How we do it.

Closed cell for barns that get wet.It's a moisture and vapor barrier, and it can go directly on metal.
A coating is strongly recommended.We recommend a coating over closed cell in livestock barns.
Animals out for 12 to 24 hours.People, pets and livestock can go back in after 12 to 24 hours.
Conditions checked first.Surfaces have to be below 8% moisture, and we check temperature before we spray.

Foam and thickness.

Foam	Where it goes	Typical thickness	R-value per inch
Closed cell	Directly on metal or wood. A coating over it is strongly recommended.	Quoted per job	R-7.6 to 8.1

R-value measures how well insulation holds back heat. Higher is better. Closed cell is rigid and also blocks moisture; open cell is softer and dampens sound. Ranges are from Universal Polymers (UPC) data sheets, tested at 1 inch. We choose the foam for each job. See the data sheets

Before we arrive.

The space has to be completely empty.Everything comes out before we arrive, unless something truly can't be moved and we've talked it through.
Room for our trailer.We need driveway access for a trailer about 10 feet tall.
We bring the lifts and scaffolding.You don't need to rent or supply anything to reach high areas.

Questions.

How long before people or animals can go back in?

People, pets and livestock can go back in after 12 to 24 hours.

Does foam on metal need a coating?

Closed cell can go directly on metal, and we strongly recommend a coating over it. Several coatings can go over foam, and we can supply one if you need it.

Can you spray in winter?

Spray foam is temperature sensitive. We don't spray below 20°F except in certain situations, and we check the conditions before every job.
