DAPtex Plus Multi-Purpose Insulating Foam Sealant

This foam sealant is ideal for sealing gaps around window and door frames and for filling through-penetrations such as plumbing and electrical penetrations in attics, basements, and cabinets.

• DIY-Friendly Latex-Based Formula: DAPtex® is ideal for beginners because it is toolable and moldable, and unlike most foam sealants, it can be easily cleaned with water.

FIRE BREAK Flame Resistant Foam Sealant

This fire-resistant sealant is designed for use in HVAC, electrical, and plumbing penetrations, as well as soffits, partitions, and stud walls. It enhances safety in vulnerable areas.

• Self-Extinguishing Formula: The foam barrier is flame resistant and blocks air infiltration to reduce flame spread into walls and ceilings.
• Class 1 Fire Retardent: FIRE BREAK™ exceeds rigorous fire safety testing standards.
• Highly Visible for Inspections: The bright orange colour allows for easy visibility during inspections.

HOME SEAL Minimum Expanding Foam Sealant

Great for sealing gaps up to 1" in attics, basements, crawlspaces, and foundations.

• All-Season Application: Can be applied in temperatures ranging from -1°C to 49°C (30°F to 120°F), making it suitable for year-round use.
• Minimally Expanding: ideally for smaller gaps, up to 25mm (1 inch).
• Versatile Protection: Offers quick curing, blocks drafts, pests, and moisture, and is fire retardant, making it suitable for both indoor and outdoor use.

LANDSCAPE Exterior Filler & Adhesive Foam

This foam is ideal for outdoor projects such as filling holes in trees, directing water in ponds, securing artificial plants, and providing stone or concrete adhesive for outdoor structures.

• Long-Lasting Blendable Color: The foam's black colour seamlessly blends into shadows. It is UV-resistant, so it will not discolour over time like conventional foams, and it does not require painting.
• Quick Multi-Surface Bonding: It adheres to various porous and non-porous materials such as rock, stone, cement, wood, and cloth, providing unmatched versatility in outdoor projects.
• Easy Solution: This ready-to-use material is less expensive and much easier to use than mortar.

NO WARP Window & Door Foam Sealant

This foam sealant is designed for use in window and door installations, as well as for filling gaps and cracks in foundations, crawlspaces, and attics. It can also be used anywhere a low-pressure seal is needed to prevent warping.

• Low-Pressure Expansion: Specially formulated to maintain the structural integrity of your windows and door, ensuring the frame remains square and functional.
• Superior Sealing: It seals better than fibreglass, creating an airtight, moisture-blocking seal around windows and doors, which can help lower energy costs.
