Insulation
for Every Need
Thermal
Solution
Weathershield, a specially manufactured insulation, refined
to develop maximum advantage of inherent physical properties.
Weathershield
is a loose-fill, fibrous insulation manufactured from selected
paper stock just like other everyday building materials such
as asphalt shingles, backer board, ceiling tiles and drywall
papers. Each bag of Weathershield displays Environment Canada's
ECOLOGO, classifying it as an "environmentally friendly"
product"
Weathershield
may be hand poured or pneumatically placed using a blowing machine
and delivery hose. Machine application ensures that the material
is properly conditioned, and placed at the required design density.
A
loose-fill, injected or spray applied thermal or acoustical
insulation. Loose-fill is appropriate for horizontal or moderately
sloped attics up to 4:12 pitch. Injection may be used to fill
areas such as flat or sloped ceilings and vertical walls. Spray
applied may be used in open stud cavities or steeply sloped
attic surfaces. Choose the most appropriate method of installation
to achieve the desired thermal and/or acoustical performance.
Used for new construction or retrofit.
Acoustical
Solution
Sound waves, like heat, always follows the path of least resistance.
If there are leaks in the acoustical insulation, then the wall
assembly will not provide a good sound barrier. Poor fitting
batt insulation can contribute to these sound leaks.
Weathershield
because of its dense fibers and ability to fill irregular cavities
has excellent sound attenuation properties.
