Commercial and Industrial Insulation

Commercial And Industrial Insulation In Saint John, New Brunswick

Warehouses, workshops, shops, offices above shops, and the parts of an industrial building where the temperature actually has to hold. Larger surfaces, harder access, and a schedule that has to work around a business that is still running.

The spray foam insulation physics is the same as a house. The scale, the sequencing and the fire requirements are not.

Commercial and Industrial Insulation details

Spray Foam Insulation On Commercial Roof Decks

A steel or timber deck over an open span is usually the single largest heat loss in a commercial building, and usually the one nobody has put insulation on.

Spray foam insulation applied to the underside seals and insulates in one pass, over the whole area, including around every purlin, hanger and service penetration. On a big deck that detail work is most of the value, because it is where a sheet product would have needed hundreds of individual seals.

Access is the constraint rather than the spraying itself. Most commercial spray foam insulation runs off lifts, and the lift time is a real line in the price.

Uptown Buildings Are Their Own Category

The heritage commercial stock here is masonry, tall, and built to a standard that predates any thought of insulation, which makes spray foam insulation a decision rather than a default.

Those buildings are frequently damp in the walls by design, because solid masonry manages water by absorbing it and drying out again. Sealing the inside face of a wall like that without understanding the assembly can stop it drying inward, and that is a genuine risk rather than a theoretical one.

We will look at a heritage building and say honestly when the right answer is the roof and the floor rather than the walls. Insulating everything is not always the correct advice and on some of these buildings it is the wrong advice.

Fire Rating Is Not Optional

Every part of a commercial job has a covering requirement, and it is stricter than the residential equivalent because occupancy and area drive it.

Spray foam insulation left exposed in an occupied commercial space is a code failure and an insurance problem. We establish what the covering has to be at quoting stage, and whether it sits in our scope or your contractor's, in writing.

Where a building has a sprinkler system, the assembly has to work with it rather than around it.

Scheduling Commercial Insulation Around A Live Business

Most of these buildings cannot close.

We work in sections, evenings and weekends where that is what it takes, and we set the ventilation and re-entry window around your operation rather than expecting you to work around ours. The re-entry window is given in writing in advance, because for a business it is a scheduling constraint with a cost attached.

Cold storage, food handling and anything with an inspection regime has additional requirements, and we would rather hear about those at the first visit.

Commercial roof decks take the same closed cell and open cell spray foam products as a house, just at a different scale. See the rest of what we cover on the home page.

What We Install

Other Spaces We Work On

We install spray foam insulation on roofs, foundations, floors, outbuildings and commercial decks throughout the region.

Attic Insulation

No single surface on a building loses more heat than the one over your head, and none is cheaper to put spray foam insulation into. In a tall house it is worse again, because air rising through three storeys reaches the ceiling with real force behind it.

Basement Insulation

A cellar is the one part of a building that is cold, damp and connected to everything above it at the same time. Left without spray foam insulation it drags the ground floor down and pushes moist air up through the house.

Crawl Space Insulation

A crawl space is a cellar nobody can stand up in, which is exactly why its insulation gets ignored. The floor above it is cold, the air in it moves up into the house, and almost nobody has looked at the insulation in years.

Garage Insulation

Two separate problems get called garage insulation, and spray foam insulation answers both. One is wanting the garage itself usable. The other is the cold room sitting above it.
