What Is the Best Graco Spray Foam Gun?
By Kevin MaloneOne of the questions we get all the time from contractors is, “What is the best insulation spray foam equipment?” If you ask your contractor friends, you might get different answers, depending on their job type and how much they like the equipment they have.
When it comes to spray foam guns, the real answer is that the best gun is the one that works for you. Typically, we will ask a few specific questions to determine your usage requirements to make a recommendation.
Graco spray foam guns are almost always at the top of the list, however. With a stellar reputation, Graco spray foam guns are true workhorses. They stand up over time, can take a beating, and provide consistent quality. Contractor and commercial-grade guns can last five years or longer with proper care and maintenance.
Choosing the Best Insulation Spray Foam Equipment
To find the best fit for you, here are some of the key questions to consider:
- What type of materials do you plan to use?
Some guns handle open-cell or closed-cell foam better than others. - How big are the jobs you do?
You also have a choice when it comes to chamber size. Bigger chambers hold more volume, but they also weigh more. - How do you avoid operator fatigue?
Fatigue is a real issue. It can wear your operator down, especially during big jobs, and create quality and safety concerns. You need a spray foam gun that is ergonomic and handles well. - Do you need adjustable spray patterns?
The ability to adjust spray nozzles for different patterns can add versatility and flexibility to your job. The more precisely you can spray, the less waste you will have. - How reliable is a spray foam gun?
The last thing you want is insulation spray foam equipment that breaks down on the job and causes downtime or project delays. You want equipment that is easy to access and clean and has available replacement parts.
The answers to these questions can help narrow your focus and let you find the right insulation spray foam equipment for your business. We often recommend Graco spray foam guns because of their durability, flexibility, and ergonomic design.
