Welcome to our home on the net!

Klondike Foam & Fireproofing, Inc. is a specialty contracting firm that has been in business since 1981. The company is owned and operated by Doug and Bruce Scott, both in the insulation business since 1976. We specialize in sprayed polyurethane foam, cementitious fireproofing and specialty coatings. We have successfully completed a wide variety of projects in diverse conditions and locales throughout Alaska. Our personnel are certified technicians using state of the art equipment and time and weather proven materials and techniques. We have trailer-mounted equipment for use on the road system and portable equipment that we can fly or barge to remote sites.

 

Polyurethane spray foam is the very best insulation in the world. It not only insulates well, it also adds structural strength, stops air infiltration, has a low moisture permeability, stops condensation, doesn’t support convection heat loss, and pays for itself in fuel savings in a short amount of time. Some people are worried about the flammability aspects of foam. Foam does give off bad gasses once it is under combustion, but so does carpeting, carpet pads, some building materials, certain furnishings, furniture, clothing, and lots of other things in this modern world. As long as foam is used properly it poses no danger in buildings. We have put foam in schools, hospitals, homes, businesses, etc. and it performs fine. If foam is in occupied buildings it must be covered with a proper thermal barrier such as sheetrock, a sufficient guage metal, or sprayed fireproofing. As long as this is done, foam meets all building, fire, and insurance codes. There are certain applications in our arctic climate where foam's performance is far and away superior to any alternatives. Metal buildings, flat roofs, hot roofs, in open beam and cathedral type construction, cantilevered areas, floors of buildings up on pilings, rim joists, water and sewer lines, tanks, or any other place where a seamless, sealing, structural, conforming to any shape material is needed. Using foam insulation saves fuel oil. We like to say you only insulate once, but you’re going to pay for heat for a long time. Please feel free to call us and discuss your building project. We are glad to share our knowledge and some of the tips and tricks concerning thermal breaks, vapor barriers, framing methods, etc. that we have picked up over the years. We can spray or pour foam just about anywhere and we have 100 % solids sprayed plastic coatings for foam protection, waterproofing, and liners and sprayed cementitious fireproofings for thermal protection of foam.
