Pole Barns & Pole Building Insulation
Pole Barns whether used for residential, commercial, industrial or agricultural, are very economic and simple structures to build and they are going up at an incredible rate across the country.
If you are going to condition your space with heat and/or cooling, the most important decision you will make is how best to insulate.
We understand that the main reason why our clients choose to build with these metal buildings instead of traditional materials is to save money... We get it, however it's truly shocking to think some would select batted fiberglass on a metal structure... even though they are trying to save money!!
The Solution
It's much wiser to find something else to pinch or shed from the budget - NOT a permanent aspect of the building that determines its comfort and efficiency for the life time of the building!
SprayFoam Insulation is the only logical choice when it's all said and done.
Spray Foam Insulation, especially closed cell SPF is the only insulation material that stops all forms of heat transfer, and on a metal building it's even more important due to the very certain issue of condensation.
We have insulated hundreds of new and existing metal buildings, many of which had vinyl wrapped fiberglass installed that we had to then cut out and spray due to various reasons.
Don't be foolish... spend, or better yet ...INVEST in a system that pays YOU back.
For PERMANENT strength, comfort, and efficiency... GO FOAM!
The Science
Nobody understands the science of building better than .
If you want to build a thermally efficient and air tight pole barn, it's not enough just to insulate. You must choose the right insulation and air sealing system for the application, and be sure it's properly installed.
Did you know that an improperly insulated and sealed building delivers 8,500 lbs. of excess greenhouse gases into the air each year? It can also waste 30 percent or more of the energy used to heat and cool the building.
Our Building Science experts understand the principles of heat, air and moisture flow, and how the building envelope interacts with a building's mechanical systems as well as its occupants.
N.A.S.A. applied one-inch of spray-on foam insulation on the Space Shuttle's External Tank that serves to insulate the tank. The closed-cell foam used on the tank was developed to keep the Shuttle's liquid hydrogen fuel at minus 423 degrees Fahrenheit and the liquid oxygen tank at near minus 297 degrees Fahrenheit even as the tank sits under the hot Florida sun while preventing a buildup of ice on the outside of the tank.
Properly insulating and sealing your building with Spray Foam is a greener alternative. .

It is now well established and accepted by most architects and builders that controlling air infiltration is the best and most cost-effective means of reducing wasteful heat loss and providing a comfortable indoor environment.
Most architects tend to design structures that are tight and energy efficient by incorporating the latest in proven, energy saving construction details into their drawings.
Unfortunately, too many buildings still perform poorly. Why is this?
We have found that since there is no performance specification to dictate building construction, there is no guarantee when it comes to building performance. Regardless of the contractor's ability, tight buildings are not created from a list of materials and drawings in the absence of specifications that dictate the building's designed environmental performance.
takes a different approach
To improve building performance, our company focuses on the basic building science principle that air infiltration compromises the effectiveness of the building envelope. Our approach is incremental - areas of infiltration are diagnosed and fixed in order of magnitude. This provides the most thorough and cost-effective solution possible.
has satisfied clients. Our clients have been extremely pleased as they benefit from cost-savings and an immediate improvement in comfort.
We operate two-part urethane injection equipment to superinsulate new and old buildings. Included in this equipment are special nozzles and guns to seal cracks and small openings which effectively stops infiltration that cause poor thermal performance.
There are other urethane contractors who provide typical spray foam services; however, very few go beyond the installation of conventional spray-roofing and spray-wall insulation processes.
Our capabilities, while serving these common markets in some cases, are specially designed to meet the unconventional needs of specialty markets.
By employing standard and custom equipment which processes foam through both spray and injection techniques, we can utilize numerous chemical systems with varying densities, speeds, closed-cell content, fire rating, vapor permeability, and other desirable environmental characteristics.
While there may be other foam contractors who provide spray and injection services, to the best of our knowledge, we are the only company that currently uses "ratio monitoring" equipment in the field for this process. Ratio monitoring enables our technicians to maintain the exact chemical formulation (mix) for the duration of the installation process.
It is impossible to guarantee that the appropriate mix is being maintained without the use of this equipment.
WE DO MORE THAN JUST SPRAY FOAM
