Condensation Control
with Polyurethane Insulation
Polyurethane
insulation prevents condensation forming on cold surfaces
Condensation occurs
when you have normal warm air coming into contact with cold surfaces like
tanks, pipes and concrete slabs and tin roofs.
When the surface
temperature of a substrate is cold enough (below dew-point temperature) the air
in contact with the surface can no longer hold its water vapour. The water
vapour condenses out of the air and settles on the surface in the form of water
droplets. In extreme cases, this can cause water droplets to drop and ‘rain’
down on anything below.
This problem is easily
stopped by using polyurethane sprayed foam insulation for condensation
control.
Applying polyurethane
insulation to the surface creates a seamless airtight barrier to stop moist
warm air coming into contact with a cold surface. This eliminates the ability
for condensation to form.
Polyurethane
insulation is most effective for condensation control
We believe
polyurethane is the best insulation material for condensation control because:
- It forms a
seamless airtight barrier on the substrate.
- It is
immune to damage from water and moisture.
- It is more
effective than any other commercially-available thermal insulation material
(measured by R-value) against heat and cold.
- It holds
its shape and won’t deteriorate over time as other insulation materials do.

you should choose polyurethane insulation for condensation control.
External installation
We can apply
polyurethane spray foam insulation to the outside surface of a roof
quickly and efficiently. Once applied, we coat it with a protective acrylic
membrane to shield it from UV rays.
Internal Installation
We can apply
polyurethane foam insulation internally to the roof and walls of sheds and
industrial buildings.
We apply it directly
to the underside of roofs and the inside surface of the walls provided there is
good access to these surfaces.
