Matt Kenner Posted: Oct 01, 2009 12:15 PM	parking deck spray foam Mason, i thought i read somewhere in the code book about spray foam insulation and needing a barrier for applications on the ceiling of a parking deck. Anyways, my question is whether a thermal barrier is required when applying 2lb spray foam to the ceiling of a parking deck. The ceiling doubles as the first floor for condominiums that are directly over the parking deck. Thanks.
