Spray Foam Insulation in Lake Wales, FL

Spray Foam Insulation in Lake Wales serves a town near the geographic center of the Florida peninsula, on the sandy upland of the Lake Wales Ridge. G. V. Tillman scouted the area in 1902 for turpentine and citrus, and the town was incorporated in May 1917. Its commercial historic district holds architecture from the Florida land boom of the 1920s.

Storms on the ridge

In 2004, Hurricanes Charley, Frances and Jeanne brought hurricane-force winds to Lake Wales within 44 days, and Hurricane Irma added more in 2017. Many roofs here have been repaired or replaced at least once. Attics that took water before repairs should be checked for damp or matted insulation.

An older population

The 2020 census counted 16,361 residents, with 26.3% aged 65 or older, and 7,559 housing units, 12.3% of them vacant. For many homeowners here, the goals are lower cooling bills and steady comfort without disruptive work. Attic sealing and blown-in insulation usually deliver both in a single day.

Code and targets

Polk County is in climate zone 2A. Florida's 8th Edition energy code lists R-38 ceilings; the Department of Energy suggests R-49 to R-60 for an empty attic in zone 2.

Warm winters

Lake Wales borders on a tropical climate, and January is the only month with an average daily mean below 64.4F. Insulation work here is driven almost entirely by cooling.
