What Bloomington buildings are like.
Bloomington is the largest town we cover in Monroe County, with its housing split between two eras — the middle of the stock dates to 1985. What we recommend depends on which half of the town a building sits in.

Foam and thickness.
| Foam | Where it goes | Typical thickness | R-value at that thickness |
|---|---|---|---|
| Open cell | On OSB or a proper liner. Never on bare metal. | 4 in + | R-15 |
| Closed cell | Directly on metal or wood. A coating over it is strongly recommended. | 2 in + | R-15 |
R-value measures how well insulation holds back heat. The higher the R-value, the greater the insulating power. Ask your seller for the fact sheet on R-values. R-values are for UPC 500 open cell and UPC 2.0 HFO closed cell, from the manufacturer's code compliance reports, at the thickness shown. Closed cell is rigid and also blocks moisture; open cell is softer and dampens sound. We choose the foam for each job. See the data sheets
Questions.
Do you do pole barns in Bloomington?
Yes. Bloomington is 77.9 miles from our base in Anderson, and pole barns is one of the twenty things we spray. That is a longer run, so it suits larger projects — pole barns, commercial buildings and new construction. We travel up to three hours for those. Call and tell us about the job. Tell us about the building and we'll quote it.
Which foam goes in a Bloomington barn?
Monroe County is in climate zone 4, the milder of the two zones Indiana spans. We spray both open cell (R-13 at 3½ inches) and closed cell (R-15 at 2 inches), and which one a barn needs depends on moisture and what the foam is going on. We tell you when we quote. The higher the R-value, the greater the insulating power. Ask your seller for the fact sheet on R-values.
