.

I’m painting the trim pieces and want to know how to apply paint over the foam after it cures. The paint seems to just “slide” off”

Many listed buildings are using spray foam loft insulation, and more and more in commercial use.

The plaster around the windows in some places is cracked and very drafty and in other places is snug up to the window frame. Should I only fill in the places that need to be filled with insulation or should I remove the plaster to make a gap and spray foam around the entire window?

The best thing is that you can do it by yourself and you safe a lot of time and money.

At first side looked really horrible, but really helped. Turn out it is really amazing product: fills 100% of the gaps and you enjoy the warmth of your home like never before.
