Spray Foam insulation.

[Mr.Glock]

Had one of my shops sprayed. Notice the color difference in just 3 days. The interior is still white. UV Rays plays havoc on spray foam. I was told to get it painted quick. I did just that. But just three days it changed drastically! And the section that started turning fast is not exposed to direct light. Last photos show the foam that has been on for 5 years, they told me it does do that but wiill not deteriorate at all, just unpainted in direct sunlight.

A friends son does Spray Foam and builds Metal Buildings. He does great work.

You have to paint spray foam?

You have to paint spray foam?

Only if it’s going to be exposed to the elements

 

[Mr.Glock]

You have to paint spray foam?

Only if it is in full direct sunlight. The portion I painted was under an attached roof area of the shop. And about 3-4 feet gets full Sun rays on it. So I painted the area out there.

Another thing that impresses me with it, is the rigidity and strength it adds to metal walls and ceilings. And the sound deadening is impressive as well.

 

[Oklahomabassin]

Thank you for the explanation.

It seems pretty impressive.

When we built our barn in 2017, spray foam insulation was only about $1000 more than foil back sheet insulation.

Looking good

Spray foam is a great addition, structural and sound. Makes shop more bearable in summer and winter, for sure.

Yes it does, that’s why I had that west wall outside sprayed even though it is outside. I do most of my work out there as it is open and gets good wind through there!

And I want to kick my own ass for not thinking and had them do under the roof out there too! Damn it.

You answered my question of "why didn't he do the roof?"
