What Are The Benefits of Spray Foam Insulation For Your Commercial Building?

by Janeth Dunn Ms

Commercial properties come in all shapes and sizes. Across the UK, you’ll find a mix of large warehouses, factories, shop stores, restaurants as well as traditional office environments.

All of these have one thing in common. They have to be heated during the winter.

One of the biggest outlays any business owner has beside staff and equipment are those all-important utility bills, especially the heating. While you can reduce costs by changing utility supplier, without the right kind of insulation in your commercial property you are basically wasting money all year round.

The truth is that many commercial buildings in the UK are relatively old and are not adequately insulated against the elements. The reason that spray foam insulation is becoming more popular with businesses is because the long and short-term benefits are easy to see. It’s also quick and cost effective when it comes to installation.

Cutting Down Fuel Bills

There are several options when it comes to insulating a commercial building and some of the more standard methods such as fibreglass insulation rolls have their merits. They’re easy to put in and can save on energy bills.

Spray insulation differs in that it delivers full coverage and acts as a much better barrier, allowing business owners to better control the temperature in any location. When it is applied by a professional team, foam insulation can quickly be put in place andyou will begin to see the benefits almost immediately.

Providing a Better Work Environment

There’s no doubt that a healthy work environment will help boost staff productivity and create a happier bunch of employees. There’s nothing worse than having to do your job in a space that is poorly insulated and open to the vagaries of the weather with cold drafts and even damp causing problems.

Foam insulation is applied as a liquid but quickly expands and hardens to fill empty spaces and seal off poorly insulated areas. It also reduces problems such as damp and mould and gives you the opportunity to better control the work environment temperature so that everyone feels comfortable.

Building Protection

Most commercial buildings need a good deal of ongoing maintenance. Spray foam insulation can close up all those hidden cracks and defects in the structure that cause heat loss. It is suitable for applying to almost any surface including metal, wood and breezeblock.

Over the years, we’ve helped transform a wide range of commercial properties including warehouses, factories, garages and workshops and even the odd municipal building or two. We’ve been able to fully insulate many pre-1970s buildings that needed to comply with current building regulations. If your commercial property currently has a problem with condensation, spray foam insulation is also a good way to reduce and even eliminate this.

Long Warranties

Our foam insulation comes with a 25 year warranty which means you don’t have to worry about insulation for the foreseeable future.
