At KS Spray Foam Insulation, we pride ourselves on transforming spaces with cutting-edge insulation solutions that deliver both comfort and energy efficiency. Today, we’re excited to highlight our recent project at the Mutual Savings retail location in Leavenworth, Kansas. This project demonstrates the substantial benefits of spray foam insulation in a commercial setting, particularly for retail spaces that require effective energy management and safety measures.
For this project, we focused on insulating the roofline and the top section of the exterior walls using closed cell spray foam. The roofline was insulated with a 5-inch average depth of spray foam, achieving an impressive R-value of R38. This substantial layer of insulation not only enhances energy efficiency by reducing heat loss but also strengthens the roof structure against external elements.
In addition to the roofline, we applied spray foam insulation to the top 2 feet of the exterior walls at a 2-inch average depth, resulting in an R-value of R14. This strategic application helps in controlling the building’s internal temperature and contributes to lower energy costs, which is crucial for a retail environment where operational costs can significantly impact the bottom line.
Safety was also a top priority for this project. We protected the spray foam insulation with a 15-minute thermal barrier coating. This intumescent fire-retardant coating is essential for commercial buildings, as it provides an extra layer of fire protection by expanding when exposed to heat and forming a charred layer that helps to insulate the underlying foam.
Our team’s expertise in applying closed cell spray foam ensures that the Mutual Savings retail location benefits from superior insulation performance. Closed cell foam is known for its high R-value per inch and its ability to resist moisture infiltration, making it an ideal choice for commercial applications where durability and effectiveness are paramount.
Through projects like these, KS Spray Foam Insulation continues to lead the way in providing smart insulation solutions that meet the specific needs of commercial clients. Whether it’s enhancing energy efficiency or ensuring safety compliance, we deliver results that our clients can rely on.
