Injection Foam Insulation For Block Walls
One of the primary uses for injection foam is to insulate masonry block. With our commercial insulation services in Kentucky, we can provide a significant increase in R-value with our product versus no insulation or loose-fill insulation. Used for years in big box stores as masonry insulation, our injection foam insulation can fill any enclosed cavity.
Additionally, another important application for our foam insulation are fireproofing stairwells and elevator shafts, as well as providing ideal acoustic insulation where indicated. THERMCO® foam has a 4-hour, class I fire rating and has undergone rigorous acoustic testing. We can insulate both new builds and existing commercial buildings.
We provide commercial insulation services in Kentucky
Our service area includes the state of Kentucky and surrounding areas. We are centrally located in Harrodsburg and travel to Louisville, Lexington, and more!
01
Insulation for CMU Construction
THERMCO® foamed-in-place insulation provides an R value of 4.7/inch at 35 degrees F in concrete masonry unit walls. Injection foam insulation can be completed as soon as the block is laid. Our timing is flexible and our footprint minimal – keeping you on schedule, and allowing other trades to continue work.
02
Fireproofing for Stairwells and Elevator Shafts
Our injection foam insulation has a 4 hour, class I fire-rating. It can be used as fireproofing insulation in walls, elevator shafts, stairwells, and more.
03
Acoustic Insulation
Where soundproofing matters, our foam insulation performs. THERMCO® foamed-in-place insulation has undergone extensive acoustic testing and can be used in both block walls or framed wall cavities for soundproofing in commercial buildings, schools, government buildings, and more.
Injection Foam Insulation vs. Pour-in Vermiculite
Foamed-in-place is preferred by contractors, masons, and engineers alike for CMU walls when compared to loose fill insulation.
- Foam insulation never settles in the masonry cavity over time
- Foam requires no extra work to install for masons, no PPE required for breathing in dust
- R-values for foamed-in-place insulation are 4.7 per inch versus 3-4 per inch with loose fill insulation
- Foam insulation is ideal for both hot and cold climates
- Foamed-in-place insulation allows you to retrofit buildings later without the insulation leaving the masonry cavity
- Our foam insulation has a Class I, 4-hour fire rating
- Foam insulation does not slow down construction like loose fill insulation. Masons can build the wall without needing to add insulation as they go.
- Injection foam insulation is less costly to install that loose fill insulation

Injection Foam Insulation vs. Spray Foam Insulation
Foamed-in-place insulation has definite advantages over spray foam insulation for commercial applications.
- The R-value of spray foam insulation is 3.5-3.6 per inch versus 4.7 per inch with our injection foam insulation
- Commercial spray foam insulation can slow down contuction by requiring specific PPE during applications and longer curing times of 1-3 days
- For aesthetic purposes, spray foam often needs to be covered up. With injection foam, the holes are filled with mortar and the walls can be painted or left as-is.
- Injection foam masonry insulation is ideal for both hot and cold climates
- Spray foam insulation should not be applied below ground level because it may get wet
- There are known health risks associated with exposure to spray foam insulation. Injection foam has no toxic off-gassing and is safe to install without specific PPE. Other trades can be present working, and the wall can be filled with foam as soon as the masonry is set.
