Beyond the ceiling...Smart Insulation


INSULATION IS REQUIRED TO HELP YOUR HOME MAINTAIN COMFORTABLE TEMPERATURE.

The added benefit is lower cooling and heating costs by using material which not only slows heat transfer (R-Value) but stops air flow out of the home.
During Florida's blazing summer the heat gain to a home without a proper insulated assembly is tremendous.

As Florida homeowners, we are well versed in the heat and humidity effects on our comfort in this beautiful and tropical surrounding.  The correct insulation system helps to protect our home in windstorms, while drastically lowering our indoor humidity level and all while saving us $$$ each and every day.

I use "insulation system" with the purpose to share a quick lesson in building science. If we use an Air Barrier insulation product (Icynene) to provide an unvented air barrier envelope over our conditioned home, we stop the conditioned air leakage which easily escapes through minuscule passageways.  40% of lost energy costs in the average U.S. home is due to air leakage.
Therma Seal(TM)  provides these solutions to your home or building. A properly sealed home will cool quickly and retain that coolness for a long time. 
                The HVAC systems do not operate within a 140* attic space, working in overdrive.
                The lack of introduced humidity to the home offers a dryer and more comfortable environment.
                The air quality is improved and without humidity and heat the chances of mold/mildew drop to zero.
