Agricultural Facilities
Boost your farms efficiency, protect your livestock and crops for better yields and save money by lowering energy consumption.
Why Closed Cell Foam For Your Farm
Closed Cell Spray foam can be applied to a variety of surfaces and structures on the farm, including walls, roofs, silos, and storage units. Spray foam insulation offers comprehensive benefits that enhance the efficiency, protection, and productivity of your agricultural operations, ensuring better yields and lower energy costs.
​
Temperature Regulation:
Spray foam insulation helps maintain stable temperatures in barns, storage facilities, and livestock areas, protecting crops and animals from extreme weather conditions. This stability is crucial for maximizing productivity and ensuring the health of livestock.
​
Moisture Control:
Spray foam acts as an effective moisture barrier, preventing condensation and water infiltration. This helps reduce the risk of mold, mildew, and rot, which can damage equipment, structures, and stored products.
Improved Air Quality:
By sealing cracks and gaps, spray foam insulation reduces the infiltration of dust, pollen, and other airborne contaminants. This creates a healthier environment for both livestock and workers, enhancing overall farm productivity.
Pest Prevention: Spray foam insulation does not provide a food source for pests and helps seal off entry points, reducing the risk of infestations. This is particularly important in protecting stored crops and feed from rodents and insects.
Energy Efficiency:
Enhanced thermal insulation reduces the need for heating and cooling, leading to significant energy savings. Lower energy costs help improve the farm's profitability and contribute to sustainable farming practices.
Structural Strength: The rigid nature of closed-cell spray foam adds structural integrity to farm buildings, making them more resistant to extreme weather and wear over time. This added strength prolongs the lifespan of barns, storage units, and other agricultural structures.
​
Noise Reduction:
Spray foam provides excellent sound insulation, reducing noise from machinery and external sources. This creates a quieter and more controlled environment for livestock, which can reduce stress and improve animal welfare.

Closed Cell Vs Competition
Fiber Glass
Closed-cell spray foam can save between 20-50% on energy bills compared to traditional fiberglass insulation. This is because fiberglass often allows air infiltration through gaps and does not provide an air or moisture barrier.
Cellulose Insulation
Closed-cell spray foam can offer 20-40% more energy savings than cellulose insulation. Cellulose can settle over time, reducing its effectiveness and leaving gaps for air leakage.
Wool/Cotton Insulation
Closed-cell spray foam is superior to wool and cotton insulation due to its non air permeable and moisture resistance properties, which enhance overall energy efficiency, durability, structural strength and conforms to irregular shapes, offering a comprehensive solution that wool and cotton insulations cannot match.
Open-Cell Spray Foam
Closed-cell spray foam generally provides about 10-20% more energy savings than open-cell spray foam due to its higher density and better air and moisture barrier properties.
