In this short video, Curt Janzen of Beyond explains a Canadian practice that could streamline U.S. construction inspections. Canadian builders purchase 2‑pound closed‑cell spray foam that is dyed in brand‑specific colors—green, purple, or gold. Inspectors are trained to recognize each color as an indicator that the foam meets the national building code, allowing them to quickly verify compliance on site. Janzen notes that this color‑coding simplifies the inspection checklist and reduces ambiguity about product approval. He also mentions that he has documented the approach in an article for Spray Foam Magazine and on Beyond’s blog, providing further details for industry professionals.

This is what we're teaching the US about construction. Hey there, I'm Curt with Beyond. Up in Canada, we purchase materials, our 2-pound closed-cell foam, that have a dye to them, each individual to the brand, and this helps inspectors identify it immediately as being a product made for use in our building code. The reason why it works so well is building inspectors get educated on what the color green is, what the color purple is, what the color gold is, and it makes it really easy for them to identify it and check it it off as being an approved product. I actually wrote a little bit of an article on this, real words coming from me, which is pretty fun. You can see those in the Spray Foam Magazine and also on our blog.
