Commercial, shop and pole barn spray foam insulation sprays closed cell foam straight onto the metal or wood skin of a building, which stops the condensation, stiffens the structure and makes the space possible to heat. The work is insured, and we quote by the square foot at a stated thickness.
Orillia's commercial buildings are a mix: the steel-clad shops in the industrial park, the boat storage buildings and service bays at the marinas on both lakes, retail and office space along Memorial Avenue and West Street, and the pole barns, horse barns and equipment sheds across Oro-Medonte and Severn. They share one problem. A thin skin over an open frame sweats on the inside every time the temperature swings, and foam sprayed to that skin fixes it at the surface where it happens.
A steel-clad shop drips in spring and fall because the inside face of the cladding is below the dew point of the air inside. Fibreglass blanket with a vinyl facing traps that moisture and sags. Closed cell spray foam insulation bonds directly to the steel between the girts and purlins, keeps the inside face warm and dry, and adds enough stiffness that the panels stop oil-canning in the wind. Two inches is a common wall spec and three on the roof; the quote states it.
Indoor boat storage on Lake Simcoe and Lake Couchiching holds a lot of damp fibreglass in a cold building for six months. Condensation dripping from a roof deck onto stored boats is a real cost. Spray foam insulation on the roof deck and the upper walls stops the drip, and it lets the building be kept just above freezing for a fraction of what an uninsulated shell costs to heat. Service bays and shops at the marinas get the same treatment and become workable in January.
A pole barn in Oro-Medonte with a steel roof rains on the equipment inside it every March. Foam on the underside of the roof and on the walls stops it, and the same building becomes a shop or a heated barn for the price of the foam. Horse barns need ventilation kept in the design; we insulate the shell and leave the air changes to the barn plan. Where livestock or feed are present the foam is covered with a tested coating or a panel, and that is written into the quote.
Retail, office and service buildings around Orillia are usually sprayed after hours or in sections so the business keeps running. Cold storage, mechanical rooms and additions are staged with the site contractor. Every commercial quote names the product, the thickness, the area and the thermal barrier or coating that Ontario's code requires over foam, so the number a property manager takes upstairs is the whole number.
Send the building size and use to our contact page or call +1 (705) 805-5871 and we will come out with a tape and a moisture meter. Detached workshops on residential lots are covered on the garage page, and the Orillia Spray Foam Insulation home page covers the houses.
The same closed cell and open cell spray foam insulation goes into every other part of the building.
Attic spray foam insulation seals the air leaks in the ceiling and insulates over them in one visit, which is what stops ice dams and bare roof stripes on Orillia houses. All of our work is fully insured, and the quote is written before anything is sprayed.

Basement spray foam insulation puts closed cell foam directly on the foundation wall, where it insulates, blocks vapour and seals the joint between concrete and wood in one product. The work is insured, and every basement quote names the thickness in writing.

Crawl space spray foam insulation seals the walls and the rim joist with closed cell foam, closes the vents and turns a cold, damp box under the floor into part of the heated house. Insurance covers the work, and the quote covers the ground sheet as well as the foam.

Garage spray foam insulation makes an attached garage stop pulling heat out of the house beside it and above it, and makes a detached garage usable all winter. The work is insured, and the quote separates the ceiling, the shared wall and the outside walls so you can choose what to do.

New construction spray foam insulation seals and insulates a new house, addition or cottage while the framing is open, so the envelope is right once and never has to be opened again. Insurance covers the work, and we schedule around the framer, the electrician and the drywall crew.

Closed cell and open cell spray foam insulation are two different products for two different jobs, and choosing the wrong one is the most common mistake we are called to fix around Orillia. All of our work is fully insured, and every quote names which product goes on which surface.

Insulation removal and replacement takes out foam that failed, or batts that got wet or were chewed through, and replaces them with foam installed properly. The work is insured, and we photograph what we remove so the quote shows why.

Cottage and waterfront spray foam insulation turns a seasonal building on Lake Simcoe, Lake Couchiching, Bass Lake or the Severn River into one that can be lived in through an Orillia winter. Insurance covers the work, and the quote is written in the order the work should be done so you can do it in stages.
View Cottage and Waterfront InsulationWe come to the building, measure, and write the quote. There is no charge for the visit and no obligation to go ahead.
Describe the space as well as you can and we will phone to set the visit. The form sends with just a name and a number. If you would rather talk, call +1 (705) 805-5871.
