SPFA Publishes New Marketing Brochure for SPF Insulation
January 28, 2020
SPFA Marketing Committee and SPFA staff along with input from a major builder, has published a new Insulation Marketing brochure, SPFA-154. This four-page color brochure targets the residential homeowner audience, highlighting the key benefits of SPF insulation. This new document file is in PDF form and can be printed on both sides of an 11x17 page and folded to create useful content for SPF contractors as well as builders using SPF in residential applications. SPFA-154 follows the format of the updated SPFA-130 Roofing Marketing brochure, released earlier in 2019.
Printed copies of both the roofing and insulation marketing brochures will be included with the attendee registration package at Spray Foam 2020, and both will be available for download after the conference from the SPFA website.
Should you have any questions about this new publication, please contact Rick Duncan (SPFA Technical Director) rickduncan@sprayfoam.org
SPFA believes that the path to a healthful, safe, high-quality and performing SPF installation travels through the hands of a knowledgeable, trained, experienced, and ideally PCP-certified professional contractor.
