Indoor Grow Facility
Envelope insulation for a controlled-environment facility.
Indoor Grow Facility: The Project
An indoor grow facility in need of a complete coat of spray foam insulation; roof and walls.
This job required a 3 inch coating of closed cell foam on the building's roof, and a 2 inch coating of the same on the exterior walls.
How It Was Done
This level of roofing insulation will eliminate the dew point, creating a safer environment for crops. The wall insulation will combine with this to create an entire air vapor barrier.
The spray foam will also ensure that there is no presence of mold, and means that rodents and pests have no gateway into the growing shed. It has created the perfect growing environment, and saved the client 50% on his energy bills
For almost 40 years spray foam has been recognized as the best way to insulate agricultural buildings. These buildings are notorious for being difficult to keep at a steady temperature - a task that often requires countless other energy eating systems.
Spray foam forms one continuous protective barrier. This brings insulation up to standard in one application as well as eliminating drafts and condensation. Temperature is incredibly easy to maintain once spray foam insulated too.
We have a long list of successful projects, check out a select few of our recent and on going projects.
Stay warmer in the winter and cooler in the summer as well as saving on energy bills with our spray foam insulation.
Spray foam insulation is a great way to save on energy costs and increase your profits while showing social responsibility.
Spray foam in excellent if you need a temperature-controlled area. Whether for crops, livestock or stables, it is the perfect solution.
A quarter of building heat is lost through the roof, an area which can also easily breed damp. Prevent these issues with our services.
Common Questions About This Type of Project
What makes a grow facility different from a warehouse?
The interior humidity is deliberately high and held there. That drives moisture into the shell continuously, so vapor control matters more than the thermal number.
Does insulation replace the dehumidification equipment?
No. Insulation removes the cold surfaces where moisture condenses. Dehumidification removes moisture from the air. A facility of this type generally needs both.
Is the foam safe around a growing environment?
Once cured it is a stable part of the building assembly. Re-entry guidance during and shortly after application follows the specific product data sheet.
