High Rise Condo Insulation
This application was sprayed on precast stand up panels in downtown
Calgary. The R-value & vapour barrier were easily achieved by spraying
3 inches of polyurethane foam. The finish inside was drywall. The owners
of this condo complex are very happy with the comfort level in winter &
summer when cooling / air conditioning is operating.

Cavity Wall Insulation
This application was sprayed on cinder block during construction.
The finished wall was brick attached to the ties as shown on architectural
details shown in other section of our website. The cost of heating / cooling
this school was reduced by approx. 40% and the system was installed cheaper
than full membrane and rigid fibreglas insulation.

Commercial Buildings (warehouse)
This is a precast structure where polyurethane foam spray
was used as an insulation as well as vapor barrier forming a monolithic
(seamless) blanket of insulation on the interior wall. The finish product
was covered by ½ inch gypsum board to conform to local fire codes.
Prior to application the frost build up was severe, but sprayfoam insulated
and preformed very well eliminating all condensation and frost.

Residential projects
This house was sprayed with 3.5" polyurethane foam making the
R-value (R=24) very good for a 2X4 wall. This system is CCMC. approved
and custom homes are becoming a large part of the foam industry today.
The cost is more than fibreglass insulation but the return on heating costs
is made up very quickly. Vaulted ceilings are a prime candidate for spray
foam insulation.

K13 Soundproofing
This product is designed for office or recreation areas where
sound transfer and echo are to be reduced. The photo shows a typical office
application, note the color (Tan/ White), transfer of sound is greatly
reduced in this office when on the phone or intercom. Other applications
include swimming pools for echo & parking garages for insulation.

Fireproofing
The building code requires a fire rating on structural steel
floors / walls & roof assemblies. The photo shows a typical application
of Hi-bar mineral fibre on steel joists and metal Q-decking. This project
was a warehouse with offices above the sprayed area.

Icynene
This product is a low density expanding foam. The product has
a R-Value of 3.7 per inch. The air sealing properties make it affordable
and a big winner for new housing. This product is effective in preventing the growth
of mould and mildew, since it forms a barrier on the interior of the walls.

Cargo Van Insulation
This cargo van was heated in winter and applicated with 2" polyurethane
foam insulation. The same application can be done for refrigerated trailers
making foam the perfect choice for the transportation industry. A plywood
sheathing can be installed over the insulation attached to the metal stud
framing members.

CCMC APPROVALS
We are pleased to announce there are several products on the market that have been approved by the federal government. This company offers all of the products and is authorized to apply all approved products. These products are tested air barriers and have been tested by the manufacturers for density, off gassing, R-value etc. A CCMC report is available from CUFCA at www.cufca.ca. An application standard and master specification is also available through CUFCA or this office at office@sheafoams.ca.
