Commercial New Construction Insulation
Going beyond code-minimum insulation pays off for the life of the building. Seal Tech plans and installs high-performance Icynene® spray foam for wood- and steel-framed commercial projects across Southeast Michigan.
Insulation That Works With the Rest of Your Building
Code sets the minimum. We look at how insulation interacts with your HVAC, lighting, windows, layout, and Michigan's climate, so every system works less and lasts longer.
We work directly with contractors, architects, and developers to recommend the right materials and R-values for your project, then install them on your schedule.
- Material and R-value recommendations matched to your design
- Icynene® spray foam for wood- and steel-framed structures
- Air sealing and insulation in a single application
Commercial New Construction: Build It Right the First Time

When Insulation Goes In
Spray foam is installed after the rough-ins pass inspection and before drywall. Bring us in early and we'll plan around your timeline.
Design
We review plans and recommend R-values.
Framing
Wood or steel structure goes up.
Rough-Ins
Plumbing, electrical, and HVAC pass inspection.
Seal Tech Insulates
We spray, seal, and clean up.
Drywall & Finish
The next trades move in on schedule.

Open Cell & Closed Cell on Commercial Builds
Most commercial projects use both. We'll specify the right foam for each part of the building.
Closed Cell Foam
| R-value | About R-6 to 7 per inch |
|---|---|
| Moisture | Acts as a vapor barrier |
| Strength | Adds rigidity to walls and panels |
| Best for | Exterior walls, steel framing, masonry, below grade |
Open Cell Foam
| R-value | About R-3.5 to 3.8 per inch |
|---|---|
| Sound | Excellent at absorbing airborne noise |
| Cost | Lower per square foot |
| Best for | Interior walls, ceilings, rooflines, offices |

Commercial New Construction FAQs
When is insulation installed on a commercial new build?
Spray foam is installed after framing and the plumbing, electrical, and HVAC rough-ins have passed inspection, and before drywall goes up. We coordinate with your GC so it fits the schedule.
Why go beyond code-minimum insulation?
Code sets the minimum, not the best value. Going beyond it lowers utility and maintenance costs, improves comfort and air quality, reduces noise, and protects the building for its whole life.
Do you work with steel-framed buildings?
Yes. Our Icynene® spray foam works on both wood- and steel-framed structures, including complex shapes and spaces.
Can you recommend R-values for our project?
Yes. We work with contractors, architects, and developers to recommend the right materials and R-values based on the building's design, use, and Michigan's climate.
