Garage & Pole Building Insulation in Green Bay, WI

Garage and pole building insulation is a different problem from a house. A steel-sided pole shed or detached garage heats up fast and cools off fast. On a cold night with a heater running, warm air hits the underside of the steel roof and walls and condenses, so the building drips on whatever is parked inside. Closed-cell spray foam sprayed directly onto the steel stops that, because there is no gap between the insulation and the cold surface for moist air to reach.

Attached garages

An attached garage shares a wall, and often a ceiling, with the house. Insulating and sealing that shared wall and the floor of any room above keeps fumes and cold out of the house. If you heat the garage, insulating the outside walls and ceiling makes the heater work far less.

Detached shops and pole buildings

Around Brown County a lot of homes on acreage have a pole building for equipment, a hobby shop or storage. We spray closed-cell foam on the inside of the steel or on the wood girts and purlins, at a thickness that fits how you use the building. A heated workshop needs more than a cold storage building that only needs to stop dripping.

Doors, ceilings and coatings

Overhead doors and big slider openings leak a lot of air. We seal around frames and talk through door options. Exposed foam in some buildings needs a thermal or ignition barrier coating depending on use, and we tell you where that applies.
