Metal building insulation
Shops, barns, warehouses, and steel buildings across New Mexico, El Paso, and West Texas.
Spray foam is the go-to insulation for metal buildings, and it is a big part of what we do. Closed-cell foam bonds directly to the panels and framing and can add rigidity. It can also improve the wall assembly’s resistance to sideways forces, known as racking. The improvement depends on the product, thickness, and construction. It helps control the condensation that drips off bare steel on cold mornings and seals the seams, laps, and fastener holes that let dust and wind through.
We foam new steel buildings before they are finished out and retrofit existing shops, barns, and warehouses. Tell us the building size, what it is used for, and whether it is new or existing so we can prepare for a site visit or plan review. After that review, we prepare a written estimate covering the foam type, thickness, prep, and any fire-protection coating the use requires.
Warehouses, shops, hangars, and manufacturing space. We work around your operations and handle the fire-protection requirements that come with occupied commercial buildings.
Barns, equipment sheds, and storage buildings. We plan around animals, stored feed and equipment, washdown, and ventilation so the foam holds up to how the building is actually used.
On an existing shop, tell us about torn blanket insulation, roof leaks, rust and anything mounted against the panels. Foam needs a suitable surface to bond to. Existing insulation, loose coatings, dirt or damp metal may need attention before application; the preparation depends on the selected product and what we find on the building.
A cold steel panel can collect water from humid indoor air. Insulating the panel can be part of controlling that problem, but a roof leak, damp ground, washdown or an unvented moisture source needs its own plan. Tell us when the drips happen: after rain, on cold mornings or while equipment is running. That helps separate a leak from condensation.
Read why metal buildings sweat and see how panel condition, indoor moisture and ventilation affect the insulation scope.
Here is how a metal building job typically goes:
No two metal buildings are the same: a hay barn, a welding shop, and a climate-controlled warehouse need different foam, thickness, and coatings. Your estimate is written for your building.
Before we spray, we confirm the product, prep, thickness, and any required coating against the manufacturer’s current data so the warranty holds.
Schedule a site visit or send your plans. After reviewing the building and its use, we’ll prepare a free written estimate with no obligation.
Schedule a VisitWe do metal building insulation across New Mexico, El Paso, and parts of West Texas. Most of that work is in and around:
How the work happens, explained the way we would in your driveway.
Our work
Roswell, NMA clear-span steel building in Roswell with spray foam under the whole roof and down the walls, sprayed around the roll-up doors and walk-in doors.
Capitan, NMA steel building in Capitan with framed rooms inside: foam in the stud walls and ceilings of the rooms, and on the roof panels over the open bay.
San Patricio, NMSpray foam in the framed walls of a steel building in San Patricio, in the Hondo Valley, around a roll-up door, plumbing lines and a small room.
New build or existing, schedule a site visit or send us your plans. We’ll review the project before preparing a free written estimate.
