How to Get More Use Out of Your Bonus Room in Your Florida Home

Imagine having a spacious bonus room that’s actually usable year-round, even in the scorching Florida heat. For many homeowners, that extra space over the garage becomes a no-go zone during the summer months. But what if you could transform your bonus room into a comfortable craft room, home office, or even a home theater for movie nights? Thanks to spray foam insulation, the proven solution for temperature regulation and energy efficiency, you CAN turn that small bonus space into the room in your home you’ve always dreamed of.

At Allweather Insulation, we’ve been helping Tallahassee homeowners maximize their living space since 1955. Our expertise in spray foam insulation has made us a trusted name in Florida insulation solutions. Let’s explore how we can help you reclaim your bonus room and create the perfect space for work, play, or relaxation.

The Florida Bonus Room Challenge

Unfinished bonus room above garage, beams and rafters exposed, uninsulated. In the Sunshine State, the bonus room over your garage presents some unique challenges:

Poor insulation: This space is often under-insulated during construction.
Heat gain: Direct sun exposure on the roof and heat transfer from the garage below create a double whammy of warmth.
Air leaks: Gaps and cracks allow hot, humid air to infiltrate your bonus room.

The consequences? Uncomfortable temperatures, wasted space, and skyrocketing energy bills as you attempt to cool this challenging area. But there’s good news – spray foam insulation offers a powerful solution.

The Power of Spray Foam Insulation

Spray foam insulation comes in two varieties: open cell and closed cell. Open cell spray foam is less dense than closed cell foam and is the ideal choice for insulating your flex space. It manages the room’s temperature when you insulate the roofline and the floor (aka the garage ceiling).

Here’s how spray foam works:

It expands to create an airtight seal to block air leaks and prevent heat transfer.
It provides excellent R-value (thermal resistance).
It reduces moisture buildup, preventing mold growth.
