Some studies show that radiant barriers can lower cooling costs 5% to 10% when used in a warm, sunny climate. Some of the same materials used as insulation facings can be installed separately to provide an air barrier, vapor barrier, and/or radiant barrier.

In addition, our range of insulation will provide superior performance at a fraction of the thickness! Using Thermawrap Multi-Purpose Insulation in a new or existing timber floor is a quick and efficient method of improving the overall thermal performance, Keeping the heat in your home is essential for lowering your energy bills, carbon footprint and best of all saving you money.The Federal Trade Commission has issued the “Trade Regulation Rule Concerning the Labeling and Advertising of Home Insulation” (16 CFR Part 460). Liquid foam insulation -- combined with a foaming agent -- can be applied using small spray containers or in larger quantities as a pressure-sprayed (foamed-in-place) product.

Some manufacturers use polyisocyanurate as the insulating material in structural insulated panels (SIPs). The unique white needle punch polyester outer layer increases visual appearance and offers increased solar heat resistance. In warmer weather, Tyvek® ThermaWrap® LE turns the tables, reflecting warm air out and away from the structure, to help improve air-conditioning efficiency. Ask contractors about their air-sealing services and costs as well, because it’s a good idea to seal air leaks before installing insulation. Offering sound absorption and noise reduction properties, as well as commercial metal stud partitions.Polyurethane is a thermoset foam insulation material that contains a low-conductivity gas in its cells. A well-designed, installed, and properly operated mechanical ventilation system can also help prevent indoor moisture problems, which is important for achieving the energy-saving benefits of a SIP structure. Rigid fiber or fibrous board insulation consists of either fiberglass or mineral wool material and is primarily used for insulating air ducts in homes. This ability to conform makes loose-fill insulation well suited for retrofits and locations where it would be difficult to install other types of insulation.
