Marine Insulation for Yachts, Cargo Ships, and Vessels

Maximize the performance, safety, and comfort of your yachts, big cargo ships, and other maritime vessels with Thuiseco’s closed-cell polyurethane foam insulation. Designed specifically for the marine industry, our high-performance foam provides flotation, thermal insulation, soundproofing, and structural support for vessels of all sizes—from luxury yachts to massive cargo ships. Operating across the Netherlands, Germany, Belgium, and the UK, Thuiseco ensures your vessel stays buoyant, energy-efficient, and protected in the harshest marine environments.

Why Insulate Yachts, Cargo Ships, and Vessels with Closed-Cell Polyurethane Foam?

Marine vessels face unique challenges: constant exposure to moisture, temperature fluctuations, engine noise, and the need for reliable buoyancy. Thuiseco’s closed-cell polyurethane foam is the industry-leading solution for these demands. With a 94–98% closed-cell structure, it resists water absorption, making it ideal for yachts, cargo ships, and other vessels. Our foam is U.S. Coast Guard-approved (Regulation #33 CFR 183.114) for marine use, ensuring compliance, safety, and durability for all maritime applications.

Benefits of Thuiseco’s Closed-Cell Polyurethane Foam

Permanent Flotation: Delivers up to 80 pounds of buoyancy per cubic foot, ensuring safety for yachts and cargo ships, even in emergencies.
Thermal Insulation: With an R-value of ~6.2 per inch, it reduces heat loss, saving up to €600 per year* on energy costs for heated cabins or cargo holds.
Soundproofing: Reduces engine noise, wave sounds, and port activity by up to 35%, creating a quieter environment on yachts and cargo ships.
Waterproof and Corrosion-Resistant: Protects against water, salt, oil, and solvents, preventing corrosion in aluminium, steel, and fiberglass vessels.
Structural Reinforcement: Adds rigidity to hulls, decks, and frame spots, enhancing stability and durability for all vessel types.
Eco-Friendly Option: Choose our biobased closed-cell foam to reduce environmental impact while maintaining top performance.
Versatile Applications: Ideal for yachts, cargo ships, ferries, fishing vessels, and other maritime structures.

Our Marine Insulation Solutions

Thuiseco offers specialized closed-cell polyurethane foam insulation for a wide range of maritime vessels, ensuring optimal performance, safety, and efficiency. Available in 2 lb., 4 lb., and 8 lb. densities, our foam is tailored to meet the specific needs of each vessel type, from luxury yachts to heavy-duty cargo ships.

Luxury Yachts

For luxury yachts, comfort and safety are paramount. We apply closed-cell polyurethane foam to insulate cabins, hulls, decks, and frame spots, providing thermal insulation (R-value ~6.2 per inch) and soundproofing (up to 35% noise reduction). The foam’s buoyancy (80 pounds per cubic foot) ensures safety, while its waterproof properties protect against condensation and corrosion, preserving the yacht’s interior and aluminium or fiberglass structure. Perfect for yacht owners seeking a quieter, more energy-efficient vessel.

Big Cargo Ships

Cargo ships require robust insulation to protect cargo holds, crew quarters, and engine rooms. Our closed-cell foam is sprayed or poured into hulls, decks, and bulkheads, offering thermal insulation to maintain stable temperatures for sensitive cargo and reduce energy costs for heated areas. The foam’s structural strength (compressive strength up to 60 psi) reinforces the ship’s framework, while its water resistance prevents rust in steel hulls, extending the vessel’s lifespan.

Ferries and Passenger Vessels

For ferries and passenger vessels, passenger comfort and safety are key. We insulate cabins, decks, and engine compartments with closed-cell foam, reducing noise from engines and waves while maintaining a comfortable temperature. The foam’s buoyancy ensures compliance with safety regulations, and its fire-resistant option (BS476 Part 7 Class 1) adds an extra layer of protection for passengers and crew.

Fishing Vessels

Fishing vessels operate in harsh conditions, requiring durable insulation. We apply closed-cell foam to insulate fish holds, cabins, and hulls, keeping catches fresh with stable temperatures and preventing ice buildup in cold climates. The foam’s resistance to water, oil, and solvents protects against corrosion, ensuring the vessel withstands the rigors of the fishing industry.

Other Vessels (Sailboats, Tugboats, etc.)

Our closed-cell foam is also ideal for sailboats, tugboats, and other vessels. We insulate hulls, decks, and frame spots, providing buoyancy, thermal insulation, and soundproofing. The foam’s lightweight nature (2 lb. density options) ensures it doesn’t add unnecessary weight to smaller vessels, while its structural benefits enhance stability in rough waters.

Eco-Friendly Option: BioBased Closed-Cell Foam

For environmentally conscious shipbuilders and owners, our biobased closed-cell polyurethane foam, made from renewable materials like soybean oil, offers the same high performance (R-value ~6.2 per inch, 80 pounds buoyancy per cubic foot) with a reduced carbon footprint. It’s perfect for green maritime projects, aligning with sustainability goals in the Netherlands, Germany, Belgium, and the UK.
