Spray Foam Insulation Portland Maine

Here is a picture of a large scale growing facility we sprayed in Southern Maine. We used Closed Cell Spray Foam Insulation. This was a perfect situation for a growing facility. The owner was concerned about moisture build up on the metal during the cold months and keeping the building cool during the summer months. This person has created a perfect building envelope that he can control very easily. Around 95% of the heat transfer is being stopped with this package. We also sprayed the steel framing as well to cut down on condensation.

Falmouth Maine Sprayfoam Insulation

Installing Icynene Classic to a cathedral roof in the Southern Maine area At this job we installed R-20 in the roof and R-13 in the walls. We actually can still meet the building code requirements with these R-values. Talk to Peter Jr for information regarding that. At those R-values we are stopping almost 90 percent of the heat coming the wall/roof. Adding more R-value really would not enhance the performance at this point. This works because foam is an "air barrier". We are stopping the movement of air which is the largest transport of both heat and moisture! This is...

Installing Insulation Portland Maine

Job Description: At this job we sprayed Icynene Classic Spray Foam Insulation to the underside of the roofdeck. This allowed the customer to bring all of there hot air heat runs inside the building envelope. If this space was empty and the customer did not need it heated we would spray down to the floor. Bringing the heat runs into the envelope helps with the over all efficiency of the heating system. This is an excellent Insulation System. At the thicknesses used here we are stopping around 95% of the heat flow through the cavity. The only way to make this...

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. Installing Insulation in Portland Maine

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.

Insulating School on Vinalhaven, Maine

This school was having some major heat loss problems as well as ice damming. The cause was coming from poorly installed fiber glass insulation in the attic. The fiberglass was loosely placed on the attic floor. Whoever installed it tried to isolate the mechanicals by building a shell with fiberglass insulation. The problem is that fiberglass is not an air barrier. The warm moist air was escaping through the insulation and warming the underside of the roof deck which was creating ice dams. Also, the cold air from the attic was penetrating the fiberglass which cooled the heating ducts, thus...

Spray Foam Insulating Sail Boats In Midcoast Maine

This customer was building a boat that was going to be used in both cold weather and warm weather sailing. They were concerned both with staying warm in the winter weather and cool in the summer months. Also, they were concerned about condensation. We applied water blown closed cell spray foam to the interior. This helped with all three concerns. We left the bilge areas out because of standing water but everything else was insulated. This is a great option for someone who is retrofitting a boat or building a new boat. We can travel to any boat yard...

Spraying Foam Insulation in a Boothbay, Maine

Before Spraying After Spraying Spraying Around the Attic Hatchway This a very common job for us. People like to build garages with an apartment above. Using our foam is a great way to provide a good thermal envelope around the whole building. Most importantly, it creates a barrier between the apartment above and the garage below. It keeps the cold out of the apartment when the garage door is opened. It dampens the sound from door openers and cars starting. It helps creates an air barrier that will not allow fumes to penetrate into the living space above. Foam is a very...
