Advances showcased around the Spray Polyurethane Foam Alliance convention point to tighter ratio control, jobsite verification and new formulations with cost and environmental implications. For contractors, the shift links directly to installation quality, documentation, risk reduction and bid strategy.
Properly installed spray foam insulation can dramatically improve the performance of metal clad buildings, but success depends on careful attention to substrate stability, preparation, and framing details.

Insulation expert Tom Harris explains why traditional R-value measurements fall short—and how the industry is working toward better ways to measure real-world insulation performance.
From breakthrough foam chemistry to a more educated, collaborative contractor base, Tom Harris explains why 2025 was a defining year for spray foam—and what those shifts mean as the industry prepares for the challenges and opportunities of 2026.
In this episode of If Walls Could Talk, Tom Harris discusses ratio monitoring in spray foam insulation and how it's reshaping quality control in the industry.
