Commercial Spray Foam in Silver City

Commercial insulation for Silver City’s brick blocks and steel shops

Downtown Silver City is lined with old two-story brick commercial buildings, many with cast-iron storefronts and flat roofs. Those walls are solid brick, not framed, so the roof is usually the first place we look. Heat goes up through a thin roof and out around old doors, transoms, and roof penetrations. From fall into spring the nights get cold at this elevation, and that heat is gone by morning. In summer the same roof soaks up sun until the monsoon clouds build.

Out of town, commercial jobs often mean steel: shops, warehouses, and pre-engineered buildings in Bayard, Hurley, and Tyrone that serve the copper mines and ranches. Closed-cell foam sprayed on the panels insulates, seals the seams, and can add rigidity to the panels. The added rigidity depends on the product, thickness, and construction. Keeping warm air off cold steel usually cuts down on dripping. Offices near the university, and motels and restaurants that host visitors headed into the Gila, get open-cell or closed-cell depending on the space. Grant County is farther from our core area, so we line up the dates with you ahead of time.

Typical commercial insulation jobs in Silver City

Roof decks and ceiling spaces over downtown brick storefronts
Steel shops and warehouses in Bayard, Hurley, and Santa Clara
Motels and restaurants that host visitors headed to the Gila
Office suites and small storefronts near the university
New metal and frame buildings sprayed before the interior is finished

What we plan around in Silver City

Solid masonry walls that put the focus on the roof
Monsoon downpours that find old roof leaks, which get fixed before foaming
Big swings between warm afternoons and cold nights on bare steel
Cold winter mornings in unheated shops, so spray times follow the temperature

How it works

Step 1
Site visit
We look at the building, how it is used, and when the work can happen without getting in your way.
Step 2
Schedule and prep
Work is set around your hours, often a section at a time, with equipment, stock, and fixtures masked.
Step 3
Spray
Foam goes on to the specified thickness. Any thermal or ignition barrier coating the building’s use requires is part of the estimate.
Step 4
Walk-through
We check coverage and thickness against the estimate and walk the finished job with you.

Also serving: Arenas Valley, Tyrone, Pinos Altos, Santa Clara, Bayard, Hurley, Hanover.

Is your roof a candidate for spray foam?

A foam roof can go over many flat and low-slope roofs, as long as what’s under it is dry, sound and draining. Here’s how to tell whether yours is a candidate and how to look after it.

Sidewalk trip hazards: lift, grind or replace

An offset between two sidewalk panels is a small thing until someone catches a toe on it. Here is how those lips form, why they matter more on a commercial property, and how to choose between lifting, grinding and replacing.

Commercial Spray Foam in Silver City: common questions

In most cases, yes. The foam usually goes on the underside of the roof deck or above the ceiling, sprayed from inside, so the brick face and storefront glass stay as they are. Solid brick walls can sometimes be furred out and foamed, but the roof is usually where the heat is going. On the visit we’ll say what makes sense for yours.

Often. Downtown shops, galleries, and restaurants usually want spraying done after closing or on the days they are closed, and a building with an upstairs and a storefront can be done a floor at a time. The sprayed area stays off limits until the foam cures and the air clears, so we set the order of rooms with you before the first day.

Yes. We take commercial jobs in Silver City, Arenas Valley, Tyrone, Pinos Altos, Santa Clara, Bayard, Hurley, and Hanover. Tell us the town, how big the building is, and what goes on inside, and we’ll confirm scheduling before we set up the visit.
