The Most Important Building Product You’ll Never See!
InsulStar? is the most energy-efficient closed-cell polyurethane spray foam insulation system. Period. It is formulated to provide maximum benefits to homeowners and significant savings on energy costs. It helps stop air leakage, reduce noise, and block dust, pollen and other airborne pollutants. It helps control moisture movement to prevent condensation conditions, thereby helping reduce and eliminate moisture that can lead to mold growth. When applied directly to the roof deck, InsulStar? adds structural strength and greatly increases the ability to withstand uplift from high winds when used on roof decks.
InsulStar? is a 2lb/ft3 density, closed-cell polyurethane foam insulation applied as a liquid to the wall, ceiling, attic or floors. The liquid reacts, expands, and cures in place, forming a fully adhered, seamless insulating and air-blocking membrane that helps seal walls to prevent air penetration and block outside noise pollution. The results are a quieter home and lower energy costs. The closed-cell structure of InsulStar? blocks air movement and has a low permeance, which controls moisture vapor movement, eliminating the need for an additional vapor retarder. When moisture vapor is controlled, condensation will not occur, thus eliminating the water to support mold growth. InsulStar? can naturally inhibit the growth of bacteria and fungus (mold) per the ASTM G-21 and E-1428 tests. The anti-microbial properties do not protect occupants of spaces insulated with InsulStar? from the effects of molds, mold spores, or disease organisms that may be present in the environment.
By designing and building a highly energy-efficient, low-maintenance home, the reduction in energy used for heating and cooling will lower demand on utility companies for the life of the house. With InsulStar?, you can insulate directly to the roof deck, putting all of the space under the roof to use. By putting HVAC duct work in a conditioned space, energy waste from leakage is eliminated. This additional conditioned space can then be utilized for computer rooms, bonus rooms, playrooms, or closet space. Previously wasted attic areas become valuable living space for very little cost, while adding tremendous retail market value to the house. Add up the benefits, and it’s easy to see why InsulStar? is the high-performance insulation you’ve been looking for.
