Serious code matter here..........
I have recently been made aware of that some of smaller foam suppliers have listed on their product data sheets that they have certain test approvals (ASTM,UL,FM,ETC) when in fact they DO NOT HAVE THEM. If they do not have their products listed with ICC it's a very good chance they have provided false documentation on those data sheets. This can put you in serious jeopardy if you use their foam, and get asked to provide the data they have listed for project approval. Call your supplier today and demand they send you copies of ALL their listed tests. I am removing thousands in foam right now to avoid having my pants sued off me.......... Lesson learned here in CT................ This is a very serious matter. |

In any industry, there are people looking to make a quick buck and cut corners. Not all foams are created equal. What exactly happened to you so that you are now removing foam? What documentation was needed that your supplier couldn't provide? |

uh,,call your lawyer,,,and sue their pants off... you have the docs showing what they represented to you as valid data,,,using that data you applied with no intention of circumventing the code,,,, DONT BE A NICE GUY,,,LIST THESE FOLKS NAMES,,,BRAND,,,PRODUCT,,,SALESPERSON,,DOCUMENTS YOU USED TO MAKE YOUR APPLICATION LIST IT HERE FOR ALL TO SEE,,,IT IS ABOUT ACCOUNTABILITY,,,LET THEM BE PUBLICLY HELD ACCOUNTABLE... maybe then our sysop,,doogles,,will not allow them to advertise on this site,,,maybe then the SPFA will make some sort of action against the company to assure correct and proper installation of spf,,,maybe then another hillbilly newbee foamer will go back to friggin lawncare |

My lawyer has already asked me NOT to mention who it is. But you can protect yourself by calling your suppliers and asking them to send you data on their testing. If they have an ICC report, like this company does NOT.... then your ok. ICC does the homework for you, to make sure the manufacture has done the testing and has proof. |
