Why Choosing the Right Insulation Company Matters
As an insulation company serving commercial properties, we understand how critical proper insulation and air barriers are to building performance. Energy loss, inconsistent indoor temperatures, and rising utility costs are often tied directly to gaps in the building envelope. Choosing an experienced insulation company helps address these issues at the source.
At Washington Roofing & Insulation Inc., our focus is on helping commercial buildings operate more efficiently, last longer, and perform as designed through proven insulation and air barrier solutions.
How Insulation Impacts Commercial Buildings
Insulation does more than regulate temperature. In a commercial environment, it plays a key role in protecting structural components, controlling moisture, and reducing operating costs.
Reduced energy loss and utility savings
A properly insulated building limits unwanted heat transfer. When insulation is paired with a continuous air barrier system, energy loss is significantly reduced. This allows HVAC systems to operate more efficiently, lowering overall utility expenses.
Improved building performance
An effective insulation system supports consistent indoor temperatures and helps reduce drafts, condensation, and humidity fluctuations. For large commercial spaces, these improvements directly impact comfort, equipment longevity, and building durability.
Air Barriers and Their Role in Efficiency
As a professional insulation company, we place strong emphasis on air barrier systems. Air leakage is one of the most common causes of energy loss in commercial buildings.
What air barriers are designed to do
Air barrier systems are made up of multiple materials installed together to form a continuous barrier against uncontrolled air movement. This system wraps the building enclosure and protects it from the negative effects of air leakage.
Uncontrolled air movement can:
• Reduce energy efficiency
• Increase moisture intrusion
• Shorten the lifespan of building materials
• Create inconsistent indoor environments
Why air leakage is harmful
Air leakage allows outside air to enter the building and conditioned air to escape. Over time, this impacts insulation performance and can introduce moisture into walls and roof assemblies. A properly installed air barrier helps protect the entire structure.
Fluid-Applied Air Barrier Systems
Fluid-applied air barriers are one of the most effective solutions for modern commercial construction.
Seamless protection for building enclosures
Unlike sheet systems, fluid-applied air barriers create a continuous, seamless membrane across the building shell. This reduces the risk of gaps, overlaps, and weak points that can occur with other methods.
Long-term durability and performance
When installed correctly, fluid-applied air barriers provide long-lasting protection. They flex with building movement and maintain adhesion over time, helping the insulation system perform consistently.
Certified Expertise You Can Trust
Not every insulation company has the training or certifications required to install air barrier systems correctly.
ABAA-certified contractor status
Washington Roofing & Insulation Inc. is an Air Barrier Association of America certified contractor. Our team includes certified applicators who are trained to install air barrier systems in compliance with industry standards.
This certification ensures that our work follows best practices for air barrier performance, inspection, and long-term durability.
Professional installation matters
Air barrier systems must be installed precisely to function as intended. As an experienced insulation company, we coordinate closely with project teams to ensure systems are applied correctly and integrated with the overall building envelope.
Insulation and Air Barriers Working Together
Insulation and air barriers are most effective when designed to work together.
A complete building envelope solution
Insulation slows heat transfer, while air barriers stop uncontrolled air movement. Together, they form a comprehensive system that improves energy efficiency and building performance.
Supporting long-term building health
Proper insulation and air barrier installation help reduce moisture issues, protect structural components, and extend the lifespan of the building. These systems are an investment in long-term performance, not just short-term energy savings.
