Prior to designing and installing a spray polyurethane foam perimeter insulation system, code officials should be consulted for recommendations and approvals. Federal, local and state building codes vary. All require that spray applied polyurethane foam insulation be covered with an approved 15 minute fire rated thermal barrier. One typically approved material is 1/2" (1.27 cm) gypsum wallboard applied over the spray polyurethane foam insulation. However, always check with local officials for recommendations and approvals. It is recommended that the approved thermal barrier be installed the same day the foam is applied.
