On a gorgeous sunny day, Foam Engineers insulated a house in the community of Rosebud, Missouri. The homeowner has been remodeling a vacant school house into his home and garage. The larger front portion of the school building will house the home. The gymnasium will remain the same, much to the delight of his son. The portion of the building in the back used to be the school shop. This space will be used to house the homeowner’s unique collection of antique tractors and farm equipment. He contracted Foam Engineers to create a custom insulation solution for his new home.

Fiberglass batts were used to block the gap between the block wall and the roof. Foam Engineers then applied closed cell spray foam to the underside of the metal roof structure. This application created an air seal and insulated from the wall to the roof.
