MarketWatch (press release)

Several years ago the product was included in My Safe Florida Home a government program that highlights products proven to reduce hurricane damage on residential structures. In addition Foamseal(R) is used in the University of Florida’s four Windstorm Damage Mitigation Training and Demonstration Centers known as Hurricane Homes which feature storm-resistant construction methods and protective products” said Art Goldman ITW sales manager for engineered adhesive foam products. In addition the Citizen’s Property Insurance Corporation Florida’s state-organized insurance entity that serves high-risk areas has designated Foamseal(R) as a mitigating factor. As a result the use of the product reduces wind insurance premiums by up to 35 percent. When combined with other mitigation techniques and products wind insurance discounts can exceed 70%.
