- The Evolution of Building Protection Posted on October 23, 2024 Since prehistoric times, humans have sought to protect our homes and gathering places better. Comfort was the primary driver, so our early ancestors created thermal insulation with readily available materials such as animal fur and plants. Over time, earth, mud and stone were used. Eventually, the Greeks would invent insulation similar to what we use today.
- Thermal + Moisture Control in Modern Construction Posted on October 23, 2024 It wasn’t so long ago that we believed insulation alone could protect a building from all the damaging elements outside. But after decades of costly repairs due to water intrusion, mold and mildew, and corroded structural component repairs, along with advances in building science, we learned there’s more to effective thermal and moisture control - a lot more.
- GPS Insulation: Leaner and Greener Posted on September 05, 2024 Insulation Evolved So, what exactly is GPS? GPS (graphite polystyrene) is a ridge thermal insulation material. The primary difference between GPS and traditional insulation products is that GPS insulating boards are thinner. In fact, they are up to 20% thinner than other rigid insulation boards.
- Listen to Jamie Wright on The Hammer Podcast Posted on July 15, 2024 Ceiling systems have come a long way from basic white grids and tiles. No longer flat and forgettable, modern ceiling designs not only enhance aesthetics but can impact health and safety concerns.
- Lightweight Facade Options Posted on July 12, 2024 Traditional Facade options such as stucco, brick, fiber cement, and stucco have been used for exterior insulation and finishing for years. Although they present diverse design capabilities, the weight of these materials either takes a toll on the building structures or is limited by easy wear and tear.
