SPRAY FOAM INSULATION
Spray foam insulation is one of the most effective ways to improve energy efficiency, control moisture, and enhance the durability of buildings. At Kohls Foam Systems, Inc., we provide professional spray polyurethane foam (SPF) insulation services for commercial, industrial, and specialty structures across Minnesota, Hawaii, Colorado, Florida, and Illinois.
With over 35 years of experience, we deliver insulation systems that do more than regulate temperature. Our foam applications strengthen building envelopes, improve air quality, and help reduce long-term heating and cooling costs.
Energy Efficient and Durable
SPF insulation is both an air barrier and a thermal barrier. This dual performance means it not only prevents heat loss but also controls airflow and moisture infiltration. Properly installed spray foam helps eliminate drafts, reduce dust and allergens, and stabilize interior temperatures throughout all seasons.

Studies show that commercial buildings insulated with spray foam can save up to 40 percent on energy costs compared to traditional materials. These savings come from reduced air leakage, consistent R-values, and the ability to downsize HVAC systems due to improved thermal performance.
Versatile for All Building Types
Spray foam insulation is highly adaptable and can be applied in a wide range of conditions and structural layouts. It is ideal for:
Cathedral ceilings
Irregular masonry
Band joists
Steel or wood stud walls
Attics and crawl spaces
Commercial wall cavities
Moisture Control and Structural Support
One of the key benefits of closed-cell spray foam insulation is its ability to resist moisture. Unlike fiberglass or cellulose, foam does not absorb water. It prevents mold growth, protects structural materials, and maintains performance even in humid or wet environments.

Additionally, spray foam adds measurable structural strength. Independent testing has shown that applying foam between wall studs can increase racking strength by up to 50 percent. This makes it especially beneficial for buildings in hurricane-prone or seismic zones.
Backed by Real-World Testing
In 1997, the Oak Ridge National Laboratory tested spray foam insulation in metal stud wall systems. The results showed a significant reduction in thermal bridging and improved overall wall performance. In earlier studies, SPF was shown to outperform fiberglass in energy savings during manufacturing, reducing energy needs equivalent to tens of thousands of barrels of oil annually.

Spray foam has been in use for more than three decades and continues to be one of the most tested and proven insulation systems available.
Environmental Advantages
Using SPF insulation supports environmental sustainability by reducing energy consumption and greenhouse gas emissions. Kohls Foam Systems uses reflective roof and wall systems that meet EPA solar reflectance standards and carry the ENERGY STAR label.

Lower energy use means fewer fossil fuels burned and reduced environmental impact. Additionally, SPF products require less energy to produce than many alternative materials, contributing to an overall lower carbon footprint.
Real Project Results
We have applied spray foam insulation in a wide range of projects across the Midwest and Hawaii. From food processing facilities to church camps, our systems help improve comfort and efficiency.
Project Example: Bongards Creameries, Bongards, MN
We insulated key facilities to improve thermal control and reduce operational costs.
Project Example: Spirit in the Pines Church Camp, Hackensack, MN
Our insulation work helped transform an uninsulated camp chapel into the most temperature-stable building on site.
Client Testimonial
"As soon as Pat and his crew insulated the camp chapel, the building became the warmest building on the property. As this summer has begun, we have experienced some very uncharacteristic hot weather in the 80s. The new camp chapel has now also become the coolest building on our property."
— Burke Hancer, Director of Camping Ministries, St. Andrew Lutheran Church
