MEET THE HEAT
A quest to find warm places
1. AIRTIGHT SPRAY FOAM INSULATION
Manufacturer: BASF
Product Name: Walltite
Price Range: n/a
Material: Polyurethane (PUR) foam.
Key Facts: Speedy insulation solution coupled with a thermal conductivity as low as 0.025W/mK. The continuous spray leaves a minimal amount of surface area without insulation resulting in an airtight building envelope of low permeability. The purple foam is fast to apply and quick to cure. By virtually eliminating air leakage, WALLTITE with its closed cell structure helps control the movement of vapour and moisture throughout the building, reducing the risk of condensation and mould.
Applications: WALLTITE is designed for internal roofs, walls and floors, but can also be applied to floors, soffits and, with the minimal change in formulation, can be used for cavity wall insulation and stabilisation, or insulation and weatherproofing of external roofs.

Woah! I’m really loving the template/theme of this website. It’s simple,
yet effective. A lot of times it’s challenging to get that “perfect balance” between user friendliness and appearance. I must say that you’ve done a
amazing job with this. In addition, the blog loads extremely fast
for me on Opera. Outstanding Blog!
