UltraTouch Denim insulation is made from high-quality natural fibers that provide effective sound absorption and thermal performance. The insulation contains 80% post-consumer recycled natural fibers and is easy to work with as it does not contain any Fiberglass or chemical irritants. Continue reading
AirKrete is a thermally efficient and environmentally friendly, non-toxic insulation. The basic material components are air, water, and 100% organic magnesium oxide cement that has the consistency of shaving cream when first applied. Continue reading
Wool has always been used to insulate homes in New Zealand, but is just now catching on in the U.S. market. This all-natural and inherently fire-retardant material is non-toxic, resists mold growth, is vermin resistant and is acoustically superior. Continue reading
Funded by a grant from the U.S. Department of Energy, researchers at the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory developed GFP thermal insulation technology. Fi-Foil licensed this GFP technology and now holds the exclusive licensing rights for use in residential and commercial insulation applications. The GFP technology consists of multiple, honeycombed layers of thin, low-e metalized aluminum that are baffled with polymer chambers enveloped by a sealed barrier and filled with either air or a low-conductivity gas. Continue reading
The Eclipse Air Duct Board with ECOSE Technology is designed for both commercial and residential air handling installations. Knauf fabricates rectangular or Max10 air duct systems with this board as it is based on rapidly renewable bio-based materials instead of the petroleum-based chemicals most traditional fiberglass insulation products are made of. Continue reading
The Reward Wall Systems iForm product line offers the most innovative ICFs in the industry. The thick concrete core of insulated concrete forms keeps air where it should be keeping interior temperatures stay steady throughout the year which in turn reduces heating and cooling costs. When compared to a conventionally built wall their ICFs produce a stronger concrete wall, tighter building envelope and a more efficient system. Continue reading
The P2000 Insulation System is installed as an all weather barrier in Industrial, Agricultural, Commercial and Residential properties as a core component of the building envelope.The product is a laminated board with double sealed joints that block drafts and delivers energy savings along with comfort.
