If you’re trying to manage temperatures in a cold storage facility, spray foam insulation can be the most beneficial way to maintain temps. And if you manage commercial storage tanks, the right insulation makes sure those tanks perform at peak performance. SprayTight handles commercial, residential & industrial applications across Michigan.
Industrial Tank Insulation
Storage tanks lose product quality, energy, and money through every square foot of uninsulated shell. Spray-applied polyurethane foam bonds directly to the tank surface, conforming to curves, fittings, and piping to form a seamless thermal jacket. Examples of storage tanks we can insulate:
- Agricultural & ethanol tanks
- Ammonia tanks
- Chemical storage tanks
- Double-walled tanks
- Fuel tanks & more
See how we rehabbed improperly insulated oil tanks with spray polyurethane foam, and how our crews take quality on the road for industrial clients.
Why Spray Foam for Tanks & Cold Storage
Stable Temperatures
High R-value closed cell foam holds cold storage rooms and tank contents at spec, cutting refrigeration run-time and energy spend.
Conforms to Any Shape
Foam is spray applied, so it wraps curved shells, domes, saddles, and piping in one continuous, seamless layer with no fasteners.
Moisture & Corrosion Defense
The closed cell membrane sheds water and blocks the condensation that corrodes steel tanks and freezes on cold storage walls.
Industrial Experience
25+ years and over 1 million sq ft of foam applied — SPFA-member crews using proven Gaco and Enverge products on demanding industrial sites.
Cold Storage Facilities
Freezers, coolers, and climate-controlled warehouses live or die by their insulation. Spray foam creates the airtight, vapor-tight envelope cold storage demands — walls, ceilings, and transition details sealed in one application. We pair cold storage work with metal building insulation and SPF flat roofing systems for a complete envelope, and we take on unique spray foam applications other contractors turn down.

Frequently Asked Questions
What kinds of storage tanks can SprayTight insulate?
We insulate agricultural and ethanol tanks, ammonia tanks, chemical storage tanks, double-walled tanks, fuel tanks, and more. If you manage commercial storage tanks, spray foam insulation makes sure they perform at peak performance.
Why use spray foam for cold storage facilities?
If you're trying to manage temperatures in a cold storage facility, spray foam insulation can be the most beneficial way to maintain temps. The seamless, high R-value foam envelope stops thermal bridging and air leakage that make refrigeration systems work overtime.
Does spray foam work on curved and irregular tank surfaces?
Yes. Spray-applied polyurethane foam conforms to any shape, adhering directly to curved steel shells, piping, and fittings with no seams or fasteners — something rigid board insulation cannot do.
Can poorly insulated tanks be fixed with spray foam?
Yes. Existing tanks with failing or inadequate insulation can be rehabbed with spray polyurethane foam. See our article on improperly insulated oil tanks rehabbed with spray polyurethane foam for a real-world example.
