If you are placing the walk-in cooler on a cement slab that is at ground level with no basement or crawl space underneath, no insulated floor will be necessary. You will need to provide insulation either on top of, or underneath, any cooler placed over a basement, second story, or crawl space. The refrigeration will pull the heat out of the flooring, and if there is warmer air underneath condensation will form, causing damage to the floor material and space below.

A high-quality steel door is build with steel in the front, insulation in the middle and steel on the back. The insulation (or core) provides an insulation R-value of 10 (depends on model selected), more than twice a much as common polystyrene insulation board the same thickness. It's chemically bonded to each steel section, creating a composite structure with higher strength, greater rigidity, improved dent-resistance and better thermal protection. See similar questions...

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. See similar questions...

SUMMER: "A radiant barrier system can stop 97 percent of the thermal radiation across an attic space. If it is not stopped, that radiant energy would be absorbed by the ceiling insulation and eventually be transferred to the living space below." The Solar Collector, Quarterly Newsletter of the Florida Solar Energy Center. The heat storage capacity of reflective insulation is low. See similar questions...

The importance of basement insulation depends on whether the basement is heated. If you heat your basement, or if your furnace or other sources of heat are in the basement, you should insulate the basement walls to contain the heat. If not, you should insulate the basement ceiling to reduce heat loss to the basement and keep your floors warmer. See similar questions...

One of wood's inherent characteristics is that, as a natural product, it expands and contracts when exposed to varying temperature and humidity. All wood floors will move over the course of a year, and the way that a particular house handles seasonal changes will play a big part in determining how much the floor will move. Other considerations include the width of the floorboards and the species of wood. See similar questions...

We can add depth to the areas needing support and add rebar to strengthen the concrete for the additional load. Metal screw jacks are often used for support posts. See similar questions...

YES. The floor and walls are a significant source of heat loss. An insulated floor is warmer and drier; and it has direct influence on your comfort. Putting carpets on a floor only makes it feel warmer. If you have a heated floor insulation is very much necessary, as the heat loss through the floor would be higher than 50%. This heat loss is a huge and unnecessary waste of money. Return on investment for floor insulation is very quick, mainly because of the low cost of INSTA-PANELS®. See similar questions...

With a gym floor covering, you can hold events like dances, conferences and assemblies without fear of damaging your floor. This can also allow you to create revenue by renting your gym out for these events. If you have events that are not athletic in nature, you will save money on refinishing costs and maintenance. Furthermore, you will increase the life of your valuable hardwood floor. See similar questions...

The frequency varies by personal taste. I have clients that refinish their floor every year due to the amount of traffic they get. Other floors can last upwards of 10 years before the wear is noticeable. See similar questions...

We use floor plans along with photographs and description to locate and display information on the exact areas surveyed and from which samples are taken. See similar questions...

Although not required, we do recommend both. The crowds are huge and we want you to make your display look as sharp as possible. We have made special arrangements with COBO for you to purchase 10x20 carpets at a reduced rate, but you MUST contact in advance for this! (Convention & Show Services See similar questions...

Yes. A floor protection is required for any wood fireplace, unless it already sits on a non-combustible surface. You have many choices, such as stone, brick or tile. You need to consult your owner's manual in order to know the dimensions of the floor protection specific to your model. See similar questions...

Provide a clear set-up area as close to the building as possible in a central location. This area should have free and clear access to the inside of the building. Subfloor must be broom clean and free of debris, equipment, mud, oil, wood chips and any other contaminants. Permanent wood stops should be placed around stair landings at desired thickness. No other stops or plaes should be in as the floor is continuous. See similar questions...

After the pour, maintain a 50 degree temperature and adequate ventilation to dry floor. Approximately 5 to 10 days is required for complete drying. Do not install floor coverings until gypsum floors are totally dry. The contractor should be responsible for testing for dryness before installation of finished floor goods. See similar questions...

It depends on the amount of wear it gets. With normal wear a laquered floor floor should maintain its brilliant gloss for several years. All hardwood floors, including veneered floors, have sufficient thickness of real wood to permit re-sanding and re-lacquering several times in the lifetime of the floor. It will probably outlast you.
