There are certainly interesting advantages to using polyurethane foam as floor insulation. Because it's a foam, it's very easy to apply to all the nooks, crannies, and crevices. This creates completely seamless insulation. Pipes don't pose any obstacles; the foam easily conforms to them. Polyurethane foam is moisture-resistant, making it ideal for use in crawl spaces, where damp conditions are common.

In addition, it has a high insulation value, with a lambda value of 0.026 W/m*K. It's easy to apply and doesn't have to be expensive. Polyurethane foam is also perfect for retrofitting.
