can you use this foam on floor joists and spray masonary brick foundations?

Yes, I would use the closed cell for masonry it provides benefits of sealing from moisture penetration. Also there is an open cell that works for sound deadening.
1569081
Yes....it is closed cell, can be buried below grade. Sticks to any surface. .

This foam is the "closed-cell" type. Based on my research, closed-cell is preferred over open-cell for below-grade insulation or on floor-joists in a basement or crawlspace because it is much denser than open-cell and is a very good air barrier as well as a water vapor barrier.

for the floor, you bet. I do not think there is a material this stuff would not stick to. For masonry brick I would just make sure that it was cleaned really well and do my best to get all dust off before I applied to achieve the best performance.Hope this helps and good luck.

I haven't used the sprayer for this purpose,but I don't see why you can't.Lump free and smooth mix should let you spray.I am considering spraying my block house with a stucco type mix and knocking it down for a stucco finish look.I will try it out first.Good Luck

really.....this 'magic' foam has a good use to insulate gaps where water or dirt cannot penetrate. You should immediately get advise from a licensed HVAC technician

Yes. I am a floorlayer and I use it all the time for glass. Brick is nothing other than a ceramic so it will do fine. It might depend on the thickness of the brick, if you are cutting a house brick that might take two cuts, one from both sides. It will cut it.

Hello Irtafa,The type of foam you should use and recommended thickness will depend upon what you're spraying to. What type of area do you need to spray? It may be easiest for me to help over the phone. If you get a chance, please give us a call at 800-516-0949 so we can help you get your project underway. Thanks! LindaFoam It Green

yes.it would work well, although have you ever thought about using spray foam ?

This foam won't work for that application. You need bigger sheets and thicker too. Gravity would hold them in place.

You need to look at the Manufactures site, as they show you, to spray it on Concrete. By doing this it is sealing your application. If you spray it on plastic, my thoughts it would just fall to the bottom on the floor. But to have the best insulation factor and solution, I would spray it on the concrete. If it is a basement and you are building walls. I believe they advise to frame the wall out from the concrete wall and allow the foam to go in back of the framing. This way the wood is NOT on concrete, that could have moisture in it and transfer to your wood.

I haven't tried it on foam but it seems like it could work especially for thin layers. On wood it was great!

I know a person who used "odoban" concentrate on brick floor. I have never tried it but heard it works. Best of luck

I would say no, these are really thin, and the amount of prep to get them to stick would be a pain, I would recommend a foam brick, and use spray on adhesive.

Absolutely. This product can be mixed at a weak or strong strength depending on the materials it will be in contact with. For use with products like coffee makers or espresso machines use a weaker mixture. For concrete prep or decalcification after tile work mix stronger. I have used it for both and it is excellent.

I bought it for the cushioning but mostly for being a moisture barrier for a single story slab home . If you plan on installing your new flooring on a second story or higher, or on a pier and beam foundation, a lot depends on your sub floor. Call the company. It isn't labeled as a sound proofing product and there might be a better product for your purpose.

I wouldn't chance it. You're supposed to use non-sudsing products designed for tile, ceramic or vinyl flooring, per the manufacturer. I use Armstrong "Once and Done", which works well and smells nice.

You could, but I would not recommend using this on rough surfaces as it would tear up the pad & not work as effectively as smoother hard surfaces. A steamer or pressure washer at be a better choice, but if the brick is indoors you would need to get the water up quickly.

I think it would not adhere well to bricks. Using double faced foam tape might be a solution.

That would most likely work. The concrete patch material is pliable but would require some type of backing during application and drying. The color is gray so I don't know what the end color would be mixed with brick dust but it would be mixable and worth a try.
