Spray Foam Insulation is perfect for Sea Cans

Spray foam insulation has a high R-value, which means it provides superior insulation compared to other insulation types. By creating a continuous and seamless insulation layer, spray foam can prevent thermal bridging and air leakage, resulting in a greater R-value and better energy efficiency.

The images below show a couple of sea cans we sprayed recently that we top-coated with DC315 Thermal barrier. This was a 2″ application of the Genyk Boreal Nature Elite. The customer is storing a lot of equipment they need to keep warm during the winter and this will help them with that for sure.

If you’re considering insulating your sea cans with spray foam, be sure to work with a qualified and experienced contractor who can provide a customized solution that meets your specific needs.

Best R-value per inch of any readily available insulation

Closed-cell spray foam insulation has the best R-value per inch and cost of any readily available insulation. Closed-cell spray foam is not vapor permeable and will not hold water, it expands to seal gaps, cracks and voids in walls and ceilings, and blocks air leaks better than other forms of insulation.

Insul Foam Services recently completed a unique application for a local welding shop — a custom cab module. Lots of prep means quicker clean-up times and looks cleaner as a result. In the images below is a 3″ application of our Class 1 closed cell spray foam.

If you have a project you’re considering insulating, but have questions or need more information, give us a call at 403-993-4997. We’re here to help.

Warm & Cozy Garage

Here’s another residential project we worked on for one of our residential customers and this project made me a little jealous I must say.

In the image below our customer added 3′ to the height of his garage to accommodate a vehicle hoist. Being that it has a flat roof the only way to insulate those is to apply close cell spray foam direct to the underside of sheathing. They requested we do all the walls as well while we were at it so the whole garage is now completely spray foamed with Genyk Boreal Nature Elite closed cell foam. This project was 6″ under roof and 2″ in the 2 x 4 walls.

Some of the key benefits of spray foam include expands to seal gaps, cracks and voids in walls and ceilings, blocks air leaks better than other forms of insulation, material is denser than other forms of insulation creating a tight, impenetrable barrier to air infiltration and leaks, will not slip out of place overtime compared to other conventional insulation and adds structural strength. Without a doubt this garage will be a warm and cozy environment!

Your cargo van will thank you!

Cargo vans are undeniably versatile workhorses, but anyone who’s had to endure bone-chilling mornings in one knows they can be downright frigid. In the quest to battle the cold, Insul Foam Services applied their top-notch spray foam insulation to the van’s interior, effectively sealing in precious heat. But that’s not all – they didn’t overlook the often underestimated wheel wells either. A key detail, insulating the wheel wells not only enhances thermal comfort but also dramatically reduces road noise, making those long drives considerably more peaceful.

The images below showcase multiple cargo vans that were repurposed. We were able to work on 3 simultaneously for a local customer, Toys For Trucks, who outfit trucks and vans with all the accessories out there.

Oilfield Spray Foam Applications

Insul Foam Services has been applying spray foam insulation, polyurethane foams and protective coatings since 1979. We have many years of experience in oilfield applications and in many different areas within the industry.

In the images below we sprayed another large skid with a 3″ application of our Class 1 spray foam. Nice to see local companies getting lots of work for our Alberta Oil and Gas industry. Let’s hope it continues!
