Spray Foam for Homes, Garages, Pole Barns & More.
Grand Traverse Insulation provides spray foam insulation for residential construction, garages, pole barns, workshops, additions and other projects throughout Northern Michigan.
Spray foam combines insulation and air sealing in one application, making it a strong option for projects where controlling heat loss and unwanted air movement matters.
Where Spray Foam Makes Sense.
Spray foam can be used in a wide range of residential and building projects where insulation performance and air sealing are both important.
Pole Barns
Spray foam is commonly used in pole barns and post-frame buildings to insulate walls and roof assemblies while also helping control unwanted air movement.
Garages
Attached and detached garages can benefit from better insulation and air sealing, especially when the space is heated, cooled or used as a workshop.
Workshops
Spray foam can help create a more comfortable workspace and reduce drafts in buildings that are used throughout the year.
New Construction
New homes and buildings offer the opportunity to design insulation and air sealing into the structure from the beginning.
Additions & Renovations
Spray foam can be a good fit for additions, remodels and areas where space is limited or existing construction creates difficult insulation conditions.
Residential Projects
Attics, crawl spaces, rim joists and other areas of a home may benefit from spray foam when the application is appropriate.
Different buildings and assemblies call for different solutions. GTI can evaluate the project and help determine whether spray foam, another insulation product or a combination of approaches makes the most sense.
Insulation and Air Sealing in One Application.
Spray foam is different from many traditional insulation products because it expands into the area where it is applied, helping insulate while also reducing unwanted air movement.
That can make it especially useful in areas with gaps, irregular framing, limited space or assemblies where air sealing is an important part of the insulation strategy.
Closed-Cell Spray Foam
Grand Traverse Insulation commonly works with closed-cell spray foam, a dense insulation product that provides strong insulating performance in a relatively thin application while also helping create an effective air barrier.
Helps Control Air Leakage
Spray foam expands into gaps and cracks, helping reduce drafts and uncontrolled air movement through the building assembly.
Strong Performance in Limited Space
Closed-cell foam can provide substantial insulating value where framing depth or available space makes thicker insulation difficult.
Works in Irregular Areas
Because the material is applied as a foam, it can conform to many difficult shapes, corners and framing conditions.
Useful Across Many Project Types
Homes, garages, pole barns, workshops, additions and new construction can all be candidates depending on the design and goals of the project.
From Project Questions to Spray Foam Installation.
Every project is different. The goal is to understand what you're building, how the space will be used and what insulation approach makes the most sense before installation begins.
Tell Us About the Project
Let us know what you're insulating, where the project is located and whether it's new construction, an existing building or a renovation.
Review the Space
We look at the building conditions, framing and intended use of the space to determine the appropriate insulation approach.
Get a Recommendation
GTI can explain where spray foam makes sense, what areas should be insulated and whether another product or approach should also be considered.
Schedule Installation
Once the scope is established, we'll coordinate the spray foam installation around the project and building schedule.

Spray Foam Questions
Spray foam can be a great solution for the right project, but the best approach depends on the building, the application and what you are trying to accomplish.
Spray foam can be used in many residential and project applications, including garages, pole barns, workshops, additions, new construction and selected areas of homes. The appropriate application depends on the structure and the conditions being addressed.
Yes. One of the major advantages of spray foam is that it can provide thermal insulation while also helping reduce unwanted air movement through gaps and building cavities.
It can be an excellent option for many pole barns, garages and workshops because it can insulate and air seal irregular framing and large wall or roof areas in one application.
Grand Traverse Insulation commonly works with closed-cell spray foam for appropriate projects. The right foam and application depend on the building assembly and the goals of the project.
No. Spray foam is a strong option for many applications, but Grand Traverse Insulation also works with other insulation and air-sealing approaches. The best solution depends on the structure and what problem you are trying to solve.
The amount and application depend on the size of the project, framing, surfaces being insulated and the performance goals. Grand Traverse Insulation can review the project and recommend an appropriate approach.
