With the akfix gun and the nozzle with proper application you it will yield up to 3m² with 1.5cm thickness per can for one layer if applied from a distance of ~40cm with normal application speed (850 ML or 930 GR per pcs)
That was crazy , I’m both amazed and stupefied at the same time lol, great attitude bud !,as a 20+ year veteran of actual spray foam I’ve never seen a guy us can foam to do insulation in a addition not just cracks and gaps,see in Canada that product is not certified for walls/ceilings because it’s not by design able to bond correctly to the substrate due to the lack of exothermal reaction temps witch over a season change causes massive heat lose related issues. I would love to know where you are located to know if it’s certified there?
Might want to block the eaves off with cardboard and spray over them otherwise that’ll be a massive heat loss and cause really bad ice if you live in a cold climate.
You really werent much help. How thick did you spray it to cover 20 square feet per can? What area do you live? One inch is 5 R so fiberglass would be cheaper to install even at 19 R
It looks to me like he had an average coverage of about 2" which would have an R - 12 insulation value. R-13 would cost much less, would install much faster, much cleaner (no masking) and lastly greater insulation value. Additionally, should anyone desire to run wires in the future to accomodate a particular need or change in technology, the foam makes those basic tasks nearly impossible or at the very least will be significantly more labor intensive.

How many cans did u use?
what sort of coverage did you get?
Id suggest a flash and bat method for insulation, best of both worlds.
It’s pointless when using closed cell spray foam. 2 inches is enough to completely block air exchange.
But for sound issues, yes I agree.
Nice review!
Did say how many cans used 😳 and the current temperature. Good to know.
Gently warm the cans and the gun and you’ll see a marked increase in coverage.
@@miterbox7031And how to warm? Should I heat it??
How much coverage did you get for a can and approximately how many cans you go through for the area

He's in Georgian Bay, so Ontario somewhere.
@@olafbigandglad seriously!???did he get inspected, man I could use an update video

How much area were you able to cover with each can?
According to the can you can get up to 32 square feet per can, but it really depends on how you spray. On average I got about 20 square feet per can.

I was just wondering if you spring a leak on your roof how you going to know 🤔🤔
How many cans? And can you go thicker?
You can spray multiple layers to get a higher R value.
What is the rating on what you have foamed there?
R Value of 5,66 per inch
Great product! I know where to buy it too! ;) LOL
😅 m
Y
OhgOhg 😅
Vmg1.
Looking at the finished product Im not sure that you ever “got the hang of it” 😂
yea didn't look good at all
Does it have a R level?
Most high density foam is R 5-ish per inch
hey there, what was the temperature difference before and after spray foaming?
Great product. 👏👏👏👏It is looking very easy, practical and more economical application.
Economical? Do you know how many cans it took at $30CAD a can?
Very good
What gun is that that actually sprays
It’s a foam gun. You can buy them at most hardware stores.
I can not find it in the UK ?
you can find on ebay Insulation expanding Spray foam
Why you can't give us and answers for how many can you used and how thick .........................
Should have just left contracter paper down or ram board down till most of the interior work was completed as well
Cost for 1 m × 1m deap 1 inch

R value doesn’t mean anything in the spray foam world. 2-2.5 inches and you have totally blocked all air and water passage.
I know inspectors don’t agree, but science does.

Akfix is total garbage. Half of the cans I purchased did not dispense any product. Customer service is garbage.
How many cans did you use to get that far?
That's what I was wondering it looked like he did most of that wall with 1 can but probably not right

How many cans did it take? Can someone answer this question
As I know, 1 can cover 9 square feet
What was the cost comparison between foam and regular batt insulation?
