Insulation

Materials installed behind the 225-foot museum tower’s impressive granite façade include 130,000 square feet of continuous insulation.

Polyisocyanurate (polyiso) roof insulation stands as one of the most widely used insulation products for low-slope commercial roofing systems.

Walls influence more than structure and sound. They quietly shape how a building feels to the people who use it: how it sounds, how the air smells, how a child with asthma sleeps at night, how a worker feels finishing the day. Insulation is part of that story.

The design team selected an all-mass timber structure, paired with wood infill walls, and wood fiber insulation; an all-wood assembly, sequestering biogenic carbon, at Passive House level energy performance; one of the first of its kind.

ROCKWOOL has released a new forward-thinking technical bulletin to support general contractors, architects, and building professionals in designing the next generation of resilient data center facilities.

Modeling and evaluating envelope performance during the design phase can help identify potential issues early, while thoughtful material selection allows designers to balance performance, aesthetics, and long-term value.

Kingspan’s insulated metal panels (IMPs) were selected by Industrial Refrigeration & Design, Inc. as the building envelope to deliver the high level of thermal performance required for freezer and cooler applications.

Smartrock is available in thicknesses ranging from 2” to 6” to meet residential and commercial energy code requirements in all regions of the United States.

To eliminate the thermal bridge, the specification must introduce a thermal break between the existing structure and the new roof system. A Metal-over-Metal recover system achieves this through a three-component assembly: Flute-Fill Insulation, Tall Clips, and an Air Gap.
