Spray Foam Insulation in Mulberry, FL

Spray Foam Insulation in Mulberry works in a small city that calls itself the Official Phosphate Capital of the World. Phosphate rock was discovered in the Peace River in 1886, and the town grew around the industry; the Bone Valley around it is the world's most productive phosphate rock mining area, and the Mosaic Company runs the Nichols mine about two miles east of town. Badcock Home Furniture opened its first store here in 1904.

Older homes

The 2020 census counted 3,952 residents and 1,936 housing units, with a median age of 46. Many Mulberry homes are older, with thin attic insulation and walls that were never filled. Sealing the attic and blowing it to at least R-38, Florida's code figure for ceilings, is usually the first step.

Metal buildings

In a mining and industrial area, steel shops and storage buildings are common on residential and commercial lots. Closed-cell foam on the roof and walls stops condensation and cuts the heat that builds up under the sun.

Code and climate

Polk County is in climate zone 2A. The Department of Energy suggests R-49 to R-60 for an empty attic in zone 2, or adding R-38 to R-49 over 3 to 4 inches already there.
