Why metal buildings need spray foam
Uninsulated metal buildings in our climate get extremely hot in summer, and on humid mornings warm moist air hits the cool metal and condenses. That condensation drips on equipment, inventory and vehicles and leads to rust and mildew.
Closed-cell spray foam for metal buildings
- Bonds directly to metal panels and seals seams and fasteners
- Acts as a vapor retarder, so moisture doesn't reach the cold metal
- Adds some rigidity to wall and roof panels
- Works on shops, garages, barns, boat sheds, warehouses and hangars
Pricing a metal building spray foam job
Metal building jobs are usually priced per square foot at a set foam thickness, often one to three inches of closed-cell foam. Ask for walls and roof quoted separately. Typical ranges are in our cost guide.
Buildings used by the public or for business may need a fire-protective coating over the foam. Your installer will tell you what applies.

Spray foam insulation questions
Will spray foam stop my metal building from sweating?
Closed-cell foam is one of the most effective ways to stop condensation on metal roofs and walls.
How thick should foam be on a metal building?
One to three inches of closed-cell foam is common, depending on the use of the building and your budget.
Can foam go on a building that already has fiberglass blanket insulation?
Usually the old insulation needs to come out first so the foam can bond to the metal.
