Top-Notch Insulated Livestock Buildings Colorado

Considering blizzards, winds, and upcoming low temperatures, our Rocky Mountain cattle, dairy, and hog operations really need insulated livestock buildings Colorado. Companies reap the benefits.  By calculating and constructing livestock facilities using sufficient levels of insulation, overall production and workplace conditions are improved.

Insulation does have a financial impact.  Insulation mitigates energy bills and effectively assists employees to increase production of eggs, milk, or meat. Animal health can be positively impacted as well. Proper insulation and ventilation systems are the most effective conservation measure available.   Proper insulation can pay for itself in just a few years but stays in place for decades.

Engineering Custom Livestock Buildings Colorado

That is why at Sapphire Construction our custom livestock buildings Colorado are keenly engineered. Detailed engineering formulas, guided by decades of experience with Lester Buildings, combine to bring each facility the very best.  High quality materials used to insulate the ceiling, roof, walls, floor, and foundation – as well as doors and windows – can make all the difference.  Even our screws and fasteners have a role to play in these top-notch outbuildings.

R-Value of Insulating Materials

The layers of a building from the exterior building materials to the interior or all add insulating effect. However, materials vary in their ability to conduct or stop heat.  Thick fluffy insulation is best able to stop the transfer of heat.  These poor conductors “resist” the flow of heat, which is measured as the R-value.  Our building designs include the high R-value installations best suited to Colorado weather conditions.

Solutions Required for Livestock Buildings

Each livestock operation must deal with its own very specific problems.  The need for insulation is just one solution.  When operational problems such as heat/cold are isolated and solved in the design phase of any livestock building, a proactive approach can be employed.  It is much cheaper and easier than retrofitting buildings later.

Problems can be solved through better design and architecture. Sample issues may include factors such as heat and cold flow, manure management, moisture prevention, dust and dirt; rodent, insect, and bird problems, and odors.
