Adhesives, Sealants & Foam: choosing well

Ordinary foam is not a fire stop. Where a fire seal is required use a tested fire-rated product and install it as tested.

Ventilation

Some adhesives and foams give off fumes while curing; use them in a ventilated space.

Quantities: a worked example

Sealing round 3 windows of about 1.2 × 1.2 m is roughly 14.4 m of joint. A 310 ml cartridge runs about 3 m of a 10 × 10 mm bead, so allow 5 cartridges of frame sealant.
