Which Commercial Spray Foam To Use On A Building

For example, common spots for air or water leaks in a residential building wouldn’t necessarily be the same in a commercial building. In a commercial building, it might be smarter to go with a closed cell foam insulation because it is the only type of insulation that is recognized as a Class 5 flood-damage resistant material according to the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA). For that reason, FEMA recommends closed cell foam insulation under floors, in a basement, in crawl spaces, and other places where water contact is likely, to reduce the risk of mold growth.

States and local governments are continuously adopting new codes and regulations that have to be met when building new buildings and commercial insulation. This is a big reason why you should choose an experienced insulation company like Eagle Insulation for your insulation job because we stay current on all government regulations around insulation. We choose spray foam insulation because spray foam is an air barrier, it can help meet or even exceed the energy codes by creating more energy efficient buildings.
