Yes, it is recommended to leave the premises during spray foam application and wait for the recommended drying time before returning. This precaution ensures your safety and that of your family.
Why Leave the Premises?
Emissions During Application
During spray foam application, the chemical reaction between the two components releases vapors. These emissions are temporary but can be irritating to the respiratory systems of unprotected individuals.
Specialized Protection Equipment
Our technicians wear specialized respiratory protection equipment during application. This professional equipment is not available to the general public, hence the importance of leaving the premises.
Recommended Duration
During Application
It is essential to leave the work area throughout the entire application. The duration depends on the project scope, but can range from a few hours to a full day.
Drying Time
After application, we recommend waiting at least 24 hours before returning to the premises. This delay allows the spray foam to fully cure and residual emissions to dissipate.
Ventilation
Good ventilation of the premises after installation can accelerate the process. Our technicians will advise you on the best ventilation practices for your specific situation.
Pets
The same recommendations apply to pets. They must also be removed from the premises during installation and drying time. Animals may be more sensitive to emissions than humans.
