Installer applying spray foam insulation inside a barndominium wall for improved thermal efficiency.

Commercial & Industrial Spray Foam in Houston, TX

Metal buildings, tilt-wall shells, conditioned offices inside hot warehouses—Houston facilities battle extreme sun, humidity, and long cooling seasons. Phantom Foam designs and installs commercial and industrial spray polyurethane foam (SPF) systems that control heat gain, air infiltration, and condensation at the source. We help stabilize indoor conditions for people and processes, reduce energy waste, and protect inventory and equipment.

Stop Heat, Humidity & Condensation Where They Start

Steel is fast to erect—yet it also conducts heat and can sweat when humid Gulf air meets cooler interior surfaces. Conventional insulation can slow conduction but rarely air seals a building full of purlins, laps, penetrations, and irregular cavities. Spray foam bonds to metal, wood, or masonry, creating a continuous thermal and air boundary that reduces roof deck heat, limits moist air infiltration, and helps prevent condensation over product, packaging, and floors.

The result is building science you can feel: steadier temperatures, fewer hot/cold zones, improved humidity control, quieter interiors, and mechanical systems that aren’t working overtime against infiltration and radiant roof loads.

Open-Cell, Closed-Cell, or Hybrid—Specified to the Operation

Open-cell foam is lighter and expansive—excellent coverage and acoustics for large volumes and office build-outs. Closed-cell foam delivers higher R-per-inch and a rigid, moisture-resistant layer for metal panels, rim joists, coolers/freezers, and exterior walls. Many facilities benefit from a hybrid strategy that balances cost, performance, and drying paths—paired with coatings and barriers tailored to code and use.

  • Metal buildings: calm roof heat, reduce panel sweating, and dampen rain noise.
  • Food & cold storage: control vapor drive, thermal bridging, and door/floor transitions.
  • SPF roof restoration: add insulation value and a reflective, protective coating.

Where We Add the Most Value

Metal Roofs & Panels

Interior foam reduces peak roof temps and surface condensation; rain gets quieter and summer heat stops radiating into work areas.

Tilt-Wall / CMU

Create a continuous air/thermal layer behind interior finishes, improving comfort at the perimeter and in office build-outs.

Coolers & Freezers

Closed-cell foam manages vapor pressure and thermal flow; we detail jambs, penetrations, and slab edges to reduce ice/frost.

SPF Roof Systems

Rebuild insulation value and protect with elastomeric coatings; correct minor ponding and extend roof life.

Mechanical / Process Areas

Stabilize setpoints in mezzanines, plenum walls, and enclosures; reduce energy waste from uncontrolled infiltration.

Sound & Partition Control

Open-cell foam dampens equipment whine and cross-bay echo for safer, clearer communication.

Heat Load Visualizer

Choose a scenario to see relative heat drive through the shell toward your target setpoint. Foam reduces that load by sealing air leaks and adding insulation.

Uninsulated / Poorly Sealed Shell
Outside→ Heat Flow →Inside
High peak loads force long runtimes; humidity control suffers and condensation risk rises at cold surfaces.
Foam-Sealed & Insulated Shell
Outside→ Reduced Heat Flow →Inside
Air sealing + insulation reduces load, stabilizes temps, and helps keep RH in range for people and processes.

Delivery That Respects Operations

We coordinate scopes around shifts, dock schedules, and shutdown windows. Expect clear communications, daily contacts, and phasing by bay when needed. Our crews isolate work areas, maintain clean pathways, and adapt to night/weekend timetables to minimize disruption.

Fire Barriers, Coatings & Documentation

We specify required thermal/ignition barriers or intumescent coatings per occupancy and location. Roof restorations include primer and elastomeric coating systems with documented mils, reflectivity, and care guidelines. Close-out packages include thickness checks, product data, and maintenance notes.

Estimating Factors

  • Scope & access: eave height, lift needs, congestion, masking, and safety controls.
  • Foam type & thickness: open vs closed-cell, R-targets, and assembly performance goals.
  • Moisture strategy: condensation risk, drying paths, vapor control, and adjacent processes.
  • Roof condition: repairs, ponding areas, details, coating selection, and weather windows.
  • Phasing/downtime: night/weekend premiums and partitioning to keep production running.

Commercial & Industrial Spray Foam — FAQ

Can you work without shutting our operation down?

Often, yes. We phase by bay, isolate areas, and offer night/weekend crews. For food or pharma, we align with QA to meet sanitation and air-quality requirements.

Which foam is best for metal buildings?

Closed-cell is usually preferred for higher R/inch and rigidity with improved moisture resistance. We confirm thickness and barrier requirements by assembly and code.

Will foam stop roof condensation (“sweating”)?

Foam reduces interior surface temperature swings and uncontrolled humid air contact, mitigating sweating. We also treat laps, penetrations, and bridges that cause drips.

Do you restore existing roofs with SPF + coatings?

Yes. SPF adds insulation and can correct minor slope issues; elastomeric coatings provide UV/weathering protection. Substrate condition is evaluated first.

What about fire ratings and code approvals?

We specify assemblies with required ignition/thermal barriers or intumescent coatings based on location and occupancy. Submittals and product data are provided.

Is there an odor or re-entry period?

During application and cure, areas are ventilated and restricted; re-entry follows manufacturer guidance. Once cured, SPF is inert.

How long does a typical project take?

Single bays or office build-outs: 1–3 days. Roof restorations vary by prep and weather. We provide a schedule with milestones and daily contacts.

Do you provide close-out documentation?

Yes—scope verification, thickness checks, product data sheets, coating specs, and maintenance notes. Photos and as-built notes available on request.

Can foam improve acoustics?

Open-cell helps damp equipment noise and reverberation, improving comfort and communication in work areas.

What impacts cost the most?

Access/eave height, required barriers or coatings, target thickness, existing conditions (rust/repairs), masking/lift time, and night/weekend phasing.

Do you work with GCs and facility teams?

Yes—we coordinate schedules, safety plans, and sequencing with your GC or facilities lead to keep logistics tight and downtime minimal.

Can you provide references and product data?

Absolutely. We supply product data sheets, SDS, sample warranties, and references on request.
