It has been an active summer for members of SPFA’s Building Envelope Committee and Roofing Committee.
As a result of the efforts of several volunteers, we are pleased to announce the publication of two new TechTips and a new TechDoc from the Building Envelope Committee. The new TechTips provide installation guidance in a short format on improving adhesion of SPF to engineered wood products, as well as guidance on the installation of SPF over wires and piping to reduce exothermic heat damage. The new TechDoc SPFA-153, “Spray Polyurethane Foam Insulation for Below Slab Applications” provides guidance for installation of closed-cell SPF below concrete slabs. Sub-slab insulation, installed before the concrete is poured, is an important application as building codes are increasing the requirements for insulation below sub-grade concrete slabs – especially in colder climates.
The Roofing Committee has been busy as well. In the 1990’s, SPFA developed the first SPF Roofing Brochure, AY-130. This document was last published in 1997. Recognizing the document needed to be updated, it was not included during the 2015 re-formatting of all of our TechDocs and briefly discontinued. After significant work with several Roofing Committee volunteers (Bruce Schenke, Jason Hoerter and Luke Nolan), and with support from our marketing consultant and graphic designer, we are pleased to publish the significantly updated SPFA-130 Roofing Brochure.
All of these TechTips and TechDocs are available for free download from the SPFA website here:

· TechDocs
Should you have any questions or comments about these new documents, or if you would like to participate in the document development and update process, contact any of our technical committee chairs or the SPFA Technical Director, Rick Duncan, rickduncan@sprayfoam.org.

The Spray Polyurethane Foam Alliance (SPFA) kicks off The Sprayfoam Show, its annual convention and expo, February 11 through 14 in Pasadena, California. This year, the largest annual event dedicated to spray polyurethane foam will feature two prominent keynote speakers: Stacey Hanke, author, certified speaking professional and leader of Stacey Hanke, Inc; and George Hedley, CSP CPBC, a top construction industry speaker, certified professional business coach, and author. Spanning four full days, The Sprayfoam Show also features education sessions, an annual awards luncheon, professional certification programs and numerous additional attractions.

Stacey Hanke is the author of two books: Influence Redefined…Be the Leader You Were Meant to Be, Monday to Mondayâ and Yes You Can! Everything You Need to Know from A to Z to Influence Others to Take Action.

George Hedley will present his keynote the morning of February 14. The author of Get Your Construction Business to Always Make a Profit! is a recognized authority on best practices for building a growing construction business into a company which consistently produces bottom-line results, profits and loyal high margin customers.

For the first time, this year’s event kicks off with a two-day SPF Street Festival for sprayfoam industry professionals. To be held February 11 and 12, the Street Festival will feature food trucks, carnival games, demonstrations, OSHA information sessions and SPF skills competitions.

Beware of pirates and poachers!
SPFA contracts for blocks of hotel rooms at discounted rates for the benefit of our attendees. Pirates and poachers not only jeopardize the show’s ability to meet its obligations, but also place attendees in danger of increased fees, credit card theft and phony reservations, resulting in no hotel room at all!
PIRATE: A fictitious business, often with a name like “Convention Housing Services.” A pirate will contact faculty, exhibitors or potential attendees. The pirate claims to be working with the show and will pressure you to reserve and pay for a hotel room immediately due to low inventory. They charge your credit card and also collect the information for future use but no hotel rooms are reserved.
POACHER: Hotel poachers, also known as third-party room-block marketing firms, often present themselves as either the official housing agency for a conference or authorized by it to book hotel reservations. A poacher offers hotel rooms outside of the show’s contracted block.
REMEMBER: SPFA WILL NOT TELEPHONE INDIVIDUALS REGARDING THE PURCHASE OF HOTEL RESERVATIONS.
PIRATES and POACHERS often misrepresent themselves by illegally using our logo.
