Spray Foam Insulation in Pennfield Township, MI

Spray Foam Insulation in Pennfield Township spans suburban homes near Battle Creek and farmhouses and outbuildings farther north. Pennfield Charter Township had 8,781 residents at the 2020 census, down 2.4% from 9,001 in 2010, on about 35.1 square miles. Its population grew from 6,626 in 1960, which tells you a lot of the housing dates from the 1960s and 1970s.

What 1960s and 1970s homes need

Ranches and split-levels from those decades usually have some attic insulation, but rarely the depth the Department of Energy recommends for Zone 5 today, and the attic floor has seldom been sealed. Rim joists are usually bare or have a loose batt. The usual job is bypass sealing and blown-in in the attic and closed-cell foam on the rim.

Brownlee Park

Part of the Brownlee Park census-designated place lies in Pennfield, where the township meets Emmett and Battle Creek. Homes there are similar to those on the city side.

Barns and shops

Farther from the city, pole barns, machine sheds and shops are common. Steel buildings that drip in cold weather get closed-cell foam to stop the condensation, and heated shops get enough foam to hold heat through January.

Schools and families

The township runs its own school system, Pennfield Schools, with buildings in the township. Many households here are families who have owned their homes for years and want to cut heating costs.

Basement finishing

Many Pennfield homes have full basements that owners are finishing into family rooms or bedrooms. Before framing goes up, closed-cell foam on the rim and the foundation walls keeps damp air off cold concrete and adds R-value without eating floor space. It also stops the musty smell that can build up behind fiberglass on concrete.
