Middendorf Seafood Restaurant in Akers, La has been serving the public for 40 plus years. They have inside dinning along with a covered outdoor dining area for their patrons to enjoy the view of the water along with their delicious food. There was only one drawback to the outdoor dining. The diners were sitting under a hot tin roof and in southern Louisiana, it gets hot. Typically, older metal roofs reach temperatures of 150 degrees or more.
After talking with Sunlight Contractors, Middendorf’s decided to have spray foam insulation applied on the inside of the roof to help give their outdoor diners a better experience. Here is some of the information Ira gave to Middendorfs to help them make an informed choice.
Why Closed Cell is Used on Metal Roofs
The application of closed-cell spray polyurethane foam (SPF) in metal buildings and metal roofs improves the buildings energy efficiency, structural integrity, and moisture resistance. It is a high-performance insulation and moisture control by sealing and controlling condensation. Applied properly, closed cell spray foam insulation will never cause an issue when applied correctly to metal. Temperature controls during application ensure SPF performance and it is a good idea to have a certified spray foam insulation installer.
In terms of cost, the replacement of metal roofing and wall panels can cost $10 to $13 per square foot. SPF application can range from below $3 to $5 per sq. ft. – less than half the replacement cost – while providing both additional insulation, waterproofing and deter maintenance costs.
SPF can add years to a building
Properly designed, constructed and maintained, a metal building or roof assembly should last 15 to 30 years before serious maintenance is required. Yet, thousands of metal buildings and metal roofing need repair or replacement long before their expected life span. Properly installed, SPF can expand the life of metal building and metal roof.
Closed cell insulation applied at 3 to 4 inches thick will prevent inside roof temperatures from reaching their dew point thus stopping condensation.
Whether your are in New Orleans or west in areas like Metairie, Elmwood to the south west, Chalmette, Estelle, Bell Chase, Bayous, Jean Lafitte, Wills Point you will find numerous metal building. Expanding the life of your metal machine shed, or industrial warehouse, or metal storage shed can be achieved with closed cell spray foam insulation. The same can be stated whether you are in Baton Rouge, Denham Springs, Prairieville, or the surrounding Slidell area of Louisiana, you have experiences the hot moist air of our southern region. Metal buildings take a beating due to high humidity and high temperatures.
Owners can make their older metal machine sheds, industrial buildings, or metal machine shops last longer and give them more utility of use by applying foam insulation. The newer aluminum building tout cooler reflective metals, however, there still is a big temperature change, in addition to air leakage, and condensation problems that arise with any type of metal roof. Spray foam will make your indoor metal building, garage, or shed temperature workable and affordable.
Whether you have an older tin metal building or a newer aluminum building by Mueller, Inc, Mallett Buildings, Simpson’s Metal Buildings, Factor Steel Building in Marksville, La it will function better and be more usable with spray foam insulation.
