In this follow-up case study, I discuss the analysis of a spray-inject foam insulation which was installed in the wall cavity of a house, and the disastrous affects.

I am frequently tasked with evaluating foam insulation boards for construction and renovation projects. In this case study, I discuss the analysis of a water-soaked sample, and the surprising findings.

One of the first cases I was ever involved with was regarding high-quality timber doors that had been installed in a premier shopping mall. Shortly after installation, the paint on the doors began to peel, and the joinery who had performed the installation was forced to replace the doors at their own cost.
