Although the installation process itself remains largely the same throughout the year, working conditions can vary considerably with the weather. Temperature, in particular, can affect how polyurethane foam expands, cures, and performs during application.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To help professional installers achieve reliable results in different conditions, PENOSIL offers two specialised window and door installation foams: <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/penosil.com\/uk\/product\/window-gun-foam-penosil-156\/\">Window &amp; Door Gunfoam 55 156<\/a><\/strong> and <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/penosil.com\/uk\/product\/all-season-installation-gun-foam-penosil-173\/\">Window &amp; Door Gunfoam 173<\/a><\/strong>. Both are designed to deliver professional installation performance, but each is optimised for a different temperature range.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Why Application Temperature Matters<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Polyurethane foam is sensitive to the conditions in which it is applied. Ambient temperature can influence foam expansion, curing time, cell structure, adhesion, and overall ease of application. Using a foam suited to the temperature on site helps installers maintain control during application and achieve consistent sealing and insulation results.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For this reason, choosing a foam according to the season and working conditions can be more effective than using the same product throughout the year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>PENOSIL Window &amp; Door Gunfoam 55\u00a0156<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-media-text is-stacked-on-mobile\" style=\"grid-template-columns:15% auto\"><figure class=\"wp-block-media-text__media\"><a href=\"https:\/\/penosil.com\/uk\/product\/window-gun-foam-penosil-156\/\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"523\" height=\"1080\" src=\"https:\/\/penosil.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/17\/2023\/04\/156_Window_26_Door_Gunfoam_55_156_UK.png\" alt=\"PENOSIL Window &amp; Door Gunfoam 55 156 high yield window installation gun foam product image\" class=\"wp-image-26599 size-full\" srcset=\"https:\/\/penosil.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/17\/2023\/04\/156_Window_26_Door_Gunfoam_55_156_UK.png 523w, https:\/\/penosil.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/17\/2023\/04\/156_Window_26_Door_Gunfoam_55_156_UK-250x516.png 250w, https:\/\/penosil.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/17\/2023\/04\/156_Window_26_Door_Gunfoam_55_156_UK-120x248.png 120w, https:\/\/penosil.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/17\/2023\/04\/156_Window_26_Door_Gunfoam_55_156_UK-87x180.png 87w, https:\/\/penosil.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/17\/2023\/04\/156_Window_26_Door_Gunfoam_55_156_UK-300x620.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 523px) 100vw, 523px\" \/><\/a><\/figure><div class=\"wp-block-media-text__content\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/penosil.com\/uk\/product\/window-gun-foam-penosil-156\/\">PENOSIL Window &amp; Door Gunfoam 55 156<\/a><\/strong> is designed for standard and warm installation conditions.

They deliver nearly identical yield, excellent insulation properties, and low curing pressure, ensuring reliable installation performance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The key difference lies in their recommended application temperature ranges. Window &amp; Door Gunfoam 55 156 is optimised for standard and warm conditions up to +40\u00b0C, while Window &amp; Door Gunfoam 173 extends installation capability into colder weather down to -5\u00b0C.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">By choosing the right foam for the season &#8211; or stocking both products &#8211; professionals can ensure efficient application, reliable performance, and high-quality installations regardless of the weather.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Window and door installation demands precision, consistent application, and reliable materials.
