Experience with Dow Enerfoam?

dfvellone | Posted in General Questions on

I’ve been using Dow’s Great Stuff Pro products – Wall and Floor and Gaps and Cracks – and wonder if anyone is familiar with their Enerfoam, which is also dispensed using the required gun. The Wall and Floor product sticks tenaciously to wood and foam, and the Enerfoam is described as adhering well similarly, but also able to flex. 

Thanks, Daniel

    The nice thing about the Enerfoam is that it doesn't dry up in the gun. I've had partially used cans sit for months without issues. Just for this reason, I would recommend it over the other brands.

    No foam is works well for flex in the long term, even "flexible" ones. If you have a joist that will see a lot of movement, always tape or caulk.
