Metal Buildings and Metal Roofs

Benefits of Using Icyene Spray Foam Insulation:
- Increased productivity- a 2,500 sq.ft. building can be insulated in less than 2 days
- Saves time and labor costs- framer and air sealer involvment in insulation not necessary
- Saves money- four functions in one: building wrap, poly vapor/air retarder, caulking, professional air sealing and insulation
- Eliminates moisture problems-no more sweating ceilings, corrosion or moisture caused by air leakage
- Controls air leakage-vastly improves energy efficiency
- Solves framing challenges-fills any cavit, complicated ceiling designs are easy to insulate with Icynene spray foam insulation
- Maintains original cured form-does not shrink, sag or settle with time
- Creates maximum indoor air quality-locks out unwanted pollutants from outside
- Extends the life of the building and the systems within it-it becomes easy to maintain a relative humidity of 30-55%
- In commercial buildings, Icynene is the one application, permanent solution to corrosion problems and temperature control
Habitat for Humanity

Habitat for Humanity. At Insulation For Life, giving back to the community is important. By working on at least one Habitat for Humanity project a year and using The Icynene Foam Insulation System; we are able to save the occupants of these habitat homes precious dollars on utility bills. Some people say that they can't afford to put the Icyene Insulation System in their house, the truth is that they can't afford not to. In most cases homeowners will save more on their utility bill by using Icynene spray foam than the additional cost they pay on their mortgate. Why not give it a try! |
Insulating a Metal Building for Air Sealing/Energy Efficiency
Corrugated steel panel buildings are very popular and are used for everything from laboratories to churches.
"However, the panel-style construction technique produces many standing seams in the building envelope.
While these are almost always weather tight, they are rarely air tight. This construction method can result
in very high infiltration rates. This increases HVAC costs significantly."
"Random air leakage can account
for 30% to 40% of heating/cooling energy costs used within a structure." Read More
