Spray on insulation

Written by Steel Building Pros on 14 July 2016.

Our customers are always asking about insulation for their steel buildings. A lot of them are suprised to find out there are multiple ways to have the building insulated. You can use traditional insulation methods, easier peg insulation methods and even spray on insulation. 

Today we're going to focus on the spray on insulation, showing you how it's done and what the end result looks like!

Getting started

If you decided Spray Foam is the right choice for your building, you have to decide if you're going to go the DIY route or hire a Professional to tackle the job for you. Smaller jobs will be easier for the DIY kind of person but if you're working on a bigger building, it may be best to have a professional spray your insulation. Either way make sure if you're in the area of the spraying being done, make sure to wear proper protective equipment and utilize good ventilation techniques.

As much as 40%

of a building’s energy is lost due to air infiltration. Gaps, holes and air leaks can make energy bills unnecessarily high. Spray foam performs as both insulation and an air barrier, closing gaps that let air escape and add dollars to monthly energy bills.

Spray foam prevents

moisture and condensation throughout the building, helping prevent mold and mildew. spray foam in the cavities of the walls increases durability of the wall system because of its ability to conform and adhere to the surface upon which it is sprayed. A wall with spray foam insulation is better able to maintain its shape under duress than a wall assembly without spray foam.

Spray foam can

help make your steel building more comfortable in many ways. Spray foam helps reduce noise pollution, letting you focus on your task at hand. Sealing up a steel building’s air leaks prevents drafts, creating a more comfortable indoor environment and providing better indoor temperature control.
