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.

Benefits of Spray Foaming a Floor System

Do you have an older floor system or a new basement reno?

If you have an older floor system? Maybe even an addition that isn’t on a foundation?

Spray foam can create a greater R-factor and insulate your floor system whether existing or on a new build renovation.

Insul-Foam Services spray foamed this older home addition to keep the new living area warm and cozy.

If you have any questions please feel free to contact us at 403-248-6616. We’d be happy to provide you with more information and/or a FREE quote.

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.

For more information about your next reno or insulation upgrade give us a shout 403-248-6616. We’re here to be of service for all your spray foam application needs.

Closed-cell spray foam application

We recently spray foamed a basement in a 108 year old home. I’m sure that the addition of the closed-cell spray foam (Genyk Boreal Nature) will change the feel of this basement in a big way.

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.

If you have a basement you’re thinking of insulating, but have questions or need more information, give us a call at 403-248-6616. We’re happy to help.

Spraying your cargo trailer with spray foam provides the highest R-value

Insul-Foam recently sprayed this cargo trailer for a contractor who’s setting up a great work trailer. We also sprayed the underside of this one at two inches.

If you have a service vehicle that has to be out in extreme cold, or heat for that matter, spray foaming the interior of your vehicle can help prevent cold from getting in and guard against extreme heat in warmer weather. Spray foam provides the highest R-value at R-7 and besides being a great insulator it can keep metal vehicle walls from condensation and tap down exterior sound.

Spray foam insulation should be installed by an expert for the best results. Call Insulfoam at 403-248-6616. We’d be happy to answer all your questions or arrange an appointment for a FREE estimate.

Heavy spray foam application

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.

Here’s another skid that’s getting a heavier than normal spray foam application at 4.5″. It’s good to see local companies getting a little busier with oil and gas-related work. Let’s hope it continues!

Millarville Custom Home

Here at Insul-Foam we think this is one of the best ways to build a house! It’s full ICF wall construction and a six inch application of closed cell spray foam to the underside of roof. We spray foamed the gables at a depth of five inches as well. You could heat this house with candles I’m sure!
