Here at Fastbuild, we sell a range of building supplies in the UK, including expanding foam. Here, we look at its many potential uses to help you on your next job. What is Expanding Foam?There are many opinions but what do the fire door manufacturers who make and certify the doors say? After all, if we want to install compliant fire doors, we should follow the manufacturers, certified and tested guidelines should we not? Note that these products are very different to expanding foam in a can, and as such have other properties and uses not discussed here. Make sure you’re using the correct product for your project. Expanding Foam Uses Inadequate Expansion Control: Expanding foam can inflate in an unpredictable manner leading to uneven coverage, sometimes expanding beyond its intended boundaries, or even leaving unnoticed gaps. This can create pathways for fire and smoke to bypass the fire stopping measures, rendering them ineffective. There are life safety implications – use the foam correctly and in the right situations to achieve conformity with the Building Regulations. It is the responsibility of the installer and individual responsible for the property to ensure that the product selected is suitable for its intended purpose.

A common mistake is for fire rated foam to be used in situations where intumescent sealant is better suited.Compliance Issues: Reputed organisations such as ASFP, BMTRADA, FIRAS, and IFE strongly recommend the removal and replacement of pink foam installations with authentic fire-rated alternatives. The primary concern lies in the difficulty of accurately tracing the product without conducting chemical composition testing. To ensure reliable fire safety measures, it is advisable to opt for fire-rated materials with suitable test data that can be easily identified and verified for their intended use.
