The Perfect Insulation Solution For New Homes |
| No matter what the climate, COMFORT FOAM will work harder to save energy dollars and provide year round comfort |
| Did you know? |
Comfort Foam creates
a perfect fit between
materials to provide
your home with a fully
sealed, seamless
barrier against
unwanted air, and
moisture intrusion, for
the life of your home. |
|
A residential study by ADVANCED CERTIFIED THERMAGRAPHY shows that COMFORT FOAM installations can help reduce energy costs by as much as 60 percent each year compared with traditional insulation systems. Over 20 years, this can mean as much as $15,000 in savings at today’s energy costs. With escalating energy costs, realized savings may be even greater.
The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) reports that 40 percent of the energy cost of heating and cooling a building is wasted by uncontrolled air leakage, condensation, ice damming, poor indoor air quality (IAQ) and mold growth. An effective air barrier system substantially reduces air leakage and the passage of moisture through the building envelope.

Your home loses and gains heat in 3 ways:
Convection: warm air rising to the ceiling
Conduction: heat transferred from warms sections to cool sections in your home
Radiation: Heat transferred from the roof to the ceiling |

COMFORT FOAM completely and efficiently insulates and seals around penetrations through
the building framework, such as electrical outlets
and plumbing fixtures. |
Top and bottom sill plates, energy heels and
rim joists are sealed, along with other gaps
normally found in residential construction. |
Unlike other home insulations, the spray-applied seamless sealing quality of comfort foam polyurethane foam insulation system eliminates the air filtration problem.

| Upgrade to superior energy efficiency, noise reduction, and mold prevention |
Given the manner in which Spider insulation is installed, (sprayed prior to drywall installation)
This system is designed specifically for new home construction. |
 |
Spider Spray-In Insulation and the Spider Insulation Delivery System offer the industry's best coverage, fastest drying time and highest R-values.
Spider is lightweight fiberglass spray-in insulation bound together with a non-toxic, water-soluble adhesive that also binds to cavity surfaces for gap-free coverage. |

| Did you know? |
| Increasing insulation levels reduces our dependency on foreign oil supplies. |
|
|
| Did you know? |
| Insulation adds billions of dollars to the U.S. economy through energy savings. |
|
|
| Did you know? |
| Insulation has one of the highest returns of any product in a home. It generally pays for itself within 2 ½ years. After that, it is like getting a dividend check every time your utility bill comes. |

Now that you're ready to build
your dream home, did you know?
- New homes are an average of 26% larger than existing homes, meaning
more conditioned space, and in increased need for energy efficiency
- Proper insulation installation can help save you as much as 30% on
your energy bills
- Residential energy usage is projected to increase 10% by 2010
- The average cost to correct mold issues is $50,000 per home, and is
not typically covered by homeowner's insurance
Energy Efficiency
-
Spider fills all gaps and voids caused by setting and poor
installation, delivering maximum thermal performance and reduced air
movement
- Spider offers the highest R-value compared to other systems,
improving energy efficiency
Peace of Mind
-
Spider's low moisture content when installed reduces concern over
costly mold issues both during and after construction
- Fiberglass does not support mold growth and is naturally fire
resistant
- Offers superior sound control over other blown-in insulation
- Contractor certification program ensures proper installation
By using Spider instead of wet-spray cellulose, you reduce your cycle time and your operating costs. This allows you to speed up sequencing and finish insulating a typical home (2,700 sq.ft.) in one day compared to three days for cellulose.
- Full Coverage - fills cavities completely, reducing red tags and call-backs
- High Fill Rate - fills a regular (2X4X8) cavity in 10-20 seconds
- Fast Drying - dries in 2-8 hours, eliminating concerns about trapped
moisture in the wall cavity
- Mold Inhibitor - reduces concerns over mold and mildew growth in the
wall cavity
- Efficient - provides the highest coverage per bag compared to other
spray-in products

| FOAMED-IN-PLACE THERMAL AND ACOUSTICAL INSULATION |
RAPCO FOAM™ is the original foamed-in-place insulation manufactured in the United States, and has been manufactured here continuously since 1968. RAPCO FOAM™ is the most effective, easiest to install, most economical insulation available for concrete block walls and partitions. RAPCO FOAM™ also has a UL classification as a Class 1 building material.
 
RAPCO FOAM™ is ideal for commercial and industrial applications. Competitive pricing. Easy to apply. No settling nor expansion. Excellent sound reduction and safe for the environment. RAPCO FOAM™ is UL classified.
Rapco is a unique insulation material:
- light weight cellular plastic material
- foamed-in-place enabling it to fill any cavity, regardless of size or shape.
- foam flows into odd-shaped spaces, around wires, pipes, and other obstructions
- a highly effective thermal and acoustical barrier due to its cellular composition, high "R" value, ease of application and versatility
| Versatility. |
RAPCO FOAM™ can be installed during or after construction. Uniquely ideal for retrofit applications. |
| Efficiency. |
Immediately reduces energy costs and heating and cooling requirements while increasing comfort level. Will not settle or expand in cavity. |
| Ease of Installation. |
RAPCO FOAM™ is easily and quickly installed by professional, qualified installers. Eliminates the need of using other trades to install conventional insulation materials. |
| Cost Effective. |
Insulation should be considered an investment, rather than an expense. The initial cost of installing RAPCO FOAM™ is recovered by the reduction in energy consumption. After the "pay-back" period the savings are like dividends. When comparing installation cost per "R" value, RAPCO FOAM™ is typically less expensive than polyurethane, polystyrene and loose fill materials. |
| Limitations. |
The material should not be used where it will be subject to temperatures in excess of 210 degrees for prolonged periods. It is to be installed in closed cavities only and should not be used in cavities which will not permit adequate water vapor transmission during curing process. Foam not to be used as an underground vapor barrier, for ceiling applications or for flotation. |
