Insul Foam PSC Tankcoat

When you think about it if spray foam is a great way to keep your home insulated against severe cold why wouldn’t you use it to insulate other things?

For instance this heavy duty tanker truck needed the tank to be protected against the Alberta extremes.

We spray foamed the tank with a PSC Tankcoat over top and this very busy company was secure from the frigid winter cold and the heat of the midday summer sun.

Mechanical Room Spray Foam Insulation

We recently completed insulating a mechanical room that required a lot of prep.

To protect lots of mechanical and electrical we did 4″ of Genyk Boreal Elite on this one with DTM bonding primer and DC315 intumescent coating over top as a thermal barrier.

While we probably frustrated a few people with the noise and blocking off the back alley it turned out really good.

Spray foam insulation should be top of the list when considering insulation for your utility room. Insul Foam Services specializes in spray foam applications for residential & commercial areas. Call us today at 403-248-6616 for a FREE estimate.

Big Rig Cab Extension

Cab extensions to big rig cab’s is a common addition to make a rig drivers time on the road a little more comfortable.

With extended time on the road, sometimes over a month, professional truck drivers spend extended periods of time inside their rig. A cab extension can make the interior of the cab seam almost like a small apartment and greatly adds to the drivers quality of life.

Insul Foam Services insulated this cab extension, created by 4E Welding and Design in Aldersyde, to keep the interior at the perfect temperature in any weather condition.

The Best Insulation For A Flat Roof Building

 Flat-Roof-Insulation-InsulfoamSpray foam insulation is really a great insulator for flat roof buildings. Most R-values are around R-6 to R-7. Spray foam has the best R-value per inch of any readily available insulation which allows you to fit more insulation in a tighter space. Homeowners can use smaller, more energy efficient heating and cooling systems and achieve the same level of comfort resulting in noticeably lower monthly utility bills.

Additional benefits of spray foam insulation:

  • Seals out dust and pollen
  • Expands to seal gaps, cracks and voids in walls and ceilings
  • Blocks air leaks better than other forms of insulation
  • Will not slip out of place overtime compared to other conventional insulation
  • Material is denser than other forms of insulation creating a tight, impenetrable barrier to air infiltration and leaks
  • Adds structural strength
  • Materials meet building code requirements and are accepted nationwide

Spray foam insulation should be top of the list when considering insulation for your flat roof. Insul-Foam Services specializes in spray foam applications for residential home builds. Call us today at 403-248-6616 for a FREE estimate.

Using your cargo van as a service vehicle?

Cargo vans are great but they can be extremely cold…brrrr

The cargo van in the images below is being used as a plumbing service vehicle. It definitely wasn’t too comfy on some of those early minus 30 degree mornings that we’ve been known to experience during Alberta winters.

Insul-Foam Services spray foamed the interior to keep the heat in, and also sprayed an often missed but critical item, the wheel wells. Spray Foam is not only a great insulator against the cold but it can also greatly reduce road noise when applied to the wheel wells of a standard cargo van.

Spray foam insulation should be installed by an expert for the best results. Call Insul-Foam at 403-248-6616 to arrange an appointment today.

Mine Manager’s Home – Canmore, Alberta

On this job we helped a builder seal up a foundation issue from the outside. They did a great job furring out the foundation for us to add a three inch minimum application of closed cell spray foam. We also added a two inch application over the existing two inch polystyrene that was installed under the front vestibule. This will make a huge difference for this very interesting old home. It’s called the Mine Manager’s Home – one of three heritage homes in Canmore, Alberta.
