Insulation is one of the most critical components of a roof, providing much-needed thermal performance in today’s energy conscious world. Polyiso’s unique benefits, strength and versatility allow it to adapt to a variety of roofing applications.

Commercial buildings require a ???cavity wall??? of air space and insulation to provide protection from weather and fire. Since the required thickness of insulation affects the cost of construction, more and more builders and architects are choosing polyiso cavity wall insulation because of its superior R-value.

According to the Department of Energy, heating and cooling costs comprise more than 44% of the energy consumed in a single family home. As many design professionals are well aware, choosing energy-efficient insulation can be one of the most effective ways to save energy and money.

Polyiso is a closed-cell, rigid foam board insulation used primarily on the roofs of offices, health facilities, warehouses, retail and industrial manufacturing facilities and educational institutions. Because of its high thermal performance in the home building market, it is product of choice for energy-aware homebuilders and consumers.

Highest Thermal Efficiency ??" Polyiso is the most thermally efficient insulation available in the marketplace, as determined using Long Term Thermal Resistance (LTTR) values, a 15 year time-weighted R-value. In addition, members of PIMA initiated a third party certification program ??" Quality MarkCM ??" to validate these thermal values. Quality MarkCM is a voluntary program administered by FM Global, one of the nation???s most dependable testing organizations.

Polyiso is the most thermally efficient insulation available in the marketplace; it has the highest R-value available Superior performance in fire tests ??" polyiso meets the strict standard of both FM Class Approvals 1 (FM 4470) and UL 1256

It is not necessary to wait unless you currently have roof damage that is causing moisture or other problems in your attic.

Products for low-slope roofs, found on commercial and industrial buildings, fall into two categories - single-ply materials and coatings. Single-ply materials are large sheets of pre-made roofing that are mechanically fastened over the existing roof and sealed at the Seams. Coatings are applied using rollers, sprays, or brushes, over an existing clean, leak-free roof surface. Products for sloped roofs, usually found on residences, are currently available in clay, or concrete tiles.

The Best insulation for a spa is Thermal Sealed or sometimes called thermal lock, thermal pane or air tight. This method has the maximum amount of efficiency without letting cold air into the spa's equipment area. Beware! There are only a few ways to make a true thermally sealed spa. Some manufactures call their spa thermal pane, when actually they are vented and expensive to operate.

The paint finishes used on our panels are the highest quality. We start out with a high-tensile steel. We then coat it with a Galvalume 55% zinc, 45% aluminum coating. They are next pre-treated with primer, and then finally coated with a high quality baked-on enamel paint system.

Yes, rFoil™ used in conjunction with other conventional insulation creates a highly energy efficient insulation combination. Together, both types of insulation can substantially help reduce energy costs.

In addition to asphalt shingles, asphalt roll products are used for residential roofing applications (primarily for underlayments and flashings). There are four basic types of roll roofing materials, each tailored for use in certain job requirements: Smooth Surfaced Roll Roofing. Also termed coated felt, this smooth-surfaced roll roofing is covered with ground talc or mica.

Three kinds of insulation are currently available depending on the intended use: expanded polystyrene, extruded polystyrene and polyisocyanurate. The insulation comes to the site pre-cut in 6” wide strips to be slid into the Octaform™ system. Each strip has pre-cut edge slots to slide into place.

Yes, if you like.Our BTUFOIL tm Reflective Insulation and BTUBUSTERS tm PREMIUM RADIANT BARRIER can be used in conjunction with fiberglass insulation creates a highly energy efficient insulation combination. Together, both types of insulation can substantially help reduce energy costs.

Our hard-side coolers are made with polyurethane foam while our soft-side coolers are insulated with either polyethylene or polyurethane foam.

Yes they are. Many of the systems are being used in hospitals, retirement care facilities, the food service industry, hospitality industry, and government institutions such as schools and universities. The use of this system improves indoor air quality, reduces the physical effort involved with cleaning and provides a more thorough approach to cleaning.

A reflective insulation reduces radiant heat transfer across air spaces by use of one or more high reflective/low emittance surfaces (Reflectivity of 90% or higher - Emissivity of 10% or less). This rate of heat transfer can be quantified in an R-value (for a specific application).

Sound attenuation, or the limiting of sound propagation from one area to another, requires the application of special and standard insulation materials to encase or enclose the noise generating source, forming a sound barrier between the source and the surrounding area.

Black plastics have black pigments based on carbon black, graphite, MoS2 or carbon fibres, which are electrically conductive in their basic forms. We can manufacture black, electrically insulating plastics using special black pigments in a special production process

Yes! Many GSHP systems are being installed using a multitude of systems hooked up to an array of buried vertical or horizontal loops. This simplifies zone control and internal load balancing.

This term refers to devices that are used for selling, purchasing, exchanging, custody transfer, or establishing the cost for services or hire on the basis of a measurement.

Yes. The RainSaver is designed for use on both residential and commercial properties, with the commercial RainSaver-C having five 18mm outlets to handle the larger volume of rain water.

Photographs are also available for purchase/licensing as digital images - ideal for sponsors to use in their promotional material. Send an e-mail if you're interested and I'll send all the information to you.

Yes, Zelbrite is used in many commercial pools. Among the latest to choose Zelbrite is the Canberra International Sports and Aquatic Centre which includes a 50 metre pool served by six filters with each filter holding a tonne of Zelbrite. You will find that many swim schools have changed to Zelbrite because it provides their customers with the best quality water and delivers significant savings on chemicals.
