The spheres are insulated with 50mm (2") fibreglass with a foil covering. They are easily heated with a small electric heater. When the outside temperature dips below 0 here we keep our sphere warm with a little 1500 W electric heter. It doesn't even run half the time.

Many people think manufactured homes are cold in the winter and hot in the summer. With today’s insulation standards our Karsten homes have an insulation rating as high if not higher than a site-built home. With "Energy-Plus" the floors have R-33 roll-type and batt-style insulation. The exterior walls have R-19 batt-style insulation while the roof has R-40 blown-in cellulose insulation.

Yes, very important, to keep you warm in the winter and cool in the summer, walls floor and ceiling are all fully insulated.

As the log shell is being loaded onto trucks for delivery, the lateral V groove on each log is filled with fiberglass insulation and ready for re-erection. Each of the corner notches are laid with insulation as the home is re-erected. All of the insulation for the log work is included in the package price.

If your floor gives you ‘cold feet,’ here’s an opportunity to save money and aggravation. There are many conditions that can cause this problem, which our infrared scan can quickly identify. Possibly, but without first doing an energy audit of the whole house, you may be throwing good money after bad. Remember: your house works as a system; changing one thing can affect the performance of other components.

There is a double ceiling between gym and Benedict hall. In addition there is an air space for further insulation and sound absorbing connections between floors. The floor of the gym is equipped with a sound-softening polyurethane resin surface. Therefore, basketball games should have a minimal impact on any additional event that is occurring at the same time on the first level of the center.

Placing insulation under your floor is not imperative; however, it will increase the operating efficiency of your Warm Tiles system by minimizing heat loss.

The bases are insulated very well, in fact our dwarf wall bases coupled with our conservatories are the only conservatory project to conform to new government Part L regulations for thermal efficiency in buildings.

With double-glazed windows the sealed air space between the panes of glass has a big effect on energy performance. A very thin air space does not insulate as well as a thicker air space because of the conductivity through that small space. If the air space is too wide, however, convection within the glazing will occur and degrade the insulative qualities. The material that separates the two panes of glass in an insulated glass unit is called the spacer.

In a non-insulated switch, the contacts short to the chassis ground or engine block when the switch makes, essentially providing a ground connection to your load.

All wall panels come with foam core insulation. Insulated doors are available and recommended for extreme hot or cold climates. Floor insulation can be easily added to the foundation boxes provided and insulation can be added to the roof between the beams if desired.

We offer many types of insulation to choose from. Our associates can help you determine what insulation type will best suit your building needs.

Yes, insulation prevents heat loss. We recommend R-11 or R-13 fiberglass insulation. The insulation may be standard paper faced. All the walls and the ceiling should be insulated.

Yes, the ceiling is insulated to prevent condensation from forming on the ceiling and dripping on the contents stored below.

Other blocks using inserts or hollow core blocks with poured insulation range between 5 and 6 for a 9 and 10" block.

When properly installed, the R-value of exterior walls increases by as much as 22 percent providing a dramatic enhancement in thermal control.

Structural Insulated Panels exceed the Building Regulation requirements with regards to fire resistance; with 12.5mm fire resistant plasterboard the panels achieve a Class 1 fire rating. A Class 0 fire rating is achieved if two layers of plasterboard are fixed.

Not usually, but our Stucco Panels can be insulated at the factory (additional charges apply) with standard EPS (Expanded PolyStyrene) foam board. Various thickness and densities can be used to achieve desired R-Values. More often though, batts of rolled fiberglass insulation are installed over the girts before our Stucco Wall Panels are attached. Contact us for installation procedures.
