Why Buy Storm Windows
...needing to replace your current windows. Storm windows not only enhance your personal environment, they also add new comfort and security to your home. What Improvements in the R-Factor Rating Can I Expect? "Windows are a primary source of heat loss because they are both a poor thermal barrier (R factor of only 0.89) and often a source of air infiltration. See #1.

AIR-SHIELD Moisture Barrier
...and infiltration, reducing condensation within the wall assembly and increasing efficiency of a building’s mechanical system. Wet insulating materials lose much of their R-factor performance characteristics, reducing the energy efficiency of the structure. W. R. MEADOWS thermal and moisture protection products play a key role in maintaining... See #2.

What Is Expanded Polystyrene?
...range of densities to yield the necessary properties to meet the highest insulation specifications at the lowest cost. RayLite (1.0 pcf) provides a typical R-value of 3.85 per inch (R-factor + 0.26) at a mean temperature of 75F (R = 4.17 per inch at 40F). Because of its cellular structure, the R-value of RayLite is permanent. It will operate... See #4.

Spray Foam Insulation, Custom Foam Packaging, Floral Applications
...possible to simply raise the surface temperature to a level that would be closer to ideal temperatures. Allow that layer to cure. Then add the desired thickness to achieve your R-factor. Surfaces that are too warm may result in the foam curing too fast. This would also result in a reduced yield because the foam would not have enough time... See #8.


Home Guard Entry Door Division
All Home Guard doors feature steel edge construction and are fully insulated in environmentally friendly polyurethane foam and offer a superior R-factor of 15.1 for the ultimate in energy conservation. Home Guard doors have no wood in them which eliminates the opportunity for them to swell, split, twist, ... See #9.

Low Density Spray Foam Systems, Low Density Spray Foam Insulation, RHH Foam Systems
Manufacturers of low density spray foam insulation systems in two sizes. This spray foam has 25% closed cell with a higher water absorption rate with an r-factor of 5 per inch. See #10.
