What is specific about Aldarb for spray foam insulation
The centre of Aldarb sits about 79 m above sea level (SRTM open elevation data). Aldarb is about 18.7 km from the sea coast (OpenStreetMap).
Imagine an owner who has bought a small apartment block and rents out the units to families and single professionals. The walls are warm in the afternoon and the flats lose their cool air quickly, so tenants ask for better comfort and the owner wants lower bills and fewer complaints. Spray foam insulation can tackle this, but the owner needs a clear plan before any work starts.
The facts about Aldarb matter here. The centre of Aldarb sits about 79 m above sea level, and Aldarb is about 18.7 km from the sea coast. For an apartment owner, this means the building is inland and set on higher ground, so the work should focus on keeping heat in and dealing with the sun on exposed walls and roofs, rather than assuming the sea air will drive the same damp problems seen in coastal towns. Spray foam for apartments in Aldarb typically costs SAR 20–45 per m², which gives the owner a planning range to compare against other options such as XPS boards at SAR 12–30 per m² or a bitumen membrane at SAR 15–35 per m².
Start by walking through each flat and the roof with a notebook, marking cracks, damp patches and rooms that feel hot. Where there are cracks, price crack injection at SAR 40–120 per metre before the foam goes on, so the surface is sound. Next, measure the external wall and roof areas and ask two or three installers for written quotes based on the same square-metre figures. Check that each quote states the thickness of foam, how the work will be done without disturbing tenants, and who clears the site afterwards. Finally, schedule the work room by room, begin with the top-floor flats and the roof, and record temperatures before and after so the owner can show tenants the difference.
In apartment buildings, the floor below is often where a leak shows first.

Tools we use in Aldarb
| Tool | What it finds | When we use it in Aldarb |
|---|---|---|
| Roof, falls and drains survey | Ponding areas and the condition of the old layer | Limits: shows the condition, not the material alone |
| Thickness measurement at spread-out points | Whether the thickness in the quote was achieved | Limits: for foam and liquid-applied layers |
| Flood test | Whether the waterproofing holds before it is covered | Limits: for roofs with drains and wet areas before tiling |
The steps in order
- Survey: Joints, fixings and gutters are checked.
- Preparation: The surface is cleaned and dried.
- Spraying in layers: Foam is applied in passes to the agreed thickness.
- Protection: A UV-resistant top coat protects the foam.
