Construction Foam in Jeddah | Construction Foam Supplier Jeddah

Construction Foam in Jeddah from Nassguard includes FF197 Fire Rated PU Construction Foam, a single-component polyurethane foam for sealing suitable door-frame gaps and linear joints in fire-rated construction. It expands after application and cures into a semi-rigid seal.

Nassguard supplies FF197 construction foam across Jeddah, Riyadh, Dammam, Jubail and Al Khobar. It suits contractors and maintenance teams who need a gap-filling product with tested fire performance, provided the installation matches the appropriate joint or doorset configuration.

What Is FF197 Fire Rated PU Construction Foam?

FF197 is a modified, single-component polyurethane foam designed for specified construction joints and frame-perimeter seals. Its expanding action helps fill irregular spaces that would otherwise be difficult to seal uniformly.

The cured foam contributes to the performance of a tested fire-sealing assembly. However, the achievable fire resistance depends on the wall or floor construction, joint width, foam depth and any required finishing sealant.

Selected linear-joint arrangements achieve up to four hours of fire resistance. This rating does not apply automatically to every gap filled with FF197.

Key Features of FF197 Construction Foam

FF197 PU foam combines convenient application with tested performance for suitable building-joint details.

• Single-component formulation: Requires no separate component mixing before application.
• Expanding gap filler: Helps fill suitable frame perimeters and linear construction joints.
• Tested fire resistance: Achieves up to 240 minutes in specified linear-joint configurations.
• Door-frame applications: Supports assessed fire-door perimeter details, including selected gaps up to 35mm.
• Gun or nozzle application: The 2-in-1 canister allows application using a suitable foam gun or nozzle.
• Fast surface skin formation: Becomes tack-free in approximately 10 minutes under suitable conditions.
• Acoustic performance: Offers up to 62dB in tested arrangements.
• Thermal insulation: Helps reduce heat transfer through the filled joint.

Applications of Construction Foam in Jeddah

FF197 Fire Rated PU Construction Foam supports gap sealing where the construction detail falls within its tested or assessed application scope.

• Fire-door installation in Jeddah: Seal approved gaps between door frames and surrounding construction.
• Commercial projects in Riyadh: Complete specified linear-joint seals within fire-rated areas.
• Industrial buildings in Dammam: Support suitable joint-sealing details during construction and refurbishment.
• Facility upgrades in Jubail: Replace damaged or incomplete seals using an appropriate assessed detail.
• Fit-out projects in Al Khobar: Seal suitable frame perimeters within compartmentation works.
• Schools and healthcare buildings: Support specified fire-sealing arrangements around suitable openings.
• Residential developments: Fill approved construction gaps during installation and finishing.
• Maintenance projects: Repair existing seals after checking the substrate, dimensions and required fire performance.

FF197 is a fire-rated joint-sealing foam. For waterproofing for basement construction, specify a dedicated waterproofing system designed for the expected water exposure and pressure.

Standards and Tested Fire Performance

• BS EN 1366-4 — Linear Joint Seals: FF197 has been tested for linear-joint fire resistance, achieving up to four hours in specified configurations.
• BS EN 1634-1 — Door and Shutter Assembly Fire Tests: FF197 has been tested in fire-door perimeter arrangements; the achievable rating depends on the complete assessed assembly.

Preparing and Sealing Construction Joints

A dependable construction seal requires correct preparation and a joint detail that matches the required performance.

• Confirm the joint arrangement: Check the substrate, orientation, width, depth and required fire rating.
• Check additional components: Include finishing sealants or backing materials wherever the assessed detail requires them.
• Clean the surfaces: Remove loose particles, dust, grease and unstable material.
• Protect adjacent finishes: Mask areas that must remain free of expanding foam.
• Check application temperatures: Keep both the work area and canister within their specified limits.
• Apply with controlled flow: Allow for expansion and avoid leaving concealed voids.
• Allow sufficient curing: Trim only when the foam is ready, without reducing the required seal depth.
• Complete the specified finish: Protect or cover the foam as required by the installation detail.

Use suitable protective equipment and ventilation during application. The pressurised aerosol is flammable, so keep it away from ignition sources.

Inspection, Maintenance and Storage

Routine checks help preserve the condition of fire-rated construction seals.

• Inspect for gaps, separation or damage after installation.
• Record the joint location and installation detail for future maintenance.
• Reinspect after nearby alterations, including frame replacement or building work.
• Repair using a compatible assessed arrangement, rather than adding an unspecified filler.
• Check expiry dates before using stored canisters.
• Store in a cool, dry location within the specified temperature range.
• Avoid hot vehicles and direct sunlight, particularly during Saudi summer conditions.
