Broken Arrow has a large industrial and commercial base, especially along the Broken Arrow Expressway and Highway 51, plus detached shops on larger lots east toward Coweta. Many of these steel buildings have little or no insulation.
Bare metal heats up fast in the sun and cools quickly at night, which creates condensation. Water drips onto equipment, inventory and floors, leading to rust and mildew. Fiberglass blankets help until the facing tears, and then condensation returns.
Closed-cell spray foam bonds to the steel, seals laps and fasteners, and keeps the metal warm enough that condensation stops. Every building gets a free site visit and a written plan.
Broken Arrow tip
For buildings used by employees or the public, ask early about fire code coatings over the foam so they are part of the plan.
Metal Buildings That Benefit Most
- ✓Dripping roofs on cool mornings
- ✓Rust on racks and tools
- ✓Workspaces too hot by midday
- ✓Torn blanket insulation
- ✓High utility bills
- ✓New buildings that must meet code
Is 1 Inch of Spray Foam Enough?
For condensation control in an unheated building, about 1 inch of closed-cell foam is usually enough. It keeps the steel warm and seals the seams at the lowest cost.
For heated and cooled buildings, 1.5 to 3 inches is common, roughly R-10 to R-20. Many owners put more on the roof than the walls. Open-cell foam is generally not used directly on metal.
