Spray Foam Insulation in Tempe, Arizona
Tempe is denser and older than most of the Valley. Much of the housing stock dates from the post-war decades through the 1970s, lots are smaller, and a substantial proportion of the city is rental property serving the university. That combination produces a distinct set of insulation problems.
Desert Shield Spray Foam works across Tempe on owner-occupied homes, rental property and small commercial buildings.
Post-War and Mid-Century Housing
Homes from the 1950s and 1960s in Tempe were frequently built with painted concrete block walls and little or no wall insulation, on a slab, with a shallow attic. Block has thermal mass, which means it absorbs heat through the day and releases it into the house through the evening. Residents notice this as a house that stays uncomfortable long after sunset.
You cannot easily insulate an existing block wall from the inside without losing floor area, so the practical work in this stock concentrates on the attic and the roof, where the gains are largest and the access is realistic.
Rental Property and Small Multi-Family
Rental property has a different economics to an owner-occupied home. Turnover between tenancies is often the only practical window for work, the specification has to be durable rather than delicate, and where the tenant pays the utilities the owner needs the case for the work made in terms of habitability and equipment life rather than bill savings.
For duplexes and small multi-family buildings, sound transmission between units is a live issue. Open-cell foam in party walls and floor assemblies does real acoustic work alongside its thermal role.
Small Commercial Around the City
Tempe has a large stock of older single story commercial and light industrial buildings, many with low slope roofs and metal or block construction. These buildings tend to have been insulated minimally if at all, and they are usually straightforward to improve because the assemblies are simple and accessible.
Work is scheduled around trading hours where the space is occupied.
