Every job has its quirks, and this shop was no different. The owner cleaned out an old equipment shop, poured a new concrete slab and installed a large floor drain, then called in Seamless Systems to turn it into a warm, conditioned workspace. To keep things efficient and durable we used closed cell spray foam insulation in key areas of the building.
This was an older metal building with years of dirt, grass, and bird nests worked up into the seams between metal and wood. Before any foam could be applied we cleaned out the dirt and debris, re-fastened the metal with additional screws so panels wouldn’t pull away, then prepared the surfaces to ensure the foam would bond correctly. Because the foam would be exposed (not covered with drywall), appearance and a flat finish were also priorities.
Location: north of Gillette.
Building footprint: roughly 40′ × 80′.
Scope: spray foam applied to the underside of the roof (the lid) and the walls; headers were framed for new overhead garage doors and those headers were insulated after framing.
Schedule & volume: the crew expected a roughly three-day job and estimated about four to five “sets” of material total (they sprayed ~1.5 sets the first day, ~2 sets the second, and planned ~1.5 sets on the final day).
Product note: we sprayed JM Core Bond, the blue foam that the customer preferred.
Finish: because the foam remains exposed, extra care was taken to make the surface as flat and clean as possible.
Removing accumulated dirt, grass and bird nests from between the metal and wood before spraying.
Re-securing metal panels with additional screws to prevent pull-away and allow the foam to “glue” the panels into place.
Working around the customer’s plan to replace sliding doors with new overhead garage doors — requiring framed headers and coordinated insulation of those openings.
Keeping the exposed foam looking flat and tidy since it won’t be covered.
After a full clean-out, panel reinforcement, and header framing for new overhead doors, the building was insulated over a focused three-day schedule. What was once an old, debris-filled shop is now a conditioned, functional workspace — sealed, secure, and ready for year-round equipment work with closed cell spray foam insulation.
Every shop upgrade comes with its own set of challenges. Whether it’s restoring an older building or insulating a newly prepared workspace, the process comes down to preparation, precision, and getting every detail right.
If you have a project that requires dependable closed cell spray foam insulation and a team that understands how to execute it properly, let’s make it work together.
