Services
Metal Building Insulation
Our metal building insulation systems combine formaldehyde-free fiberglass with reinforced vapor barriers to control heat transfer, prevent condensation, and reduce noise. These solutions improve energy efficiency while providing Class A fire-rated protection. The facing materials enhance light reflectivity and create attractive interior finishes for commercial structures.
Pole Barn Insulation
Pole barn insulation solutions include faced fiberglass blankets and polyisocyanurate boards that control moisture, reduce energy costs, and protect stored contents. Our systems offer fire-resistant, easy-install options for agricultural, storage, and workshop applications while maintaining cost-effectiveness for budget-conscious projects.
Geofoam Applications
Lightweight EPS geofoam provides engineered fill solutions for roadways, retaining walls, and stadium seating. This moisture-resistant material offers structural support while reducing lateral pressure on foundations. Its ease of installation accelerates project timelines compared to traditional fill materials.
Basement Wall Insulation
Our foundation blanket insulation features flame-resistant polypropylene facing for below-grade applications. This system eliminates framing requirements while providing continuous vapor barrier protection. The solution reduces heat loss through concrete walls by up to 20% while preventing moisture-related issues in unfinished basements.
Polyisocyanurate Boards
High-performance polyisocyanurate boards offer excellent thermal resistance for exposed applications. Available with foil or white facings, these rigid panels provide structural support while maintaining moisture resistance. Ideal for cold storage facilities and agricultural buildings requiring durable, long-term insulation solutions.
Questions
What types of insulation do you recommend for metal buildings?
We recommend faced fiberglass batts with reinforced vapor barriers for most metal buildings. These systems control condensation, improve energy efficiency, and provide Class A fire protection while maintaining ease of installation.
Do you provide insulation solutions for residential applications?
Yes, we offer basement wall insulation systems and foundation blankets specifically designed for residential applications. Our products help reduce heating costs while preventing moisture-related issues in unfinished spaces.
How does your geofoam compare to traditional fill materials?
Our EPS geofoam weighs 1/100th of soil while providing superior load-bearing capacity. It installs faster without heavy equipment, resists moisture, and maintains dimensional stability over time compared to traditional gravel or soil fills.
What vapor barrier options are available?
We offer multiple vapor barrier facings with perm ratings as low as 0.02, including white polypropylene, metallized polyester, and reinforced aluminum foil options. These systems control moisture migration while providing durable interior finishes.
Can I install your insulation products myself?
Many of our faced fiberglass products are designed for DIY installation with basic tools. We provide detailed installation guides and technical support to ensure proper application for both residential and commercial projects.
Do you offer nationwide service?
Yes, we serve all 50 states with nationwide distribution. Our team provides technical support, product selection assistance, and energy code compliance documentation regardless of project location.
