We insulate the parts of a growing operation that should be insulated, and we are straight with growers about the parts that should not be.
That is worth saying plainly in a town with close to two thousand acres under glass, where plenty of people have been sold the wrong thing.
Nobody sprays foam on glass or poly. The whole point of the structure is light transmission and foam is opaque. If somebody offers to insulate your growing area with spray foam, that is a reason to stop the conversation.
Roof heat loss on a modern range is handled by energy curtains, and that is the right tool for it.
Headhouses, grading lines and packing rooms, which are usually heated harder than the range itself and are often barely insulated at all.
Cold storage and shipping areas, where the vapour drive in a Leamington August is severe. For heavier refrigerated or industrial work, see commercial and cold storage insulation.
Boiler rooms and mechanical spaces, and the pipe runs through unheated areas where the heat is not doing anything useful.
North gable ends, which get almost no useful light and lose heat all winter.
Perimeter curtain walls below bench height. Once the curtains are handling the roof, the walls become a disproportionate share of the total loss, and this is usually the shortest payback on the site.
Closed cell foam sprayed to the underside of a steel roof deck stops the condensation drip that ruins stored equipment and feed. On a barn that is often the main reason for doing it rather than the heat saving.
Pole frame shops, machinery storage and workshop conversions all take foam well, and the irregular framing that makes batts awkward is not a problem for it.
For livestock buildings the washdown durability and the fact that foam gives rodents nothing to nest in both matter as much as the R-value.
A scope that separates the work by payback rather than pricing the whole site as one number. We would rather do the perimeter and the packhouse this year and leave the rest than sell you everything at once.
We will also give you a written spec with the product and the installed thickness, which matters if you are putting the work through any kind of efficiency program.
Tell us the range size, how it is heated and which buildings are on the site. We will walk it and come back with a scope in order of what pays back first. See every service we offer on the Leamington Spray Foam Insulation home page.
We work on houses, garages, crawl spaces, new builds, greenhouse sites and farm buildings throughout the south of Essex County.
An attic is the cheapest comfort you can buy in most Leamington houses, and it is usually the first thing we look at. Warm indoor air rises, finds every gap in the ceiling, and takes moisture with it on the way out.

Most calls about a cold garage in Leamington are really calls about something attached to it. The bedroom above it, or the kitchen wall it shares with the house.

Closed cell spray foam applied straight onto the foundation wall does three jobs at once. It insulates, it seals the air, and at the right thickness it is its own vapour control layer.

Crawl spaces cause more comfort complaints than anything else we deal with, and almost all of them come down to one design assumption that no longer holds.

The insulation decision changed when the 2024 code came into force. The R-values went up and, more importantly, the emphasis moved toward airtightness and whole-building performance.

Insulation does not last forever, and in a damp climate it often does not last as long as people expect. When the existing material is wet, mouldy, rodent damaged or flattened, it has to come out before anything new goes in.

Commercial buildings have a different insulation problem to a house. They are large, often steel framed, and usually holding a temperature a long way from the outside air.
