Metal buildings & warehouses are much more difficult to heat and cool without proper insulation, and the cost of climate control can get very high. Done the right way, you can run your steel building with utility bills similar to a conventional structure — and spray foam is the way to do it right.
Insulation Built for Steel Buildings
Bare metal panels conduct heat, sweat with condensation, and leak air at every seam and fastener. Closed cell spray foam solves all three problems in a single application: it bonds directly to the steel, seals every gap airtight, and adds structural rigidity to the panels it coats. Here are just some of the metal buildings we can spray foam:
- Fulfillment centers
- Storage centers
- Automated warehouses
- Climate controlled warehouses
- Equipment storage facilities
- Shops, hangars & more
With 25+ years of experience, over 1 million square feet of foam applied, and SPFA membership, SprayTight installs trusted Gaco and Enverge products throughout Michigan. Learn more about open cell vs. closed cell insulation or whether spray foam is worth it.
Benefits of Spray Foam for Metal Buildings
Lower Utility Bills
An airtight thermal envelope means your metal building heats and cools like a conventional structure instead of bleeding conditioned air through every panel seam.
Condensation Control
Foam keeps humid interior air off cold steel, stopping the sweating and dripping that rusts panels and damages inventory and equipment.
Any Facility Size
From a small equipment shed to a full automated fulfillment center, our rigs and crews are equipped for projects of every scale across Michigan.
Added Strength
Closed cell foam is rigid once cured, stiffening wall and roof panels and helping quiet rain and wind noise inside the building.
One Contractor for the Whole Building
Many of our metal building customers pair wall and ceiling insulation with an SPF polyurethane roof system for a complete, watertight envelope. We also insulate pole barns, cold storage & tanks, and parking structures. Thank you for considering us for your spray foam insulation, polyurethane roof system, or other project — we look forward to earning your business. See all our Michigan service areas.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why do metal buildings need spray foam insulation?
Metal buildings and warehouses are much more difficult to heat and cool without proper insulation, and the costs for climate control can get very high. Done the right way, you can use these buildings and expect utility bills similar to a regular building structure.
What types of metal buildings can SprayTight insulate?
We spray foam fulfillment centers, storage centers, automated warehouses, climate-controlled warehouses, equipment storage facilities, and more. If you have a steel building in Michigan, contact us and find out what we can do for your facility.
Does spray foam stop condensation on metal walls and roofs?
Yes. Closed cell spray foam bonds directly to steel panels and purlins, creating an airtight, vapor-resistant barrier that keeps warm interior air from contacting cold metal, which is what causes condensation and dripping in Michigan winters.
Which spray foam products do you use?
SprayTight is a member of the Spray Polyurethane Foam Alliance (SPFA) and installs proven Gaco and Enverge spray foam products, backed by 25+ years of experience and over 1 million square feet of foam applied.
