Chatham-Kent's agri-food sector moves an enormous amount of produce through packing, grading and cold storage. Those buildings live or die on their envelope.
We insulate cold rooms, produce storage, warehouses, workshops, mechanical rooms and light manufacturing across the municipality.

A refrigerated space punishes every weakness in the envelope.
Thermal bridges show up as frost lines. Air paths let humid outside air in, where it condenses or freezes inside the assembly. Both make the plant work harder and both get worse over time.
Closed-cell foam is continuous and adhered, so there are no gaps and no cavity. It handles the vapor drive from warm outside to cold inside, which is constant and one-directional in a cold room.
Its R-value per inch is the highest of the practical options, which matters when internal dimensions are fixed and every inch of wall thickness costs you storage volume.
These spaces often sit between temperatures — cooler than outside in summer, warmer in winter, and washed down regularly.
They also tend to have been added to over the years, which means mixed construction and a lot of junctions where things were joined imperfectly.
Foam is good at exactly that, because it seals junctions between different assemblies without needing a detail drawn for each one.
Food handling areas have their own covering and finish requirements, and we work to whatever your operation is inspected against.
Large volumes drive heating cost the most, and roof deck work usually gives the best return there.
We also insulate mechanical and boiler rooms, both to contain heat and to keep noise and temperature out of adjoining space.
Loading areas and docks need attention too, since the envelope is broken by doors that open constantly and sealing the rest becomes more important.
Offices built inside a larger shell often need heating to a completely different standard than the space around them.
We phase the work. Sections get prepared, sprayed and returned to use while the next section is set up, so the building keeps running.
Nights, weekends and shutdown windows work well for us, and so does coordinating with your other trades so nobody is spraying while somebody else is running conduit.
Re-entry periods have to be built into the schedule, and we plan them explicitly rather than hoping they fit.
The quote comes with a schedule showing which areas are out of use on which days.
We assess the building, discuss how it operates, and give you a written specification with a fixed price and a phased timeline.

Chatham Spray Foam Insulation works on farm, commercial and residential buildings throughout Chatham-Kent.
Farm buildings are the core of what we spray. We insulate barns, machine sheds, grain storage, packing and grading rooms, workshops and equipment bays across Chatham-Kent.

Chatham-Kent holds more than 20 million square feet of greenhouse, the second largest concentration in Ontario. Growing facilities are a specialist insulation job and we treat them as one.

This is the most common building we are asked about. Somebody wants to heat a shop through the winter without the cost being absurd, or wants the dripping from the roof to stop.

Animal housing is the most demanding insulation environment on a farm. Stock generate constant heat and a great deal of moisture, and ventilation moves it onto every cold surface in the building.

Closed-cell is the insulation behind almost every agricultural and commercial job we do. It is dense, rigid, and a vapor barrier as well as an insulator.
View Closed-Cell Spray Foam
Open-cell is the lighter, softer, cheaper spray foam insulation. It expands much further than closed-cell, seals air just as effectively, and costs roughly half as much per board foot.

We do houses too, including attics, crawl spaces, basement walls, rim joists and new builds throughout Chatham-Kent.
View Residential Spray Foam Insulation
If your foam insulation smells, has shrunk away from the framing, or is crumbling, it was installed badly. It can be put right, but not by spraying over it.
