AFI Insulation technician applying spray foam insulation in a barndominium in Pleasant Hill, IA – expert Barndominium Spray Foam Installer

Struggling with high energy bills, cold drafts, or moisture issues in your Pleasant Hill barndominium?

In Iowa’s harsh winters and humid summers, poor insulation can make your barndominium uncomfortable and costly to maintain.

Gaps in traditional insulation allow heated air to escape in the winter and trap unwanted humidity during the summer.

At AFI Insulation, our expert installers provide closed-cell and open-cell spray foam insulation for barndominiums in Pleasant Hill and across Polk County.

Spray foam creates a seamless thermal barrier that seals every gap, improving your building’s R-value and eliminating energy loss.

With spray foam insulation, you’ll enjoy:

  • Lower monthly energy bills by reducing heating and cooling loss by up to 20%.

  • Consistent indoor comfort—no more drafts, hot spots, or cold rooms.

  • Moisture control that prevents condensation, mold growth, and structural damage.

  • Noise reduction, keeping your living and working spaces quieter.

  • Stronger walls and roofs, thanks to spray foam’s rigid, durable structure.

We proudly insulate barndominiums in Pleasant Hill, Altoona, Des Moines, and surrounding Iowa communities, tailoring every project to local climate and code requirements.

Why Spray Foam Insulation is Ideal for Iowa Barndominiums

Barndominiums are built with steel frames and metal panels—great for durability, but tricky when it comes to insulation.

Metal buildings conduct heat and cold quickly, which leads to temperature swings, condensation buildup, and high energy loss if left untreated.

That’s where spray foam insulation makes the difference for Pleasant Hill and Polk County homeowners.

Unlike fiberglass batts or blown-in insulation, spray foam creates a continuous air and moisture barrier that adapts perfectly to a barndominium’s structure.

  • Seal in Comfort & Savings

    Spray foam expands into every crack and joint, eliminating air leaks and improving your R-value. This means your HVAC system runs more efficiently, often cutting heating and cooling costs by up to 20%.

  • Control Moisture & Condensation

    In Iowa’s humid summers, metal barndominiums can trap moisture, leading to mold, mildew, and rust. Closed-cell spray foam prevents thermal bridging and blocks water vapor before it causes damage.

  • Reinforce Strength & Durability

    Beyond insulation, spray foam adds rigidity to walls and roofing. That extra support helps your barndominium stand up to Iowa winds, heavy rains, and seasonal storms.

  • Reduce Noise, Increase Comfort

    From wind rattling the siding to rain on a metal roof, barndominiums can be noisy. Spray foam’s dense structure absorbs sound, giving you a quieter, more peaceful living space.

💡 Did you know? Many Pleasant Hill homeowners choose spray foam during new construction, but it can also be retrofitted into existing barndominiums for immediate energy and comfort improvements.

Barndominiums are not only affordable and sturdy but also highly customizable. Whether you need a workshop, extra storage, or a spacious and stylish home, a Barndominium can be tailored to meet your specific needs.
