  • How do you stop metal shed corrosion?

    A coat of spray foam insulation applied to the interior of the barn creates a barrier between the metal roof and the moisture and methane gas. To schedule a spray foam insulation installation, call Greener World Solutions LLC today.

  • How do you control methane from livestock?

    A coat of spray foam insulation applied to the interior of the barn by a Greener World Solutions LLC professional creates a barrier between the metal roof, moisture, and methane gas, thus controlling methane levels.

  • Is spray foam insulation a barrier between metal roof and methane gas?

    Yes. Spray foam insulation applied to the interior of the barn creates a barrier between the metal roof, moisture, and methane gas.

  • How do you stop leaks on a metal roof?

    To stop leaks, exterior seams would need to be caulked, fasteners tightened, and elastomeric coatings would be applied to seal the holes. To request a metal roof leak repair service, contact Greener World Solutions LLC today.

  • How do you prevent hog barn corrosion?

    The best way is to call Greener World Solutions LLC to secure the air chutes. The goal of this is to ensure that they won’t blow out. Then, we’ll spray foam insulation in the air chutes to ensure a tight seal.  We’ll then top off your cellulose to an R-40 rating.

  • How do you seal attic penetrations?

    Installing an Attic Max system in your attic will seal all air chutes, seams, plumbing, electrical, and can light fixtures. It will also create an air moisture barrier all while giving you the R-49 rating that the U.S. Department of Energy recommends.

  • How do you reduce mold?

    There’s no feasible way to eliminate all mold and mold spores, so the most effective way to control indoor mold growth is to control moisture. This is where closed-cell spray foam is used very effectively.

  • How do you reduce drafts?

    Greener World Solutions LLC technicians reduce drafts by applying a coat of spray foam insulation to the interior of the barn which creates a barrier between the metal roof, moisture, and methane gas.

  • Does spray foam insulation strengthen a building’s structure?

    Yes. Spray foam adds structural strength due to its second property advantage. This is because spray foam insulation expands as it meets the air and hardens as it dries, resulting in a transformation from liquid to a rigid state.

  • How can you reduce noise with insulation?

    The denser and thicker the insulation, the better it will perform.

  • Does insulation reduce dust and pollen?

    Yes. Spray foam insulation can also help reduce the intake of airborne irritants into the airspace of the home such as dust and pollen.  When seals and cracks are covered and contained, the foam will ultimately aid in the reduction of these outdoor pollutants from entering the home’s air. You’ll breathe easier inside your house, especially during allergy season.

  • What's a Cool-Roof system?

    A Cool-Roof system combines a seamless, jointless roofing material with the added benefit of spray foam insulation to create a sustainable roofing option for new or replacement low-slope roofs.

  • What's a sustainable roofing system?

    A long-lasting roof provides a sustainability edge over other less durable roofing systems. The longer your roof is performing, the lower the rate of roofing membrane going to landfill, or carbon emissions generated in the roof replacement process.

  • How do you replace a low-slope roof?

    There are multiple ways to replace a sloped roof. Greener World Solutions LLC provides options for low-slope roofing. You can count on us for complete tear-off services, simple coating applications, and more depending on the condition of the roof.

  • Can a roof be re-coated?

    Yes. With our metal roofing restoration services.

  • How do you add reflective coating to a roof?

    Greener World Solutions LLC can apply reflective coatings by spraying them directly over your roof system. There are many types of reflective systems. Rest assured that our team will provide you with the best option for your roof.

  • What's metal roof restoration?

    Metal roof restoration involves repairing or replacing an existing metal roof. The goal is to rejuvenate the roof’s look and have it perform like new again. 

  • Why would you spend money to replace an existing metal roof when it can be rejuvenated to look an perform like new?

    For a few reasons, such as: 


    1. It’s less expensive and less disruptive than replacing the roof
    2. It seals deteriorated fasteners
    3. Restores wind resistance
    4. Treats and controls rust
    5. Seals seams and flashings
    6. Improves building aesthetics
    7. Repairs hair or mechanical damage
    8. Limits tear-off and waste generation
    9. It can be recoated in the future
  • What's elastomeric roofing?

    Elastomeric roofing is a roof coating that is liquid applied (typically made from either silicone or acrylic) that cures into a durable, highly elastic membrane when it dries. The elastic quality makes it easy to apply to most roof surfaces and highly adaptable to a wide range of weather conditions.

  • How do you control roof rust?

    Greener World Solutions LLC works with industry leaders on roof rust prevention. Our manufacturers provide rust control primer products, along with their existing coating systems to achieve this goal.

  • What's a spray polyurethane foam roofing system?

    Spray polyurethane foam is a cellular material that is formed with the spray application and reaction of the two liquids.

  • What's an acrylic roof coating?

    An acrylic roof coating is a durable, low-VOC water-based coating with superior solar reflectance.

  • What's a silicone roof coating?

    Silicone roof coating is an extremely UV-resistant product that can be applied in low temperatures.

  • What's spray polyurethane foam?

    Spray polyurethane foam (SPF) is a material that's widely used to insulate buildings and seal cracks and gaps, making the building more energy-efficient and comfortable. How does SPF work? Greener World Solutions LLC contractors combine two liquids to initiate a chemical reaction that creates foam. Reach out to our pros at one of the top spray foam insulation companies today.

  • What makes polyurethane spray foam a high-performance material?

    A high-performance roof is one that integrates and optimizes all major high-performance attributes, from durability to energy savings. Contact our commercial insulation contractors today to learn more about this high-performance material.

  • How do you use insulation to deter rodents and insects?

    The best way to deal with critters is to install a solid critter barrier. The barrier should be continuous across any cross-section of the house and shouldn't have any holes in it. Learn more about how spray foam insulation companies can help you by reaching out to us today.

  • How can you prevent ice dams?

ENERGY STAR estimates that homeowners can save up to 20% on heating and cooling costs by doing so.

  • What’s the difference between open and closed-cell spray foam?

    The main difference between these foams is their physical structure. Closed-cell spray foam has closed and tightly packed cells that make it hard, dense, and impermeable. Closed-cell spray foam has a higher R-value than open-cell spray foam, meaning it is more effective at blocking out heat. Closed-cell spray foam can also act as an air and vapor barrier. Open-cell spray foam can only act as an air barrier at a certain thickness level. Open-cell spray foam has open and flexible cells that make it soft, light, and permeable. Both types of spray foam can insulate against noise and dampness, but open-cell spray foam is springier and can get into every nook and cranny of a wall. Get in touch with us today to speak to an expert at one of the top spray foam insulation companies in the area.

  • How do you seal and insulate the envelope of a home?
