If you opt for a cheaper insulation with a lower R-Value (like Fiberglass or Cellulose, with an R-Value of R-3.2 - R-3.8 per inch), that will inevitably translate to lost profits., Compromised operations & crops, and a plethora of unnecessary energy expenditures that can cost you thousands of dollars, annually, if not more.

Common Questions
Why closed-cell for a farm building?
Because the problem is usually condensation rather than comfort. A metal shell has high conductivity and a large interior volume, so moisture forms on the underside of the skin. Closed-cell sprayed directly to the metal stops it forming there at all.
Can foam be sprayed straight onto metal?
Yes, and for this application it is the point. The foam bonds to the panel, which removes the cold surface the moisture was condensing on.
Does this work for pole barns and shops?
Yes. Pole buildings, equipment sheds, shops and processing space all behave the same way: a thin skin, a big volume and nothing to buffer moisture.
