Industrial Materials Facility
August 13, 2026
This industrial facility needed a dependable insulation solution to help protect its building envelope and create a more controlled interior environment.
Industrial spaces can experience significant heat gain and temperature fluctuations, especially in Louisiana's climate. Spray foam provided a way to insulate the structure while also addressing air movement and moisture concerns.
Project Challenge / Design Obstacle:
- Improve thermal performance within an industrial environment.
- Reduce heat transfer through the building envelope.
- Help control air infiltration and condensation associated with a large industrial structure.
Thermo-Guard Solution:
- Installed closed-cell spray foam insulation throughout the designated areas of the facility.
- Applied the foam directly to the building surfaces to create a continuous insulation layer.
- Sealed gaps and irregular areas that can allow unwanted air movement through the structure.
Results:
- Improved the building's thermal performance.
- Helped reduce heat transfer into the facility.
- Improved temperature consistency within the insulated areas.
- Added an air-sealing and moisture-resistant insulation layer for additional building protection.
Technical Note:
- Closed-cell spray foam provides approximately R-7 per inch and acts as both an air barrier and moisture-resistant insulation.
- Its high density and low permeability make it particularly well suited for industrial and metal structures where condensation control and durability are important.
Quick Takeaway:
Industrial buildings need more than insulation—they need an insulation system that can stand up to heat, humidity, air movement, and demanding working conditions.
