LEADING
THE WAY
Spray polyurethane foam (SPF) is becoming more accepted among homeowners, but is experiencing
relatively modest growth among the
commercial sector. To combat this, forward-
thinking industry leaders are reaching out to
spec writers in a bid to educate them on the
cutting-edge, high-performance benefits
of SPF. After all, the key to successful
inclusion in project bids is education
– not only consumer-based education,
but also education for the architects and
engineers who draft the specifications for
large-scale projects. Spray Foam Magazine
recently sat down with Lapolla Industries
to discuss the need for education and how
they are leading the charge to inform and
diversify the SPF industry. In an outreach
effort, they have hired Nick Skadberg, as
Engineering Department Manager. An
energy engineer, Skadberg provides SPF
guidance, explaining the nuances of SPF
to those who may be more familiar with
conventional forms of insulation.
