The U.S. Department of Energy reports that 40 percent of the energy cost of heating and cooling a building is wasted by uncontrolled air leakage, which also contributes to premature building deterioration, condensation, spalling, ice damming, poor indoor air quality and mold growth. An effective air barrier system substantially reduces both air leakage and the passage of moisture through the building envelope.
The COMFORT FOAM® system eliminates costly uncontrolled air leakage by contributing to a monolithic, air impermeable building envelope system. Our closed-cell technology is unique in the way that it allows design professionals and building owners to specify a material that is engineered to meet and exceed required performance criteria for every code and climate.
The COMFORT FOAM® system offers a closed-cell content of greater than 90 percent. By comparison, open-cell foams used for insulation have approximately 60 percent open-cell content and have far greater air and vapor transmission characteristics.
COMFORT FOAM® uses the versatility of polyurethane chemistry to combine a superior effective R-value with seamless, almost-zero air permeability for increased building energy efficiency, duability and occupant comfort, health and safety. |
