We are one of the leading providers of spray foam insulation in Fresno, Central and North California. Our products at Extreme Industrial Coatings have been used in many buildings both industrial and commercial to help improve the thermal insulation properties of their walls, tanks, & other parts of their facilities. We\u2019ve helped improve energy-efficiency in these areas.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div> Foam insulation<\/em> is fast-becoming an industry standard when it comes to keeping interior spaces thermally-efficient by preventing the usual movement of air between the inside and outside of a building. Foam insulation is composed of 2 liquid components that are combined and induce a chemical reaction upon contact with the surface that needs to be insulated. With the initiation of the chemical reaction, the liquid component together with the blast of air that is used to spray it with expands to create polyurethane foam. This is what effectively seals the gaps, cracks, or any other imperfections on the wall or surface where air can easily pass through, effectively creating a barrier between the inside and outside environments.<\/span><\/p>\n Foam insulation technically involves the creation of an air-tight, impermeable barrier between the inside of your property and the outside environment so that denser cold air will not move into the less dense warm air. It\u2019s like putting plastic insulation on your walls, floors, and ceilings, except that the plastic membrane is sprayed onto such surfaces and allowed to expand to form a seal. It is not plastered on.<\/span><\/p>\n Tanks that need to be maintained at certain temperatures require a lot of power consumption. Foam insulation can minimize the costs of this dramatically<\/strong>. With the use of polyurea over the foam<\/a> this provides a system that is extremely durable and prevents birds or insects from penetrating the coating.<\/span><\/p>\n More than a third of air can infiltrate your home, office, commercial establishment, business, or industrial facility through the walls, floors, and even ceilings. This can be further worsened if there are cracks, holes, crevices, or any other imperfection in surfaces where air can easily move in and out of the building.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n If it is hot outside and you have your air conditioning in full blast, the cold air inside your building will move out through these cracks and spaces in your walls or ceilings, thus heating up your interior space. Because you now have a slightly higher temperature inside your home, your air conditioning unit will have to work even harder. This can be readily seen in your next electric bill whereby you will see a spike in your power consumption.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>What Is Foam Insulation?<\/span><\/h2>\n
