Project Spotlight: Industrial Materials Facility
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
The facility needed to improve its thermal performance while reducing heat transfer through the building envelope. Because large industrial structures can experience significant air movement and temperature fluctuations, controlling air infiltration and condensation was also an important consideration.
Thermo-Guard Solution
Thermo-Guard installed closed-cell spray foam insulation throughout the designated areas of the facility. The foam was applied directly to the building surfaces to create a continuous insulation layer while sealing 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.
