Benefits of GREAT STUFF Pro Foam Sealants
- GREAT STUFF™ Pro foam sealants expand to take the shape of cracks and voids, forming a permanent and airtight barrier to stop drafts.
- Foam sealant cuts down noise pollution and is an ideal product for noise abatement (reduces noise transference from room to room and minimizes noisy pipes and ductwork).
- Minimizes condensation and related structural damage like ice dam, dry rot and foundation damage.
- Minimizes hidden mold and mildew that the homeowner can’t see and reduces related allergy problems also caused by condensation/high humidity in the house.
- Fiberglass, when chinked or compressed, loses its insulation value. Caulks tend to shrink and crack over time. Foam is a more effective air-sealant than either fiberglass or caulk. Foam has a higher insulation R-value than fiberglass and caulking products.
- Air-sealing reduces the pathways where insects can enter the house.
- GREAT STUFF Pro is more cost effective when filling larger openings than caulk. Besides that, application is quicker than caulking. One 24 oz. can GREAT STUFF Pro is equivalent to 26 quart tubes of caulk.
- Due to its strong adhesion qualities to many building substrates, GREAT STUFF Pro actually makes installation stronger.
- The GREAT STUFF brand is the best selling foam sealant in the world. By using GREAT STUFF, your products and services will get an additional boost in marketing credibility.
- Whether you are a Homeowner, New Home Builder, Real Estate Investor, or Business Owner, GREAT STUFF Pro increases the value of your property.
