Portland, Maine Insulation Spray Foam

This is a picture of a spray foam insulation job we recently did in the Portland Maine Area.  We sprayed closed cell foam in the wall cavities and on the ceiling.  This room is being used for indoor agriculture which produces a fairly humid environment.  Therefore, applying a vapor barrier product like out closed cell spray foam its a great choice.  It helps to contain the moisture in a way that it can be transported out of the heated space via the duct work in the wall system.

Spray Foam Insulation In Brunswick Maine

Installing Closed Cell Spray Foam In Brunswick, Maine Spraying the underside of a roof deck on a commercial building   This was an interesting application where we sprayed an existing boat house.  Originally there was only fiberglass insulation in this building.  For building of this size that needs to be heated, the fiberglass was just not cutting it.  The fiberglass was removed and replaced with our Icynene Proseal which has an R-value of 7.1 per inch.

Spraying Foam Insulation In Mount Desert, Maine

This picture shows a hybrid system with Icynene open cell in the walls and Sips panels in the Roof.  This is a great system if you are building post and beam houses or you really want to preserve the existing roof in an old building like these. Using Sips panels makes it easier to leave beams exposed while still insulating the home.                     These pictures show the steep incline of the road down to the camp.  These pictures just don't do the hill justice.  We actually had to be pushed out by an excavator!   These Pictures show the two cottages that were sprayed.                                 This...

Closed Cell and Open Cell Hybrid in Belfast, Maine

On this job we decided to do a hybrid system.  We sprayed our open cell foam to the attic floor.  Then we sprayed the walls with closed cell.  We did this because this is a metal building.  The closed cell offers the rigidity and low vapor permeable material needed for metal buildings.  However we were able to spray open cell to the attic floor which provided our customer with decent savings on the project because our open cell is less expensive.
