Studies have shown that as much as 40% of a building’s total energy loss is due to air infiltration. Traditional fiberglass insulation is only stapled, or placed into the wall cavities and does not seal the stud and wall cavities from end to end, or top to bottom. Air infiltration can pass through these gaps, making it far less efficient than EARTHANE. EARTHANE not only adheres to, but forms to the walls and floors to create a tight seal and insulating barrier that stops this air leakage. EARTHANE also boasts the highest R-value per inch than any other commercial material making your building more comfortable and less expensive to heat in the winter, and cool in the summer.
Since EARTHANE acts as an air barrier, it also helps to reduce moisture infiltration, which is a source of dangerous mold and mildew growth in the home, and can cause severe health problems to its occupants. Moisture infiltration can also cause structural damage to your building. |
