Residential Applications
SPF Insulation offers energy efficiency and air sealing capabilities that are unmatched by other types of insulation options. NCFI’s residential construction SPF products save homeowners money in the long run with less maintenance fees and lower utility bills.
Spray Foam Insulation for Residential Properties
Walls
SPF insulation fills gaps in walls, sealing air leaks that cause discomfort and energy waste. It improves indoor air quality, enhances comfort, and boosts energy efficiency, making homes healthier and more cost-effective to maintain.
Ceilings
Ceilings are essential for regulating temperature and preventing energy loss. SPF insulation helps control moisture, reduce noise, and improve structural integrity while maintaining a comfortable, energy-efficient indoor environment year-round.
Attics
As one of the largest sources of heat gain and loss in a home, properly insulating attics with spray-applied polyurethane foam stops air leakage, gives the homeowner control over indoor temperatures, and turns previously wasted attic areas into valuable living spaces for little cost with added retail market value.
Floors
Floors of all different types can be insulated. SPF solutions like InsulStar Light seals construction gaps and cavities in floors, preventing drafts and moisture. This improves comfort by maintaining consistent temperatures, reduces energy consumption, and can protect against mold growth and frozen pipes in under-insulated areas like basements and crawlspaces. Floors can also be insulated for soundproofing purposes, allowing less noise to travel between floors or room to room.
Basements
Everyone is too familiar with the drafty basement. These spaces are more susceptible to drafts, moisture, and energy loss. SPF insulation creates an airtight seal, improving energy efficiency, reducing temperature fluctuations, and protecting your home from moisture, mold, and structural damage while maintaining a comfortable living space.
Crawlspaces
Closed-cell SPF applied in crawlspaces prevents air leaks, moisture buildup, and pest infestations. It seals gaps and provides superior thermal performance, improving energy efficiency and protecting your home from temperature variations, mold, and structural issues.
Commercial Applications
SPF Insulation for commercial buildings provides superior energy efficiency, airtight sealing, and moisture resistance. It’s an investment that reduces operational costs, enhances comfort, and promotes long-term sustainability for your building.
Spray Foam Uses for Commercial Buildings
Exterior Walls
Poor insulation in exterior walls is a major contributor to energy loss in commercial buildings. Spray foam insulation, like InsulBloc, can be applied directly to any masonry surface, expanding into all gaps and creating a seamless membrane between the wall and studs. This eliminates thermal and moisture gaps, sealing joints and preventing air infiltration, ensuring consistent thermal control and energy savings.
Masonry Cavity Walls
Masonry cavity walls are prone to gaps and breaks in traditional insulation systems, leading to air leaks, water intrusion, and reduced energy efficiency. InsulBloc spray foam fills these gaps, forming a continuous barrier that improves thermal performance, prevents moisture infiltration, and eliminates air leakage around penetrations, making it an ideal choice for long-lasting, high-performance insulation.
Roof Decks
InsulStar® Light is ideal for insulating roof decks, transforming unused spaces into functional areas. When applied directly to roof decks, it provides superior insulation and seals air leaks, reducing heat loss and improving energy efficiency. It’s perfect for creating conditioned attic or cathedral ceiling spaces.
Interior Ceilings and Walls
For interior ceilings and walls, spray foam insulation provides superior air sealing and moisture control. It meets code compliance requirements while offering high R-values and improving energy performance. Spray foam also enhances the structural integrity of walls and ceilings and helps with soundproofing between rooms or floors, ensuring a quieter, more comfortable commercial environment.
Roofing Applications
Spray Foam Roofing Systems provide superior durability, energy efficiency, and long-term performance compared to traditional roofing options. They create a seamless, waterproof barrier that protects your building from the elements, reducing maintenance costs and extending the lifespan of your roof.
Spray Foam Roofing
Spray foam roofing is an excellent choice for both new builds and roof renewals. It’s ideal for a wide range of roof types, including flat, sloped, and irregular shapes. SPF is applied directly over existing roofing systems, filling cracks and gaps and providing a seamless, monolithic layer. It adapts to any roof configuration, ensuring complete protection around pipes, skylights, and drains—helping to eliminate leaks and reduce energy costs.
Roof Coating
To protect against UV degradation and extend the life of the SPF roof, a protective coating is applied. Depending on your needs, two coating options are available: Acrylic Elastomeric or Silicone. These coatings provide additional waterproofing, enhance energy efficiency, and help prevent environmental wear and tear, making your SPF roof a long-lasting, low-maintenance solution for commercial, residential, or agricultural buildings
Agricultural Applications
Because of AgriThane’s superior insulating power, airtight closed-cell formulation, and simple spray-on application, its uses in an agricultural setting are virtually limitless.
The Many Uses of AgriThane
Liquid Storage Tanks
AgriThane can be sprayed directly on vertical or horizontal tanks of any shape, making it an excellent choice for insulating tanks and storage vessels for liquid materials such as water, fats and oils, and slurries. It can also be applied for insulating processing tanks used in the beverage and spirit processing industries.
Cold Storage and Freezer Applications
AgriThane can be used in the design and construction of cold storage and freezer facilities used to store fruits and vegetables, nuts and other perishable food items. It helps assure constant temperatures and the closed-cell design means much lower water vapor perm values per inch. It’s also an excellent insulation for processing plants, refrigerated warehouses and distribution centers.
Metal Buildings, Pole Barns, Sheds and Structures
AgriThane is an excellent choice for the farm or ranch to insulate various types of out buildings such as workshops, equipment storage, bagged or bulk feed storage, and general use type structures. It will help keep work areas comfortable in winter or summer, and will actually “tighten” a building constructed of metal panels and add to its structural integrity. It also reduces interior noise levels.
Grain Storage and Silos
AgriThane can be used to help control dust and moisture problems experienced around grain and animal feed storage by sealing cracks and seams along exterior and interior bin bottoms or tops. It also helps reduce insect migration and can conserve heat during drying. It provides an airtight seal that reduces waste during fumigation of grain storage facilities. When used with NCFI Polyurethanes EnduraTech™* line of premium roof coatings, AgriThane can also be used to refurbish old or weathered silo tops, eliminating the need for any costly replacements or repairs.
Poultry Housing Insulation
AgriThane can be used in existing houses, new houses or for retro-fit projects. It is a superior choice for solid or curtain wall designs. By eliminating air infiltration, it can increase tunnel fan operation. It can also improve the structural integrity of older style houses. AgriThane can be formulated and applied in black providing blackout conditions.
Livestock Housing
AgriThane can be used to insulate dairy barns or milk houses, swine holding or farrowing houses, horse barns, and cattle barns. It provides consistent temperature control to reduce stress levels in livestock caused by temperature extremes during summer or winter months. It can also be used to reduce radiant heat under sheds and covers during summer months.
