Spray Foam Insulation in Collbran, CO

Spray Foam Insulation in Collbran deals with real winter. Collbran sits at 5,988 feet along Plateau Creek at the eastern end of the Plateau Valley, with a warm-summer continental climate. January averages a high of 35F and a low of 10F, and annual precipitation is about 15 inches, more than on the Grand Valley floor.

Ranch homes and cabins

The Plateau Valley has ranch homes, older houses in town and cabins toward Grand Mesa. All of them lose heat through the same places: open attics, bare rim joists, leaky crawl spaces and gaps around doors and windows. At 10F January lows, closing those leaks and building the attic toward R-60 makes a clear difference in heating cost and comfort.

Snow and ice dams

More snow means more chance of ice dams when heat leaks into the attic and melts snow on the roof. Air sealing the ceiling and adding enough insulation to keep the roof deck cold, plus eave baffles, is the fix.

Recreation gateway

Collbran is a gateway to Vega State Park and the northeast side of Grand Mesa. Cabins and second homes used in winter benefit from closed-cell foam in crawl spaces and on rim joists, which protects plumbing and keeps the place easier to heat when you arrive.

Getting the order right

In a cold climate the order of work matters. Air sealing comes first, because heat carried out by leaking air is the biggest loss. Then the attic gets built up toward R-60. Then the rim joists and crawl space. Doing the attic before sealing it means paying for insulation that underperforms, so we always seal first.
