Up in the loft, Tom and Richard discussed different types of liquid foam insulation for sealing gaps and cracks to prevent drafts. Tom showed several types that are available in a can and another product often used by professionals for much larger jobs.

The liquid foam insulation in a can that Tom showed is manufactured by Dow Great Stuff [https://www.greatstuff.dupont.com/].

Tom also showed a spray-type foam insulation made for larger air-sealing jobs called Gold Seal 400 manufactured by Icynene [https://www.icynene.com/].
