Sand Springs has a long industrial history, and steel buildings are still everywhere: shops along Charles Page Boulevard and the Keystone Expressway, detached garages and workshops on hillside lots, and equipment buildings on acreage toward Mannford. Bare metal turns into an oven in summer and a refrigerator in winter.
The bigger problem is moisture. When warm, humid air meets cold steel, water condenses and drips onto vehicles, tools and floors. Fiberglass blankets slow it down until the facing tears, and then condensation forms right at the damaged seams. Rust, mildew and ruined stored items follow.
Closed-cell spray foam bonds directly to the panels and framing, seals every lap and fastener, and keeps the steel above the dew point so condensation stops at the source. Every metal building gets a free site visit and a written plan with foam thickness and total area.
Sand Springs tip
If you plan to add a mini split or heater later, insulate the roof more heavily now. It is far cheaper than adding foam after shelving and equipment are in place.
Signs Your Metal Building Needs Foam
- ✓Drips from the roof on cool or humid mornings
- ✓Rust on purlins, fasteners and tools
- ✓A shop too hot to use by midday
- ✓Torn or sagging blanket insulation
- ✓Wind and dust coming through panel laps
- ✓Plans to heat or cool the space
How Thick Should the Foam Be?
About 1 inch of closed-cell foam on the roof and walls usually stops condensation in an unheated building. It is the lowest-cost way to protect what is stored inside.
For a heated and cooled shop, 1.5 to 3 inches of closed-cell foam, roughly R-10 to R-20, is common. Many owners put more on the roof than the walls. Open-cell foam is generally not sprayed directly on metal because it absorbs moisture.
