Many spray foam companies are realizing the benefits of adding blown-in insulation to their service offerings. This was exactly the case for Michael Clark, owner of Clark Spray Foam Insulation and Thermal Coatings in Jacksonville, Florida. In order to expand his company and diversify the types of jobs he can take on, Michael recently purchased a CM2400 insulation blower, a high-performance insulation machine built to handle both residential and commercial projects.
This strategic investment didn’t just expand Clark Spray Foam’s capabilities—it positioned them as a more versatile leader in the insulation market across Northeast Florida. Let’s take a closer look at why this company chose the CM2400 insulation blower, how it was installed, and what it means for their future growth.
Why the CM2400 Was the Right Choice
The CM2400 from Cool Machines is designed for contractors who need efficiency, reliability, and power in one package. For a spray foam company like Clark’s, the machine checked all the right boxes:
- High Production Capacity: Equipped with a 20-inch airlock, the CM2400 can process a high volume of fiberglass, cellulose and mineral wool, getting jobs done quickly and reducing labor costs.
- Long-Distance Blowing Power: Its 5-horsepower positive displacement (PD) blower provides strong air pressure, allowing insulation to be blown long distances—ideal for reaching attic corners and even large commercial applications.
- Versatility: While Clark Spray Foam built a reputation as a spray foam contractor, the CM2400 gives them the ability to offer blown-in fiberglass insulation as well. This makes them a one-stop shop for homeowners and businesses looking for the right insulation solution for their needs.
For growing insulation companies looking to expand, the CM2400 is a smart investment because it bridges the gap between small-scale residential jobs and bigger commercial projects.
Installing the CM2400 Into a 20 Foot Trailer
When Clark Spray Foam purchased the CM2400, they knew it wasn’t just about the machine—it was about setting up a complete system for efficiency. We worked directly with the Clark Spray Foam team to design and install the machine in their trailer.
The setup included:
- The CM2400 insulation blower – mounted for easy operation.
- A hose reel – which made setup and cleanup faster and safer on job sites.
- A generator system – to ensure reliable power even on jobs where electricity wasn’t readily available.
By the time the installation was complete, their trailer was fully outfitted as a mobile insulation unit capable of handling everything from small attic retrofits to large commercial roof decks.
First Job With the New Blower
After completing the installation, we joined Clark Spray Foam on their first project using the new CM2400. The job itself was modest—only about 500 square feet—but it gave us the perfect opportunity to demonstrate the machine’s operation and provide hands-on training for their crew.
The project involved properly insulating a garage to improve energy efficiency and comfort. To complete the job, we installed the following:
- Rafter Vents – to ensure that attic ventilation remained intact.
- Rulers – allowing the crew to confirm accurate insulation depth across the space.
- Attic Card – documenting insulation type and R-value for compliance.
- 10 inches of Fiberglass Insulation (R-30) – the recommended amount for that garage space.
Even on this smaller job, the CM2400 showed its strength. The crew was able to install insulation quickly, evenly, and with minimal dust. More importantly, they saw how this machine could help them handle larger-scale jobs just as efficiently.
Why This Investment Matters for Spray Foam Companies
The decision to add a CM2400 blower was more than just a purchase—it was a business growth strategy. For many spray foam companies, blown-in insulation opens up opportunities such as:
- Serving budget-conscious homeowners who may prefer fiberglass or cellulose instead of spray foam.
- Tapping into commercial projects that require large-scale blown-in insulation.
- Improving versatility—the ability to recommend the right insulation type for each project builds customer trust.
- Adding a new revenue stream without taking away from existing spray foam services.
By offering both spray foam and blown-in insulation, Clark Spray Foam established themselves as a multi-solution insulation contractor, able to meet a wide range of customer needs across the Jacksonville area.
Looking Ahead for Clark Spray Foam
With their new CM2400 system, Clark Spray Foam Insulation and Thermal Coatings has the tools to scale their business even further. Customers benefit by having a trusted contractor who can evaluate their home or business and recommend the insulation system best suited for their needs and budget.
