moisture in the building from reaching the steel window frames and glass to form condensation. The frames had to be sealed but be capable of relatively easy removal for repair of the windows. So we invented inserts made of wood, black duct insulation, and flat black paint so from the outside the windows would look normal.

 On the inserts John used closed cell leak resistant foam to a depth of 2” and then covered that with another 8” of open cell foam to add R value. The walls were open cell foam except in a few areas where closed cell was used. It was a dirty task to spray all of that foam but they did a very thorough and superior job. Proof is in the pudding. The condensation stopped and heat loss drastically reduced. Take a look.

Above. With windows done, John does the walls. The foam looks like a sponge when its applied and to the uninitiated it seems to be ineffective or poorly done. But any good insulation has air pockets in it to enhance the performance of the product.

Above. Windows were sprayed first because of the dual layer treatment they would get - closed cell foam and open cell foam. The walls would come last. Big job.

Above. The Boss, John Lamey of Garryowen owns the company but he is unafraid of work. It shows all over him.

Above. After it’s applied walls will necessarily be trimmed to stay inside the studs so that the walls may be finished. Here John is doing it the old fashioned way - by hand.
