expanding foam isn't very dense, why not pound shop bathroom sealant?

I would think it would probably add about 20-30 Kgs to the cabinets weight, a litre of silicon weighs about 1Kg

yeh true, but if expanding foam does it surely you could pack it with polyfill or fibreglass. seems kind of wrong to use something that expands with enough force to lift a subsided house.
