Insulation Options for Commercial and Industrial Projects

Not all buildings are built the same—and neither is insulation. Whether you’re outfitting a storefront or a large facility, our solutions for walls and attics are designed to meet real performance needs and support long-term savings.

Explore the options below to see what fits your project best.

🧱 Wall Insulation Options

Fiberglass Batt Insulation

R-11 to R-49 depending on thickness

→ A cost-effective option for offices, retail spaces, and light commercial buildings. Works well in standard wall framing where quick installation is key.

R-15 to R-56 | 1.8–2.3 lbs/cubic ft.

→ Great for irregular cavities and hard-to-reach areas. Provides dense, even coverage—ideal for both commercial remodels and industrial applications requiring better thermal control.

Open-cell: Up to R-3.6 per inch | 0.4–0.6 lbs/cubic ft.

Closed-cell: Up to R-7 per inch | 1.7–2.3 lbs/cubic ft.

→ Our industrial spray foam insulation is the go-to solution for warehouses, plants, and spaces needing advanced air sealing, moisture control, and high R-value performance.

🏠 Attic & Overhead Insulation Options

Blown-in Fiberglass Insulation

Up to R-2.7 per inch

→ Lightweight and budget-friendly. Often used in accessible attic spaces across office buildings, storefronts, and similar structures.

Up to R-3.3 per inch

→ A denser material that offers higher R-values per inch. Helps dampen noise and works well in busy or high-traffic industrial buildings.

→ Sealing leaks around penetrations and framing improves insulation performance across the board. This is especially valuable in older commercial buildings or industrial sites with inconsistent airflow.

Benefits of Insulating Commercial & Industrial Buildings

  • Energy Efficiency:

    Proper insulation helps commercial buildings lower energy bills by maintaining consistent indoor temperatures, reducing the load on HVAC systems.

  • Noise Reduction:

    Insulation improves soundproofing, which is essential for offices, conference rooms, and industrial spaces, creating a quieter and more productive work environment.

  • Improved Air Quality:

    Insulation helps seal gaps, reducing drafts and airborne pollutants, contributing to healthier indoor air quality.

  • Compliance with Energy Standards:

    Well-insulated buildings help meet local and national energy efficiency regulations, which can reduce operational costs and improve sustainability.
