Spray Foam Insulation

Transforming a Historic Warehouse into a Luxurious Spa in Philadelphia

Located at 250 Byberry Rd, Philadelphia, PA, a mid-1900s manufacturing warehouse has undergone a remarkable transformation into a high-end spa, complete with a steam room, sauna, swimming pool, hot tubs, massage area, and a full-service cafeteria. This project presented unique challenges due to the building’s age and original purpose, which included significant air leakage and no existing insulation.

Comprehensive Insulation Solution

The building’s envelope initially allowed nearly 25 air changes per hour, a rate far too inefficient for the comfort required in a luxury spa setting. To address this, the decision was made to encapsulate the entire building with 5.5 inches of open-cell foam. This insulation choice not only seals the building to dramatically reduce air leaks but also enhances the overall energy efficiency of the spa.

Open-cell foam was selected for its superior ability to fill nooks and crannies, ensuring a complete seal. This upgrade has significantly improved the thermal comfort for clients, maintaining a consistent and enjoyable environment across all spa facilities. Moreover, the insulation project positions the property to be eligible for substantial tax credits available for commercial buildings that implement energy-efficient improvements.

Commitment to Quality and Comfort

The owner’s primary concern was ensuring that spa clients experience the highest level of comfort possible. This commitment to quality is reflected in the meticulous attention to detail in the building’s retrofit.
