Metal buildings present unique insulation challenges that traditional materials can't adequately address. Spray foam insulation is specifically suited for steel structures, eliminating condensation, thermal bridging, and the air infiltration problems common in metal construction.
From pre-engineered steel buildings to Quonset huts and metal shops, we provide insulation solutions that protect your investment and dramatically reduce operating costs.
Metal Building Challenges
Condensation ("Sweating")
Temperature differences between inside and outside cause moisture to condense on metal surfaces, leading to rust, dripping, and potential structural damage.
Thermal Bridging
Metal framing conducts heat rapidly, creating hot and cold spots that reduce insulation effectiveness and waste energy.
Air Leakage
Panel joints, fastener holes, and ridge caps allow significant air infiltration that makes climate control nearly impossible.
Radiant Heat
Metal roofs absorb intense solar radiation in summer, turning buildings into ovens without proper insulation.
Why Spray Foam for Metal Buildings

Closed-cell spray foam creates a seamless barrier that adheres directly to metal surfaces, eliminating thermal bridging at purlins and girts while providing the vapor control needed to prevent condensation.
