SPF Enables Timely, Cost-Effective Renovations

During the recent renovation of the Gaylord Opryland Resort and Convention Center, spray polyurethane foam (SPF) was used in two different applications to solve unique problems. The first involved insulating a number of guest room walls with CertainTeed’s CertaSpray® Closed Cell Foam Insulation. The second utilized the structural properties of CertaSpray Closed Cell Foam Insulation to create a new bar and lounge in the Cascades Atrium.

Exterior Wall Renovation 

Renovation of some of the guest rooms required the removal of both the fiberglass insulation and the exterior fiberglass-mat faced gypsum board sheathing, leaving exposed brick. Replacing the exterior sheathing would have required removal and replacement of the brick, an expensive proposition. Rather, the general contractor Insulation Solutions of Tennessee developed the idea to use closed cell SPF with a baffle system.
