Commercial Spray Foam Services
Resources used to run a building are one to keep a close eye on, particularly during these harsh economic times. Commercial building owners, especially, need to be wary of the amount of energy that is being used in the buildings as this will directly affect the profits generated.
One effective way of ensuring there is the least amount of energy being taken up by commercial buildings is through spray foam insulation. Once the building is properly insulated, you can expect the overall operational costs to drop dramatically to your advantage, leading to greater profits.
Spray foam insulation is a great substitute for the traditional forms of building insulations such as the fiberglass. The fluctuating weather patterns of large parts of Toronto can make energy efficiency one of the major setbacks in your business, and at RC Spray Foam, we aim at eliminating this tendency with our dedicated insulating services.
But what is spray foam? As the name suggests, spray foam is a liquid, which is sprayed on certain elements that make up a building such as roof tiles and wall cavities. The substance is made up of polyol resin and isocyanate that come together at the tip of the spraying gun to react to each other, thereby expanding and hardening to form a protective layer of foam on the sprayed area. In commercial buildings, spray foam can have a number of uses, but the most potent use is probably in the roofing area, where it can be used to coat the roofs against adversities.
There are typically two main types of spray foam insulation, which we offer that can be used in a commercial building:
Closed cell foam insulation
One is the closed cell foam insulation, which has a small and compact cell structure. It provides a very good air and water vapor barrier, due to its compact nature.
Open cell foam insulation
The other type, open cell foam insulation, uses fairly fewer chemicals and the tiny cells are not completely closed. Due to its simplicity, it comes at a relatively cheaper rate. We recommend the use of open cell foam solely for indoor purposes such as on interior walls since it provides nice sound reductions.
The prime benefit of going for our spray foam services in to save up on your long-term energy costs. In extreme summer conditions, the hot weather may have adverse effects on your products, which can lead to their malfunction and untimely damage.
Similarly, cold weather may affect products such as electric appliances in your building, which play a crucial role in your operations.

Our spray foam solutions will help you in a number ways in your commercial building. They provide:
- An airtight seal
- Energy efficiency
- A powerful mode of insulation
- Moisture protection
- Eco-friendly nature
There are several areas in your commercial building that are susceptible to air leaks. These leaks will, in turn, affect the natural temperatures in your building, which are adequate for your products to remain in the highest quality. In addition, high energy bills are mainly attributed to the presence of air leaks.
One unique quality of our spray foam product is that it is able to seep through these cracks and holes in the various areas in the building and seal them. These insulations are so effective that the seal they create has been found to be up to 24 times less prone to infiltration than other ordinary forms of insulation.
The value of energy efficiency in a commercial building can never be overstated. Not only do our spray foam insulation services save you on potentially high energy costs, the liquid sprays also save up on material costs that may have been incurred while seeking alternative methods of insulation. Compared to the 30 % energy efficiency of other insulation forms, our spray foam insulations can save up to 50 % of your commercial building’s energy usage.
Due to its airtight nature of insulation, there is virtually no room for cracks on walls and other surfaces where it is sprayed. Also, no hole is left exposed in your building. For this reason, the foam insulation product we use at RC Spray Foam is ranked one of the best in the market today.
Holes and cracks in your walls do not only expose your building to the dangers of air infiltration alone, as there is also the likelihood of water creeping in. When moisture seeps in through these cracks, it may lead to the thriving of harmful mold and mildew. Since our spray foam insulation is impermeable to water, it can act as a barrier against the airborne moisture and leaks, which could potentially be damaging to your wood and other material inside the commercial building.
Not only is spray foam water resistant, but it is also made up of inert polymer that takes away any chances of food for mold and bacteria. The material used to make the insulation allows it to have a longer lifespan. With it, your building can thrive on the insulation benefits for the longest time, before thinking of re-insulating.
Our dedicated clients are usually quick to want to know whether the spray foam services we offer are friendly to the ecological system. We, in fact, offer much more than just a seal for your wall and surfaces, as our insulation also considers the environment in different ways.
Energy Efficiency
The insulating power of spray foam significantly reduces the chances of energy wastage in a commercial building. This way, we are conserving energy use and protecting the environment.
Elimination of mold and mildew
The solution in the liquid helps in the elimination of mold and mildew. It also prevents moisture infiltration meaning you do not have to rebuild, replace, or repair your commercial building every now and then. This reduces the use of repair and building materials such as wood.
Less material consumption
Its long, indefinite lifespan makes it ideal as it means fewer materials are consumed.
There are several areas in a building where spray foams can be applied. Areas where air leakage is most likely to occur should be held with priority such as:
- Exterior walls
- Under the roof
- Basements and crawlspaces.
The comfort levels in your building and energy efficiency can only be achieved once there is proper insulation of the structure. Contact us today on 1-647-973-3626 for more details on a wide range of spray foam services that suit your commercial building insulation needs.
