Ceilings

Maintain a more comfortable, drier environment inside an agricultural building by insulating the ceiling with rigid insulation from Dow.

No matter if the building has a drop ceiling or exposed rafters, durable pressure-washable Dow extruded polystyrene and polyisocyanurate insulations help control condensation and heat gain/loss.

Choosing the right insulation for your agricultural building depends on what its primary use will be. If you need help determining the best insulation solutions for your application, please let us know.

Drop Ceiling

A drop ceiling in animal confinement buildings, such as poultry houses, helps keep conditioned air closer to the animals where it belongs, and maintain optimum airflow, humidity control and efficiency of tunnel ventilation fans.

Exposed Rafters

When warm, humid air comes in contact with an uninsulated metal roof, condensation forms and drips to the floor below. Rigid foam insulation from Dow helps stop humid air from reaching the metal roof, reducing the potential for condensation.
