Insulation for Warehouses and Storage
With its ability to strengthen, support, and seal, spray foam is the obvious choice for insulating shipping containers and warehouses.
Uninsulated storage spaces
Storage spaces are typically draughty and offer little insulation. They are full of cracks, making them an ideal spot for pests to nest and provide little protection from external elements. Cracks also allow moisture to diffuse freely, making both the contents and material of warehouses and containers highly subject to degradation caused by rust.
Upgrading your storage space
Spray foam is revolutionising the storage industry. Unlike alternative forms of insulation, spray foam seeps into all crevices before rapidly expanding. This plugs up all cracks, acting as both an insulator and vapour barrier. When applied correctly, spray foam can insulate and strengthen shipping containers, fridges, and warehouses. It’s even allowing people to repurpose containers into homes!
The benefits
Thermal Control
It provides a more tightly controlled thermal environment and minimises temperature fluctuations, which can add up to substantial long-term energy savings.
Condensation Barrier
Spray foam acts as an excellent barrier to moisture which helps prevent mould growth and corrosion. Unlike alternative insulators, the surface of spray foam is also highly resistant to mould.
Air-Tight Seal
The air-tight seal provided by spray foam can prevent excess leakage of air. This makes it particularly effective at increasing the longevity of stored perishables by slowing oxidation.
Improved Strength
A study by the NAHB confirmed spray foam improved the racking strength of a property’s walls by up to 300%; it can help reinforce storage containers and prevent denting.
Longevity
Unlike alternative insulators, spray foam lasts a lifetime and requires minimal maintenance, providing an excellent return on your time and investment.
Pest Barrier
Spray foam is an effective pest barrier. Its airtight seal makes it excellent at keeping bugs and rodents from sneaking through the cracks of your storage unit or breaking into your warehouse.
