A building envelope component typically composed of polyurethane or other similar materials, applied via pressurized spraying equipment to the underside of a garage roof structure. This application creates a continuous insulation and air barrier system. It’s a method used to regulate temperature and minimize air leakage within the garage space.
Effective thermal management of a garage’s upper surface offers substantial advantages. These include reduced energy consumption for climate control within the attached living spaces, prevention of moisture condensation that can lead to mold growth or structural damage, and a more comfortable environment, especially when the garage is used as a workshop or storage area for temperature-sensitive items. Historically, alternative methods such as fiberglass batts or rigid foam boards were used, but the seamless application and superior insulating properties of the sprayed material have made it an increasingly popular choice.
