Can Spray Foam Insulation be applied on Metal?

New Spray Foam Insulation Sweet Home, Oregon
​Metal is one of the most popular choices for commercial structures and buildings because it is durable, economical and easy to maintain. However, metal buildings lose and gain heat easily because metal is a good conductor of heat. This will leave your building hot in summer and cool in winter. Thus one way in which you can combat this is to use a good insulation.

You may have heard that spray foam insulation will rust metal but this is not entirely true. Though there are some low grade spray form products in Sweet Home, Oregon that are available today which when used have an acidic reaction with metal, any good spray foam insulation contractor in Sweet Home, Oregon will not use any product that will cause damage to your building.
​
However it has been noticed that closed cell spray foam insulation can react with a metal in a building because of condensation. Because spray foam is sprayed at a high temperature, when it comes in contact with the cold metal surface, the water vapor condenses and gets trapped onto the metal. A good idea when using spray foam insulation on metal is to warm up the space before applying the spray foam. 
Residential Spray Foam Insulation Sweet Home, Oregon
Before applying spray foam insulation on metal a good spray foam insulation contractor in Sweet Home will most probably do a short pass of spray foam on the substrate. This technique is known as flashing.

​Otherwise, the metal can be wiped down properly and then sprayed with spray foam insulation. This ensures that there are no water droplets on the metal substrate and it will prevent rusting of the metal.
​
Another reason why metal rusts when spray foam insulation in Sweet Home, Oregon is used is because of the use of a plastic sheet or liner on the substrate before spraying the spray foam. This is done in case the metal needs to be changed, but using the plastic sheet can cause condensation problems.

Using low grade open cell spray foam insulation too can cause some amount of rusting but as long as your spray foam insulation contractor in Sweet Home, Oregon uses good quality and premium products you will have no issues with rusting.
Metal Building Spray Foam Insulation Sweet Home, Oregon
Using spray foam insulation on metal has several advantages such as:
​
  • Protecting metal building from harsh weather conditions and outside elements including insects and pests.
  • When used in metal buildings, spray foam insulation will help to regulate the temperature and this will leave your building cool in summer and warm in winter.
  • Spray foam insulation is a great alternative to cellulose and fiberglass insulation that allow moisture and air to pass through and may cause rusting when used on metal.
  • Spray foam insulation can be used for several industrial applications such as plumbing, piping, tanks, and commercial cold storages.

Why it is Important to Leave Your Home after Spray Foam Insulation has been Installed

Home Spray Foam Insulation Sweet Home, Oregon
During the installation of spray foam insulation in Sweet Home, Oregon in new constructions and especially in existing homes, it is very important that ventilation, air circulation and climate control is maintained. If spray foam insulation is not installed correctly and cured properly, it will give off an odor inside your home or building structure therefore hindering the air quality.
Spray foam insulation that gives off odor can have severe negative health effects on those breathing the fumes. If you or your family members have asthma, skin problems respiratory illnesses, allergies or has faced prior sensitization to isocyanates, you should be very careful about the exposure to spray foam insulation fumes indoors.
​
The release of isocyanates and other chemicals indoors is known as off-gassing and this is potentially toxic to humans and pets. This is why it is recommended to leave your home for at least 24 to 48 hours after spray foam insulation has been installed in your home or commercial building. How long you need to leave the area for depends on the type of spray foam product that has been used.
Spray Foam Insulation Sweet Home, Oregon
There are other factors too that determine how long you should vacate your house or building in which spray foam insulation has been used are. For example if the spray foam is being used in large amounts on the inside of your home then off-gassing will occur for a longer period of time. Another reason could be if your home or building structure has less air circulation and ventilation. Lack of air circulation will slow down the off-gassing process and will leave chemicals suspended in the air for a longer period of time.
​
If you want to be completely safe and if there is still a little amount of odor inside your house after the spray foam insulation has been installed and the recommended time period of vacating your home has passed, you can use air purifiers that will filter and neutralize any toxic chemicals and odor in the air. You can also get a purifier with a HEPA filter to remove particulate matter which could be as tiny as 0.3 µm in size. Once the odor is completely gone and the spray foam insulation has completely cured it is perfectly safe to re-occupy your home.

Insulating your Cathedral Ceiling with Spray Foam Insulation

Roofs Spray Foam Insulation Sweet Home, Oregon
If you have a cathedral ceiling in your home and are spending a lot on your energy bills, insulating your ceiling with spray foam insulation in Sweet Home, Oregon is the best option. Installing a cathedral ceiling with spray foam insulation is different than doing regular ceilings because in case of the former, the process is a bit more invasive. Your spray foam insulation contractor in Sweet Home, Oregon will have to cut panels and then install the spray foam. Strips that are one to two feet will be cut in the middle of the stud cavities which are on either side of the peak. This will enable the installer to spray the spray foam in each cavity right from the soffit up to the peak.

If you already have any other type of insulation that was installed, it will have to be removed so that the spray foam insulation sticks on the underside of your roof. After the spray foam insulation is installed, the installer will place drywall back in place where he cut the strips and mud is spread over all the seams.
​
Using spray foam insulation in your cathedral ceiling in your home will definitely help to cut down on energy costs and it will create an air seal in your home which means that there will be significantly less leakage of air through the roof.
