Commercial
Although we specialize
in sprayed foam, we can install other types of insulation. Give us a
call for a price estimate and information on the right insulation for
your job.
The
Installation Process for Commercial Structures when using spray foam.
There are two
different ways to install All Season's Foam Insulation:
1. Spray
it onto any open surface and studded wall
2. Pour
it into an existing wall cavity when renovating.
A trained, ASFI
installer must be used in both cases.
With any open
surface, All Season's Foam Insulation can be sprayed on once electrical
and plumbing services are in place. It then expands to 100 times its
initial volume in seconds, permanently adhering to the surfaces of
the surrounding building materials and sealing all gaps.
For retrofitting
existing walls, a slower expanding formulation of All Season's Foam
Insulation can also be used during renovations. The material is simply
injected into small holes drilled into plaster or gypsum walls, or
from the outside of the wall.
Weather
is not a factor!
It can be installed
in hot, humid, raining or freezing conditions. This part of construction
won't be held up due to weather. Surface preparation is generally
not necessary. Within minutes, the foaming process is complete and
the walls may be covered. Any installation gaps are subject to immediate
visual quality control and can be fixed right away.
Ideal
for Commercial Steel Buildings
Spray
Foam is ideally suited for steel construction.
The foam will immediately fill cracks and crevices providing unrivaled
sealing capability. It works exceptionally well in difficult to insulate
places such as tight spaces, around plumbing and wiring, and adheres
to other materials too. It completely seals around joints, crevices
and spaces such as steel stud "U" and "C" sections.
No additional interior or exterior air infiltration protection is
necessary.

Are
there Building Code Approvals?
All Season's
Foam complies with the BOCA, SBCCI and the ICBO Uniform Building Codes.
The Council of American Building Officials National Evaluation Service
has evaluated it. It has been the subject of research projects by
the NAHB Research Center and the Florida Solar Energy Center in Cape
Canaveral, Florida.
Health problem
concerns associated with other building products in recent years such
as asbestos, urea formaldehyde and glass fibers, lead authorities
to dictate the ground rules for acceptance of new building materials.
Spray Foam Insulation
became, to the best of our knowledge, the most extensively tested
insulation material on the market today. The testing included the
most sensitive emissions tests developed to date, tests that few other
building materials have ever been through.
Technical
Data:
Thermal Performance
Thermal resistance [R-value] ASTM CS18: R3.6 hr. ft2 ¡F/BTU
Rsi 0.62 m2 ¡C/W per 25 mm Average insulation contribution in stud
wall: 2" x 4" = R13 2" x 6" = R20
ASFI provides
more effective performance than the equivalent R-value of hand fitted
air permeable insulation materials. It is not subject to loss of R-value
due to aging, windy conditions, settling, convection or air infiltration;
nor is it likely to be affected by moisture related conditions.
Air permeability
of core foam:
ASTM E283 data
0.0049 L/S-m2 @75 Pa for 5.25" 0.0080 L/S-m2 @75 Pa for 3.25" Spaces
where ASFI is not installed, such as between double studs and between
flooring and base plates, should be caulked for maximum performance.
In all buildings, adequate mechanical ventilation/air supply should
be provided for optimum Indoor Air Quality. Inadequate ventilation
could be a health hazard.
