Closed cell spray foam insulation in commercial use

 

Advantages for building owners and architects:


  •  Offers highest R-value per inch; decreases heating and cooling expenses
  •  Reduces installation time and cost
  •  Enhances resistance to wind uplift and hail damage
  •  Adds structural strength
  •  Provides a monolithic seamless roof system
  •  Acts as seamless air barrier
  •  Restricts bulk water and vapor transmission
  •  Reduces sound transmission
  •  Does not shrink or settle
  •  Reduces structural waste

Advantages for contractors:

  •  Reduces installation time and cost
  •  Provides a monolithic seamless roof system
  •  Reduces structural waste
  •  Restricts bulk water and vapor transmission
  •  Does not shrink or settle

High-Performance Green Building: New Materials and Methods - Webcast

Learn how selection of building materials and methods directly impacts building sustainability and performance. Key considerations include occupant health, which is affected by IAQ, and building energy efficiency. This webcast examines roofing and enclosure materials that affect these areas, with attention given to air barriers, "cool roof" designs, and insulation. The implications of these enclosure choices on building life-cycle analysis (LCA), LEED ratings, and other key measures of building sustainability, are examined. One system/material example is covered in detail, discussing the use of closed-cell spray polyurethane foam.
