Who prepared and checked the content
Authors and Reviewers
Our editorial byline identifies the publication responsible for the content. The review record explains the methods used and the work completed.
Spray Foam Guides editorial team
The editorial team researches primary documents, structures decision paths, maintains source and recommendation records, checks internal consistency, and publishes corrections. This organizational byline is not a substitute for a named building scientist, industrial hygienist, installer, architect, engineer, or code official.
Technical source review
The editorial team checked the guide library and glossary against the primary sources listed on the site. The work covered technical statements, source support, internal consistency, examples, and diagram wording. Findings and corrections are listed in the dated technical review record.
Page-level status
Review states describe separate work:
- Editorial source check: content was compared with its listed evidence.
- Technical source review: the recorded version received the source-based review described above. Its scope and findings are linked from the guide.
- Independent specialist review: no qualified, named third-party reviewer has yet signed off on pages marked pending. This remains a separate process.

Reviewer recruitment standard
Future reviewers must use their real name, describe relevant qualifications and scope, disclose conflicts, and approve specific dated pages. Their profile will list what they reviewed and what their review does not establish. Paid review, if used, will be disclosed and will not guarantee a favorable conclusion.
Qualified specialists interested in a defined review lane can contact the editorial team with their qualifications, proposed scope, availability, and conflicts.
