ThermoForm is a field proven, advanced insulation possessing lasting thermal
performance, unique cavity conforming characteristics and reassuring safety
properties. ThermoForm is formulated from a blend of cellulose fibers and treated
for fire resistancy. With a self-contained adhesive, ThermoForm is specifically
designed to completely occupy and insulate wall and attic voids by forming a
unique structure-conforming seamless blanket that significantly reduces sound
transmission and virtually eliminates air infiltration.
ThermoForm Blocks Air Infiltration
Generally, high R-values equate to favorable insulation performance, but an
insulation’s "Performance R" value can be drastically reduced
by air infiltration. Air infiltration is the costly, uncontrolled leakage of
air penetrating both into and out of a structure, unnecessarily inflating both
heating and cooling costs. The spray-applied, seamless ThermoForm blanket instantly
resolves the problem of air infiltration as it blocks this uncontrolled leakage
by wrapping the structure in a protective insulating envelope.
ThermoForm Controls Sound Transmission
ThermoForm is a field proven, noise control insulation, absorbing substantial
levels of unwanted sound. A great deal of acoustic energy is transmitted through
small gaps and voids in walls and floor/ceiling assemblies. The sprayed-in-place
ThermoForm blanket creates a sound-deadening wall as it seals off potential
sound transmission openings. And, ThermoForm’s natural high density provides
an excellent STC rating. STC (sound transmission class) is a measure in decibels
of the reduction in sound as it passes through a wall assembly. Higher STC values
equate to less noise transmitted through the wall. A decibel (dB) is the unit
measure of sound level or intensity.
ThermoForm Controls Heat Loss/Gain
TherrnoForm possesses greater density when compared to fiberglass batts and
therefore has the ability to virtually eliminate air infiltration. Studies show
that an improperly installed fiberglass batt with as little as a 4% void area
translates into as much as a 50% increase in heat loss/gain through air infiltration
and subsequent excessive energy expenditures. In contrast, the ThermoForm blanket
for walls and ceilings completely fills all voids and seals around conduit,
ducts, and electrical boxes, eliminating these energy loss channels. This equates
to substantial energy savings.
