FIREPROOFING & INSULATION SINCE 1965
With its dedicated staff of Professional Engineers, Project Managers & Estimators, Spray Insulations Inc. is nationally regarded as a leader in the application of spray-applied fireproofing, insulation, and acoustical treatments. Our experienced team value engineers every project and works with you to develop an application strategy that meets your budget, quality, and schedule requirements.
Spray Insulations, Inc. offers a versatile selection of commercial & industrial fireproofing products, services and techniques to protect your building.
Overview
Fireproofing
Cementitious Fireproofing
Cementitious or wet mix fireproofing is mixed with water and pumped under pressure through hoses to a nozzle where air is introduced. The wet slurry is then broadcast onto structural steel surfaces. The inherent fire resistive mechanism of products is the release of water, in the form of steam, when exposed to elevated temperatures. Products are available in standard, medium and high density for use anywhere from indoors to exposed building exteriors. We provide customers with cementitious fireproofing from vendors such as GCP Applied Technologies (formerly W.R. Grace & Co.), Isolatek International and Carboline Co.
Mineral Fiber Fireproofing
Mineral Fiber or dry mix fireproofing consists of mineral wool fibers and a binder of either plaster or Portland cement. Products are conveyed pneumatically in dry form through hoses to a nozzle at which point water is introduced, activating the binder as it is projected onto structural steel surfaces. This product insulates the steel from temperature rise by limiting heat flow, achieving fire resistance. Products are available in standard and medium density for use in exposed and unexposed interior applications. Isolatek International is just one of the approved vendors of mineral fiber fireproofing with whom we have partnered.
Intumescent Fireproofing
Intumescent fireproofing differs from cementitious and mineral fiber fireproofing in that its paint like appearance allows it to be left permanently exposed creating a dramatic architectural affect. Applied like paints and coatings with airless spray equipment, Intumescent fireproofing actually burns when exposed to fire, forming a layer of char that ultimately insulates the structural steel from further temperature rise. Vendors of Intumescent fireproofing who we have partnered with include Isolatek International, Hilti and Carboline Co.
Acoustical
Acoustical Insulation & Treatment
“Spray applied acoustical insulation and treatments (K-13 SonaSpray “fc”, Ure-K) are intended for exposed applications where noise reduction, insulation, condensation control and aesthetics are required (classrooms, restaurants, etc). We have partnered with International Cellulose Corp, Thermacoustic Industries International, and Isolatek International to provide superior acoustical insulation and treatment.
Spray Foam Insulation
Polyurethane Foam Insulation
Sprayed Polyurethane Foam Insulation in low density (open-cell) and high density (closed-cell) versions, are highly efficient spray-applied foam insulation and an effective air barrier, with some foams providing vapor barrier qualities as well. Foam insulation products adhere well to any surface and can be easily applied to complexly designed building sections or completely fill voids and spaces. Icynene, BASF and Dow are some of the foam insulation vendors with whom we have partnered to provide quality products.
