CertainTeed has introduced SMARTBATT™ with MoistureSense™ technology, a new kraft-faced fiberglass batt insulation that the company says contributes to healthier homes and buildings by intelligently managing moisture.
BarrierHL™ is a flexible, low-profile, 25 psi, under concrete insulator that is made with ¼-inch thick EPS foam in flexible 4- x 96-foot rolls. BarrierHL protects concrete from heat loss and moisture especially in slab-on-slab applications.
rFOIL R-6.0 reflective duct insulation is designed to reduce radiant heat gain/loss in residential duct applications. It helps control condensation by providing an air-tight thermo break around ductwork and is clean, safe, environmentally friendly, and is easy to install.
rFOIL R-4.2 reflective duct insulation is designed to reduce radiant heat gain/loss in residential duct applications. It helps control condensation by providing an air-tight thermo break around ductwork and is clean, safe, environmentally friendly, and is easy to install.
rFOIL Big-8 is designed to reduce radiant heat gain/loss in residential duct applications. It helps control condensation by providing an air-tight thermo break around ductwork. It increases system efficiency while reducing energy usage, utility bills, and stress on HVAC equipment.
rFOIL Big-6 is designed to reduce radiant heat gain/loss in residential duct applications. It helps control condensation by providing an air-tight thermo break around ductwork and is clean, safe, and environmentally friendly.
Thermafiber has announced the launch of UltraBatt, a new residential and light commercial insulation batt. The company said UltraBatt insulation is engineered to provide thermal comfort, fire protection, and sound control all in one product.
The suction line of a refrigeration system is normally insulated with a flexible, closed-cell elastomeric material. Insulating the suction line is done to prevent condensate from developing and dripping off. It also limits the amount of heat added to the refrigerant as it travels back to the compressor.
The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) has announced 12 projects to develop new HVAC and insulation technologies as well as open source energy-efficiency software to help homes and commercial buildings save energy and money.
