Benefits of Canned Spray Foam Insulation
If you’ve ever cracked open a 2-component (2K) foam kit just to insulate a small area—say, under stairs, around a pipe, or in an awkward attic nook—you’ve probably wondered: Isn’t there a better way to do this
There is. And it’s called Tytan Professional® Thermospray.
Thermospray is a single-component polyurethane spray foam that delivers professional-grade thermal and acoustic insulation without the tanks, hoses, waste, or inflated costs of 2K systems. Designed with contractors in mind, it fills a crucial gap in the insulation toolkit: jobs too small to justify dragging out the same system used for entire structures.
Here’s why more contractors are reaching for TYTAN Thermospray when the job is small, tight, or needs a quick, clean touchup.
7 Benefits of Thermospray Canned Spray Foam Insulation
1. Cost Savings That Actually Add Up
Let’s start with what everyone’s thinking: 2K foam kits are expensive. A standard 2K kit can run from $500 to $1,000 or even more, depending on the size and brand. The costs are worth it for large-scale jobs, but if you’re only insulating a few square feet, there’s too much waste. The costs of using a full kit, of course, but also the waste of unused material and the waste of time trying to preserve it between uses (often unsuccessfully).
Thermospray comes in 29 oz. cans and offers up to 21 board feet per can at 1-inch thickness. That means you only use—and pay for—what you need. In many cases, for small projects, Thermospray costs half as much per board foot compared to using a 2K kit or other canned spray foam insulation.
Small Project Example
An 8X12 shed would have required a $500 froth pack kit and left behind unused material. We insulated this shed with about 15 cans of Thermospray in under an hour—at a cost less than half of the previously mentioned alternatives.
2. Ideal for Small Jobs and Repairs
2K kits were never designed for touchups or small spaces—but that hasn’t stopped contractors from trying. Unfortunately, it often leads to frustration: clogged hoses, wasted material, and time spent troubleshooting instead of finishing the job.
Thermospray is different. It’s purpose-built for:
- Tight or hard-to-reach areas
- Spray foam repair around electrical boxes, pipes, and windows
- Under-stair and crawlspace insulation
- Patching missed spots or repairs post-inspection
- Small structures like garages, sheds, or mobile offices
When you’re moving between jobs and need to get in, get out, and get it done right, Thermospray is the more practical choice.
3. Professional-Grade Performance and Testing
Contractors can’t afford to sacrifice quality just because the job is small. Thermospray delivers where it counts:
- R-Value of 4-5 per inch, depending on application and environmental factors
- Sound blocking up to 62 dB
- Tested for air and vapor permeability, with results comparable to 2K systems
- Self-adhesive for strong surface grip—even on uneven or awkward substrates
At TYTAN, we knew contractors wouldn’t trust Thermospray unless it performed like a 2K foam—so we did the testing, and it does.
4. Seamless Application, No Thermal Bridges
One of Thermospray’s most underappreciated advantages is its application quality. Because it sprays as a continuous, self-expanding foam, you get a homogenous layer with no joints, gaps, or fasteners required. That reduces the risk of thermal bridging and ensures a clean, professional finish—even in irregular spaces.
It also means you can insulate surfaces that would otherwise be difficult or labor-intensive with batts, boards, or 2K setups.
5. No Tanks, No Hoses, No Headaches
Hauling tanks and troubleshooting hoses for a 100-square-foot, 20-minute job is overkill. Thermospray skips the mess and streamlines your workflow. Just:
- Shake the can for 30-45 seconds
- Attach it to a TYTAN-compatible applicator gun
- Pull the trigger and go
There are also kits available that include two guns, teams can work even faster on medium-sized jobs.
6. Less Waste, More Flexibility
Unused 2K kits are notoriously hard to store and reuse. Leave them too long between jobs and the hoses freeze or the chemicals solidify. Thermospray eliminates that problem. Use only what you need today—and save the rest for tomorrow’s touchup. With a shelf-stable, single-component formula, you control the yield and schedule.
7. A Smarter Tool for the Right Job
Thermospray won’t (and shouldn’t) replace a full rig on your next 5,000-square-foot commercial job because that’s not what it’s for.
It’s for the new home addition. The renovations with a few square feet to insulate. The attic vent that got missed on the first pass. The last-minute patch request. In those moments, contractors need a tool that’s:
- Affordable
- Fast
- Reliable
- Professional
That’s what Thermospray delivers.
