Question about Pink foam sheets from Home Depot
The only Dow Pink Foam (Foamular) sheets that my local Home Depot carries are the thin ~0.5 inch type. Does anyone have the SKU (stock keeping unit) for the thicker type that you can get in the more Northern stores? I'm going to try and convince my local store to carry a pallet when it gets colder here.
Thanks, Steve |

Steve,
I don't know if it matters when trying to order the foam. But the Pink Foamular foam is made by Owens Corning not Dow. All of the Dow foam that I have seen is blue. I'm also attaching a picture of the bar code for a 2" thick Foamular 250 sheet. This came from a Home Depot in Phillipsburg, NJ. Good Luck, Doug |

Gene, if you need some we can get it if you can get it back down to SD. For the money, though, unless you're bagging light without sheeting 25 psi ('square edge') will do you just as well, is easier to get, and easier to cut. Nauga, who has stocked up on a variety |

The thing that really p*%^$$ me off is that I called both Dow and Owens to try and find a distributor for the stuff and they don't have a clue who they actually sell the stuff to. It's amazing. I have some relatives in Michigan and I figured some place up there would carry it, but nope neither Dow nor Owens could give me the name of a distributor. I guess if you live South of the Arctic circle then you can't get the stuff.
I also tried some of the "known" online stores like thermal foam and another place and I got zero response from one of them and the other place wanted almost $70/sheet shipped for a 2'x8' 2inch sheet. Anyone want to try and do a group buy of a pallet? I think it's around $1300. I believe the largest box that UPS will work with is 2'x4'x17" or so. I checked the shipping price and it would be ~$10 to ship a box from Michigan to Texas. You could fit 4 of the 2inch sheets cut in half and ship it across the US for under $20! There is a store in Houston that sells the stuff (read: they can order some) but you HAVE to buy it by the pallet. Steve |

Sorry Steve - no mystery, it's just that I've posted this information many times and I was always chastised for telling people who don't live in Houston how to find it in Houston...
2 sources in the Houston area, both with really friendly and helpful people: Ryder Insulation - http://houston.citysearch.com/profil...orporated.html Houston Foam Plastics - big site with lots of buildings so you may have to hunt around to find the office. http://www.houstonfoam.com/ If you still can't find these, send me a PM Good luck, -Keith |
