Some details...

Well, the basement has been cleaned - the walls are bare - we're ready to go!

Although I've mentioned it before - I haven't really given any details about the spray foam treatment we will be applying to our basement walls.

The product is called 'Heatlok Soya' - it's a closed-cell spray polyurethane foam made from recycled plastic and soya oil. According to the pamphlet, it uses recycled plastics and vegetable oils and claims to:
- have zero impact on the ozone layer,
- have one of (if not the) highest thermal value of any insulation product on the market, and
- increase the energy effeciency of the building.

An independent lab test confirms the long-term performance of the product's thermal properties and maintains that it does not support mold and mildew.

For you visual learners - here's their latest promotional video.

Isn't science great??
