Spray Foam Day at the Minnesota Capitol brought together industry professionals for a focused effort to engage lawmakers and move key priorities forward. Manufacturers, sales reps, and contractors showed up to lead the conversation in St. Paul, highlighting the benefits and resilience of spray foam insulation.
The event, organized by the Spray Foam Coalition in partnership with the Spray Polyurethane Foam Alliance (SPFA) and Spray Foam World Wide, centered on promoting unvented attics and raising industry standards across the state. The goal was straightforward: educate policymakers and ensure the industry has a voice in decisions that impact building practices and energy efficiency.
Forty members of the spray foam industry took time away from their busy work schedules to participate, meeting with close to 50 elected officials throughout the day. These conversations focused on how spray foam is used in construction today, the role of unvented attics, and the industry’s contribution to Minnesota’s economy.
There was strong support from lawmakers for HF3129 and SF3730, signaling meaningful progress for the industry’s priorities in Minnesota. These bills represent an important step toward clarifying building practices and supporting the broader adoption of unvented attic systems, which continue to gain traction in modern construction. The level of engagement around both bills highlights the importance of connecting with local legislators to demonstrate how these policies affect real people.
Spray Foam Day reinforced the importance of showing up and engaging directly. With continued participation, the industry is in a solid position to keep building awareness and influence future policy discussions in Minnesota, and across the country.
