Spray Foam Insulation in Winter Haven, FL

Spray Foam Insulation in Winter Haven works in a city where nearly a third of the land area is water. Winter Haven covers 25.4 square miles, of which 7.7 are lakes, and it sits at about 146 feet above sea level in the Central Florida Highlands. It was incorporated in 1911, the canals linking its Chain of Lakes were begun in 1915, and the first Publix supermarket opened here in 1930.

Historic homes

During the 1920s, many single-family homes were built in Winter Haven in the colonial revival style, and more than 50 are now on the National Register of Historic Places, most of them in the Interlaken neighborhood. The city has four historic districts. Older homes like these usually have shallow attics with little insulation and frame walls that were never filled. Attic sealing and blown-in, plus dense-pack in frame walls, respect the house while improving comfort.

Newer homes

Newer subdivisions around the lakes typically have ducts in the attic. Sealing those ducts and adding attic insulation, or spraying foam on the roof deck, is the bigger win there.

Code and comfort

Polk County is in climate zone 2A. Florida's 8th Edition energy code lists R-38 for ceilings and R-13 for frame walls in new homes. The Department of Energy suggests R-49 to R-60 for an empty attic in zone 2.

Lakefront humidity

Homes right on the water can deal with more humidity. Closed-cell foam is our choice anywhere wetting is possible.
