Benefits of Spray Foam Insulation

Spray foam insulation is used in both residential and commercial applications because of its ability to seal and insulate structures. The following are some of the key benefits:

  • Best R-value per inch of any readily available insulation allows you to fix more insulation in a tighter space
  • Seals out dust and pollen
  • Noticeably lower monthly utility bills
  • Expands to seal gaps, cracks and voids in walls and ceilings
  • Homeowner can use smaller, more energy efficient heating and cooling systems and achieve same level of comfort
  • 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

The Best Insulation for a Basement Suite

For those of you looking to do a basement suite, this is the way to insulate them. Closed cell spray foam is an air barrier/vapour barrier at a depth of just 2″. We know from personal experience how much more comfortable a basement is with spray foam instead of fibreglass batt and poly. The customer who rents this suite will notice a difference in utility bills compared to the conventional cold and sometimes damp basements.

If you have a project you’re considering, now’s the time to discover more about spray foam insulation.

More functional & comfortable trade vans

Cargo vans are undeniably versatile workhorses. The images below showcase several cargo vans that have been repurposed. Applying spray foam to a cargo van makes for a much more comfortable vehicle whether it’s for use in spring, summer, fall or winter.

The cargo vans in the images were insulated for a local truck outfitter. Applying spray foam to a cargo van makes for a much more comfy vehicle for any season. It’s an added bonus that it cuts down on road noise as well. The trades that use these two vans will notice quite a difference from how they functioned before.

  • Will not slip out of place overtime compared to other conventional insulation

In the image below we completed a small job for a homeowner. A couple of old garage doors were letting a lot of cold air in so we sprayed them with 2″ of our closed cell residential foam — Genyk Boreal Nature Elite.

Ready to insulate your food trailer?

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 food trailer insulation at the beginning stages. This is a 2″ application to the walls, just under 1″ on the roof and 3″ under the floor. We’ve done several of these over the years for a few different local businesses. It’s really the only way to go for a project like this.

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

Class 1 Spray Foam Skid Application

In the images below we are spraying another skid for a busy local company that builds mostly for the oil patch. This was a 3″ application of the Class 1 ASTM-E84 tested foam made by Genyk here in Canada. There was no additional top coat on this project. It’s becoming more common to spray a coat of TankCoat or a Thermal barrier over top of the Class 1 foam.

Not sure why, but we’ve just noticed an increase in that recently. Always happy to be a small part of our amazing Alberta oil and gas industry.

Skid application with White TankCoat

Spray foam benefits include insulation efficiency, air-tight seal, moisture barrier, long life span and energy savings, to name a few.

The images in the gallery below showcase a couple of recent skids we sprayed. These are both a 3″ application of class 1 foam with a good coat of White TankCoat. TankCoat is offered in 3 basic colours (black, grey and white) but can also be customized to whatever the customer would like for a small fee.

Changing the feel & efficiency of your legal suite

This recent project we did for a customer involved developing a legal suite here in Calgary. We see lots of old basements where the framing was done by the original homeowner. Stud spacings can be all over the map making it very difficult to insulate with fibreglass batts that are made in specific widths. On this one we used an application of the Genyk Boreal Nature Elite at a depth of 2″. It can actually be exciting to spray foam these older houses, knowing it will completely change the feel and efficiency of the home, filling in minor cracks in the foundation as we go. I know from first hand experience how big of a difference it can make.

Another advantage of the foam is the speed at which we can do even a large basement. We’ll take care of these jobs in one visit and the builder has the best possible insulation application and he can move on to the drywall 24 hours after we’re done. This will be a comfortable space for people long into the future.
