A readily available polyurethane-based sealant and insulation material is sold at a major home improvement retailer. This product is dispensed as a liquid or gel that expands and hardens upon application, creating an airtight and waterproof barrier. Common applications include sealing gaps around windows and doors, insulating pipes, and filling voids in walls or foundations to prevent drafts and pest intrusion.
The accessibility of this product enables homeowners and professionals to quickly and effectively address insulation and sealing needs. Its use can lead to reduced energy consumption through minimizing heat loss or gain. Historically, similar materials were primarily available through specialized contractors, but the widespread retail availability has democratized access to this effective solution for weatherization and construction.
