520			_aThe RICS spray foam guide educates the public on the pros and cons of spray foam installation, following many years of research into the effects of this material, helping consumer confidence in making informed decisions. This informative guide covers topics such as what effects spray foam might have on a property’s roof structure, thermal performance and value - do’s and don’ts when installing insulation to your home, and how RICS-accredited members can help assess your property. The guide has been produced to inform the public about spray foam insulation after several high-profile Trading Standards cases recently reported in the media highlighted poor standards of work, illegal modifications to listed buildings and high-pressure selling to vulnerable groups, such as the elderly. Moreover, there has been concern within specific sectors of the lending market, such as equity release mortgages, which is now having a wider impact on lenders.
