Take Advantage of Spray Foam for Metal Buildings - Read These 6 Benefits

1. Eliminates Leaks

Identifying and controlling water leaks in metal buildings is difficult and costly due to their irregular surfaces and junctions. 
​
Metal roof flashings make it more difficult to detect leaks due to their movements and potentially degrade the metal structure if ignored for extended periods.

Using spray foam in your metal building ensures that a waterproof material protects the existing corners and irregular surfaces to help prevent these leaks. 

2. Regulates Indoor Temperatures

Metal is a conductive material making concerned buildings without insulation vulnerable to irregular temperatures during the seasons.

Temperatures would drop significantly during the winter in Orlando because metal is a poor heat retainer and skyrocket in the summer since the material also conducts heat at incredible rates. 

Structuring spray foam into your building seals all the exposed cracks and small spaces between beams and panels to eliminate thermal bridging and perfectly regulate internal temperatures.

3. Sufficient Energy Saver

Did you know that a building can lose up to 40% of its energy due to air filtration? 

Metal structures are notorious for having gaps and air leaks between beams and panels, which wastes valuable resources, especially if an HVAC system is incorporated.

Spray foam helps fill the gaps, holes, and air leaks in your building, thus, reducing the workload on your HVAC system by an impressive 35%.

This reduction in energy waste translates to a drop in your power bill by incredible proportions saving your home or office a buttload of money.

4. Prevents Mold

Unlike wood structures, metal buildings are safe from termites and rot.

Still, the material is prone to excessive moisture due to condensation, which creates a conducive environment for mildew and mold to prosper.

Mold can pose serious health threats to anyone living or working in the same environment as the fungus and needs dealing with immediately.

Adding spray foam as insulation to your metal structure deters mold because the material expands when it gets wet, leaving no room for mold to grow. After all, moisture can’t get in.

5. Increases Structural Strength

Despite many contradictions, spray foam’s contribution to the structural strength of your building is 100% true, especially for metal structures.

When applied to interior walls, spray foam sticks to the building material whenever the walls shift or are placed under load.

In addition, spray foam hardens and becomes rigid when it comes into contact with air, adding to the structural strength of your metal building.

6. It Is Airtight

The intersections of walls and roofs of metal panels and beams make metal buildings less airtight.

This issue promotes air leaks, increasing the resistance to peel-and-stick membranes used as air sealants.

When spray foam is applied to these gaps, it expands and fills any cracks and voids, preventing air leakage and significantly reducing energy wastage.

If you’re looking to invest in cutting your power bill by a significant percentage, spray foam and injection foam insulation for your building is your better option. We at All Florida Insulation can help get you started.
