Spray Foam Insulation
Advantages of Spray Foam on the Exterior of a Metal Building
Applying roofing spray foam insulation to the exterior of a metal building offers significant advantages, including enhanced energy efficiency through a superior R-value and air seal, waterproofing and leak prevention, improved structural strength, condensation and moisture control, noise reduction, increased building longevity, and potential for cost savings on energy bills. The foam creates a seamless, air-tight, and durable protective layer that can also improve indoor air quality by blocking pollutants.
Superior Energy Efficiency
Spray foam provides high R-values, creating a thermal barrier that reduces heat transfer and lowers energy costs for heating and cooling.
Waterproofing & Leak Protection
It acts as a continuous, seamless barrier, sealing gaps and preventing leaks, which is particularly beneficial for metal roofs prone to openings.
Structural Reinforcement
Closed-cell spray foam has high compressive strength, reinforcing the metal structure and adding stability to resist high winds, hail, and other extreme weather events.
Moisture & Condensation Control
The foam acts as a vapor barrier, preventing condensation from accumulating on or within the metal surfaces, which helps stop mold growth, corrosion, and structural damage.
Noise Reduction
The dense nature of spray foam provides excellent soundproofing qualities, dampening exterior noise and reducing interior echoes, creating a quieter and more comfortable environment.
Improved Air Quality
By creating an air-tight seal, the insulation prevents the infiltration of outdoor pollutants, dust, allergens, and other contaminants, leading to better indoor air quality.
Increased Longevity
By protecting the metal from moisture, temperature fluctuations, and structural stress, spray foam insulation helps extend the lifespan of the metal building.
Seamless, Continuous Barrier
Unlike traditional insulation, spray foam conforms to irregular surfaces and expands to fill every gap, creating a complete, air-tight seal for optimal performance.
Lightweight & Durable
Spray foam adds strength without significant weight and provides a durable, long-lasting solution for insulating metal structures.
Customer Feedback
We have had Lakes come out to help troubleshoot and repair our complicated heating and cooling system for our 11-room bed and breakfast. They sent Louie, who was exceptionally competent, very professional and thorough in his work. We appreciate working with him!

In an area where it can be difficult to find an appliance repairman to come in a remotely timely fashion, this was a breath of fresh air. I called first thing in the morning for our A/C leaking and they were able to fit me in just a couple hours later. Jesse was friendly, professional and efficient. Highly recommend!

I am extremely happy with Lakes Plumbing and Heating. They have been there for me with my personal home and for my business needs. I refer them to my clients and have heard wonderful feedback on both ends. It is nice to have a company that stands behind there service and products with a great group of men and women on their team! Thank you, for all your hard work.
