Spray Insulation

There's a good chance that what you saw was sprayed on fireproofing.

Hello,

Please allow me to repeat myself for the benefit of yet another thrilling experience of your =EF=BB=BFgenius knowledge and answering expertise: When i asked them what it was they said itwas "Insulation" sprayed on first, then the entire ceiing (which was the open roof, rafters, heat ducts electricity etc. (Danish Modern style)) was spray painted. So who is it that you are calling the liar, me or them?

Please allow me to tell you to go f*ck yourself.

Forget your meds this morning? Looks to me as if someone was discussing possibilities.. I never saw where they called you a liar. ForWhatIt'sWorth... This is where you, or I, can find some real good information. The good part about it is you can read what they are saying, and go from there.

Unless someone sent you an email offline. That may explain your response. my2c..

Hello, Obviously this once great group has gone to the slobbering dogs of Corporate Society.

Ha, that explains everything...

The confusion others expressed was the thickness of the "insulation". Fire retardant is usually a greyish-white material that looks like thick paint. Spray foam insulation is thicker than paint, typically looks yellow, I think, although it may come in a variety of colors depending upon manufacturer. Both a probably paintable, and the insulation does have some fire resistance properties since flammable material for insulation is not good. Both also seal should seal off vapor and reduce termite access to wood material. Try this link for the insulation :

I'm a construction administrator for one of the largest commercial architects in Baltimore. The thickness you are describing tells me that it can't be insulation. Insulation value is derived from trapped air space. That's why batt insulation works better than bead board.

It's possible that its spray fireproofing but I doubt that to, since most paints are flammable and spray fire proofing also works on the principle of trapped air space to dissipate heat quicker.

It sound like a Tnemec paint system (cement spelled backwards) or something similar. It's a very heavy cement based paint used to provide a rock hard seal. It can be used on metal or wood.

Without seeing it, it's hard to make a judgment but here's one more opinion for you.
