Commonly, you will want to apply 1" of foam to the interior of the outside walls and add a batt to fill in the rest of the cavity.
To calculate how much spray foam you will need for open frame walls:
1. Measure your outside walls length x height to get your raw square footage.
2. Measure the doors and windows for the total square footage of each
3. Subtract the total square footage of the windows and doors and subtract that from the raw square footage of the walls
4. Take that number and subtract 10% for the studs.
Example: You have a house that is 40'x20' with 8' walls. Say there's 120 sq. ft. of windows and doors.
40+40+20+20 = 120 x 8' = 960 total sq. ft. in the outside walls
960-120= 840 sq. ft.
840 x 10% = 756 sq. ft. of area that needs to be coated in foam
This job would require one TF-600 kit and one TF-200 kit.

Technical Information
Unless otherwise stated, the density of TIGER FOAM is 1.75 lbs. per cubic foot.
Tiger Foam two component foams are rated at R-Value of 6.2-7.4 per inch (depends on the external factors such as humidity and temperature during the application and curing).
The size of the kit, i.e. 600 or 200, is indicative of the board foot coverage or expanded yield for that kit. Thus, a 600 kit will cover 600 square feet at 1" thick. A board foot as it relates to this product is a square foot one inch thick. The kit size is yield of the kit expanded.
The conversion to cubic foot yield for these kits is generally 600 yields 50 cubic feet and 200 yields 16 cubic feet of foam.
To convert gallons to cubic feet for filling liquid tanks with foam (for EPA membranes, flotation devises etc.), multiply gallons by 0.1337. So a 500 gallon tank would need 66.85 cu to fill the tank requiring a TF600SR and TF-200 for a total of 66 cu. yield.
Tiger Foam contains NO Penta-BDEs as a fire retardant and are both E-84 Fired Rated

Consumer Recommendations
"I just got done completing my basement wall with the Tiger Foam (FR), 600 sq ft before finishing the walls. I was pleasantly surprised how nice this product is. After warming the room and the tanks (using a space heater and a gas fireplace) I fininshed 600 sq ft in perhaps 40 minutes. I changed the tips every 10 minutes or so just to keep from clogging. It expanded and hardened in 5 minutes and sealed the walls excellent. The mist and smell was minimal. I absolutely recommend this product!"
"The challenge for cottage country is that the extra cost to have a contractor do the spray foam is excessive. The solution was a DIY spray foam kit that I found from Tiger Foam. Purchasing from Tiger Foam was an absolute delight!" - Cottage on the Edge
"Just finished spraying the basement of our 190yr old house. Great product. Did exactly what you claimed it would do. Heat & shake, spray away. Thanks guys & gals, I'm looking forward for a "warmer" experience this winter."
