The opportunity
One rig. A lot of markets.
Spray foam is not one job — it is a dozen. Most new applicators start with one market and add others as the rig pays for itself.
Residential retrofit
Attics, crawl spaces, rim joists and basements — the highest-payback upgrades in an existing home.
New construction
Builders and remodelers sub out wall and roof-deck foam on every house they frame.
Metal buildings & ag
Shops, pole barns, livestock and storage buildings fighting condensation and temperature swings.
Commercial roofing
SPF roof systems sprayed over existing roofs, then recoated — repeat work by design.
Concrete lifting
Polyurethane slab raising for driveways, walks and floors with a small, mobile setup.
Polyurea coatings
Spec the rig right and the same platform sprays protective polyurea — bedliners, floors, tanks.
What you get
Everything between you
and your first job.
The foam
ArmorFoam open-cell (0.5 lb) and closed-cell (2 lb), plus roofing, high-density and lifting foams — and the polyurea topcoats that protect exposed foam.

The training
Hands-on training, on-site or virtual, covering safety, rig setup, mixing, application and troubleshooting — ending in certification.

Board feet & material sets
Spray foam is bought and sold by the board foot — one square foot, one inch thick. Size a job and see roughly how many ArmorFoam sets it takes.

Field yield

Set yields use ArmorFoam's published coverage at perfect yield — about 5,000 board feet per set of 2 lb closed-cell and about 17,000 for 0.5 lb open-cell. Temperature, substrate, rig setup and technique all pull real-world yield lower.
Startup FAQ
The questions everyone asks first.

How much does it cost to start?
It depends almost entirely on the rig: a trailer versus a box truck, the proportioner size, generator and how much hose you need. ArmorThane quotes rig and startup packages around what you plan to spray and your budget, so the fastest way to a real number is a short conversation.
Is there a franchise fee or royalty?
No. You own your business and your customers. You buy equipment and material; there is no franchise fee and no ongoing royalty.
Do I need a license or certification?
Requirements vary by state and city. Many jurisdictions require a contractor license, and OSHA requires respirator medical evaluation, fit testing and hazard training before anyone sprays. Industry certification such as the SPFA Professional Certification Program builds with experience. ArmorThane training ends in certification and covers the safety basics.
Can one rig spray foam and polyurea?
Yes, if it is specced for it. Polyurea and spray foam both run through heated plural-component proportioners, so a rig can be set up to handle both and give you two lines of work.
I have no experience. Is that a problem?
Plenty of successful applicators started from zero. Training covers safety, chemistry, rig operation and application technique, and the tech line is there when a job throws you a curveball.
