The real consumption of foam when installing windows, by the hands of a beginner. I show by my example what you need to count on.

How do you know how much foam will actually come out of the cylinder? Look at the label? I do not advise... They are unlikely to write the truth there.

Here, of course, everything is simple - the real consumption is visible only in practice. But it depends on several parameters.

Foam quality.

Having seen such a picture, many will say that some armless one was singing.

But I honestly admit - this is my job. And I can say with absolute certainty that foam was to blame for this work(about the installation of the sewage system, read here)

It just dripped off immediately after application. And it just didn't work out neatly. Well, the price was appropriate.

So, on the windows, I decided not to save money, and chose a trusted manufacturer.

You can say as much as you like that it smells like advertising, I don't care. I just say it as it is - pIt's a pleasure to work with her.Although I think all foams in the $ 500 price range will be fine.

Application method.

This is also an important point. To be honest, I was afraid that I would not be able to fill the seams properly. And this plays an important role along with the quality of the foam itself.

At first I tried to froth on one side. But at the same time, in a through seam, like mine, a lot of foam just creeps out. In this case, the seam is not normally filled, and the consumption is much higher.

Then I began to do it from both sides.

  • First, you put foam on one side of the seam, trying to fill in this particular side, and not think what is there on the other side.
  • And then, on the outside, for the most part, it just had to be a little puffed up to a good seam.

Two cylinders of the same volume, and different amounts of foam.

With this i faced still on the walls (only there was glue-foam).

Even if you find cheap foam of normal quality, rest assured that in a 700 ml bottle, it will be much less than in the same bottle, but more expensive (you can try to shake it in a store ...)

Visually, no one pays attention to this, but in fact it comes out more expensive.

In the end, what happened to me.

Eight windows (in detail about the sizes, I wrote in this article) - exactly three cans of foam are gone. But no, even a little bit is left to foaming the jambs that I missed ...

And it seems to me that this is not much, although I have nothing to compare with. Write your opinion on this in the comments.
