Customized Commercial Insulation For Denver, CO Businesses
Advanced Insulation Solutions has over 10 years of expertise helping Denver and Northern Colorado commercial properties customize fiberglass insulation installation and maintenance. With focused attention on your building’s unique needs, we identify energy deficiencies and craft tailored solutions exceeding insulation codes and requirements.
Fiberglass Insulation Materials and Benefits
Fiberglass remains the most popular insulation choice for commercial buildings due to key advantages:
- Affordability – Very economical option compared to spray foam or rigid boards on a per square foot basis.
- Sound Dampening – Reduces ambient noise transmission extremely well due to fiber density trapping soundwaves.
- Fire Resistance – Fiberglass has melting point over 1,000°F giving it excellent fire resistance and low flame spread ratings.
- Conformability – Flexible materials able to fit in tight spaces rigid insulation cannot.
- Sustainability – Made from recycled glass and sand, fiberglass insulation is environmentally-friendly.
We have experience across all types and forms of fiberglass insulation ideal for commercial settings:
Loose Fill Insulation
- Blown-in cellulose or fiberglass suitable for attic floors or walls with truss access
- Low density supports great coverage over irregular dimensions and angles
- We use dense pack method for maximum R-value efficiency per inch
Fiberglass Batt Insulation
- Flexible precut batts slot neatly between studs, joists and rafters
- High density batts for maximum sound dampening and fire resilience
- Cost-effective solution for new builds or existing wall retrofits
Rigid Fiberglass Insulation Board
- Higher R-value rigid fiberglass boards add continuous insulation
- Moisture and mold resistant exterior wall sheathing
- Perfect for basement foundations and concrete sandwich panel insulation
Duct Insulation
- Flexible wraps or duct liner batts insulate HVAC system ductwork
- Dramatically reduces costly heat loss/gain and air leakage
- Improves indoor comfort, air quality and equipment performance
Pipe Insulation
- Precise-fit pipe wraps conserve plumbing heat loss and prevent sweating
- High-temperature capable for steam lines, boilers and industrial uses
Comprehensive Energy Assessments
We begin every commercial project with an in-depth site evaluation identifying improvement areas like:
- Missing insulation zones in unconditioned spaces
- Attics and roof assemblies with inadequate insulation levels
- Wall cavities and voids lacking fire sealed insulation
- Poor performing lighting fixtures wasting energy
- Leaky HVAC ducts requiring improved air sealing
- Gaps around penetrations allowing exterior air infiltration
This allows us to calculate the target R-value your property needs to drive maximum utility savings. We examine all insulation materials and installations methods that can cost-effectively help achieve your custom R-value.
Key data we analyze:
- Historical energy bills to identify seasonal usage spikes
- Square footage and architectural plans detailing the thermal envelope
- Local heating and cooling degree days to size HVAC equipment
- Thermal imaging identifying deficiencies and envelope leaks
- Blower door tests quantifying air changes per hour (ACH)
Armed with a complete picture of your facility’s thermal performance shortcomings, we advise the most appropriate insulation solutions targeting quick ROI through energy savings.
Commercial Fiberglass Insulation Installation Process
With over 500 combined years installing insulation, our commercial division teams are true experts in safely and cleanly getting the job done right.
Our typical commercial fiberglass insulation process includes:
- Protecting Your Property – We take precautions to guard interiors, inventory, furniture and valuables from dust ingress or damage.
- Negative Air Machines – These commercial-grade filtration systems maintain air quality and visibility for uninterrupted business operations.
- Moisture Assessment – We use thermal imaging cameras and moisture meters to test for any excess moisture issues prior to installing fiberglass which requires properly dry surfaces.
- Air Sealing Gaps – Our crews thoroughly seal all cracks, penetrations and leakage points with appropriate caulk, spray foam or weather stripping allowing insulation to work most effectively.
- Insulation Installation – We use contracted spray rigs for dense-packed loose fill application into ceilings and walls. Batts neatly inserted between studs, joists and cavities per manufacturer specification.
- Infrared Scans – We give the insulation application a final scan using thermal imaging to ensure no cold spots or gaps compromise energy efficiency.
- Protective Barriers – We properly install solutions like knee walls, draft stops and quality vapor barriers that protect insulation integrity long-term.
For exterior rigid insulation board additions, we coordinate with your commercial roofer, siding or masonry contractor to ensure correct installation and seamless integration.
Commercial Insulation Building Code Consulting
Keeping your Denver commercial property compliant with changing city, state and international insulation codes can be complex. We stay current on the latest Mandatory Commercial Energy Conservation Ordinances for buildings over 25,000 sq ft. Our expertise spans critical areas like:
- Prescriptive Continuous Insulation R-Value Requirements – Recommending rigid board additions meeting code minimums for continuous insulation.
- Air Barrier and Air Sealing Mandates – Guiding proper vapor permeable barrier selection and detailing critical seals around openings and penetrations.
- Mechanical System Insulation Standards – Advising insulation thickness and materials for HVAC, plumbing and equipment systems.
- Required Insulation R-Values For Alterations and Additions – Navigating specific insulation needs when expanding or modifying buildings.
Lean on us for trusted guidance navigating insulation compliance specific to your building type and climate zone. We help file necessary forms, transcripts and certifications with the City of Denver Building Department. With insulation codes frequently changing, let us handle this critical but complex facet of ownership.
Specialized Commercial Insulation Solutions
Beyond conventional fiberglass insulation, we also fabricate and install specialty thermal and acoustic insulation solutions:
Cryogenic Equipment Insulation
Our experience insulating cryogenic systems includes:
- LNG storage tanks
- Industrial food freezers
- Chemical processing plants
- MRI machine rooms
- Research laboratories
Cryogenic insulation best practices involve:
- Precise Custom-Fit Metal Jacketing – Aluminum and stainless steel jackets cut to fit equipment exactly preventing moisture ingress.
- Closed Cell Foams – prevent liquefied gas absorption into insulation limiting efficiency.
- Vapor Barrier Sealants – Critical for maintaining interior vacuum necessary for extreme temps.
- Validation Testing – We perform thermal conductivity/heat flux testing simulating cryogenic service strains.
Meeting specialized demands of ultra-low temp equipment insulation is our expertise. Lean on us for material selection, fabrication and validation testing services.
Soundproofing Insulation
We help theaters, music halls, recording studios and other noise-sensitive spaces execute custom sound dampening:
- Dense Packed Cellulose – Excellent for auditorium acoustic resonance problems by sound absorption and diffusion.
- Double Drywall Assemblies – Extra mass and damping compounds effective for blocking exterior sound transmission.
- Isolation Hanger Systems – Prevent structure-borne sound transfer from equipment, ductwork or exterior sources.
- Acoustic Door Seals/Gaskets – Block flanking path noise intruding under or around hall doorways.
We functionally test sites using sound level and reverberation time measurements to validate our soundproofing achieves target background noise and STC isolation levels.
