Spray foam can fill any sealant need!

Polyurethane spray (spray foam) use is only limited by the imagination. Wherever a sealant is needed spray foam can fill the need.

It is commonly used as building insulation or for construction purposes. Spray foam has a high R-value and it has impressive thermal resistance properties. Being moisture-resistant and pliable, it comes in handy for out of the way places where other common materials would become awkward in application.

In this example where a new building was connected to an existing older structure a few stories up from ground level, the point of contact on the older structure needed to be sealed from the outside for moisture resistance, while insulating the interior against winter temperatures.

No job is too large, and no customer is too small. Spray foam insulation is used in both residential and commercial applications because of its ability to seal and insulate structures.

Spray foam perfect for hot tub insulation

Did you know that not all hot tubs are insulated equally and that there are many types of hot tub insulation? It’s true. The less insulation, the less energy efficiency. And…the better the insulation, the less work it takes for your hot tub to function optimally.

You can make your outdoor hot tub experience more comfortable during the fall and winter months by adding additional insulation to it. Spray foam around the hot tub’s cabinet traps warmth in the tub and does not allow it to escape keeping the water hot.

In a previous project, Insul-Foam Services sprayed multiple layers of spray foam to prevent plumbing leaks and cracks in the shell of this giant tub built for a resort. You can see the extent of the shell, plumbing and equipment needed to insulate against the cold, the frost and the elements in the images below.

What is intumescent coating?

Insulfoam Services Intumescent CoatingAn intumescent is a substance that swells when it is exposed to heat. When exposed to high temperatures it can expand to 100 times its original application and the heat creates a light char which works to retard heat transfer.

Usually used in fire protection, intumescent coatings have to comply with the national building codes and laws. They incorporate flame-retardant chemicals to achieve two distinct industry efficacy ratings. Intumescent coatings are typically applied to the inside of buildings for a more aesthetic form of fire prevention.

If you have an application that requires an intumescent coating, get in touch for more information about this highly effective product. We’d be happy to answer any questions or concerns you may have or arrange an appointment for a FREE estimate.

Spray foam insulation for oilfield 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.

Insul-Foam recently sprayed a large oilfield skid for a customer. A skid is a heavy metal based platform often used to support machinery and heavy equipment. They typically have no bottom deck and the structure is usually on skis or skids which allows them to be pulled into position through almost any terrain.

We have the equipment to reach the heights and depths of these large structures to insulate where needed. In the images below we used Class 1 polyurethane spray foam from Genyk and sprayed to a depth of 3 inches. Genyk insulation polyurethane foam is thermally efficient and environmentally friendly, excellent for skids or platforms that are outdoors and exposed to the elements year round.

Spray foam solutions for your concession trailer

With so many different types of trailers available, there’s no limit on what type of business could be launched. In the images below we recently spray foamed the underside of a concession trailer for a customer. This application was 4 inches except for the tanks that hung a bit lower. Because their concession trailer is operated through the colder months, Insulfoam is certain they’ll notice a huge difference this winter from last.

Spray foam insulation is safe, economical, and one of the quickest and easiest ways to insulate a concession trailer. This insulation material can be sprayed directly onto the interior walls which will ensure your trailer withstands the rigors of temperature change.

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.

Keep the cold out with Insul-foam spray foam

When haven’t you been in a drafty warehouse? It’s normal right? Well it doesn’t have to be. With as little as two inches of spray foam insulation you can completely change the comfort level of old warehouses, Quonset huts and even barns.

Spray polyurethane foam, commonly referred to as SPF, is a sprayed foam insulation that starts as a liquid, goes through specialized equipment, and is then mixed at the end of the spray gun. It is sprayed onto a surface and expands multiple times past its original volume. The properties of spray foam make it a much tighter sealant and insulator than packaged material you might generally apply to your house or commercial structure. The ability to spray it also allows its use on extraordinary shaped structures.

Insul-Foam Services has been applying spray foam insulation, polyurethane foams and protective coatings since 1979. We’re experts in residential and commercial build insulation.

No job is too big or too small for our expertly trained team. 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.
