|
 |
MemBrain™:
The SMART Vapor Retarder
Basic Use: CertainTeed MemBrain™ SMART
Vapor Retarder is a vapor retarder sheeting intended for use
with unfaced, vapor permeable mass insulation (fiber glass
and mineral wool) in wall and ceiling cavities.
Benefits: MemBrain™ SMART Vapor Retarder
is a |
|
polyamide film
that changes its permeability with the ambient humidity condition.
The product’s permeance is 1 perm or less when tested
in accordance with ASTM E 96, dry cup method, and increases
to greater than 10 perms using the wet cup method. This process
allows closed building envelope systems to increase their
drying potential with seasonal climatic changes. With a high
resistance to water vapor in winter, MemBrain reacts to relative
humidity by altering pore size, allowing water vapor to pass
through it. When conditions change and relative humidity increases
above 60%, the pores in the material expand and its permeability
increases. This transformation permits drying to occur, in
either direction, through the process of vapor diffusion.
Thus, its lowered resistance value supports the drying process,
therefore decreasing moisture accumulation within the construction
and potential moisture damage.
This product can be used in place of traditional vapor retarders
with unfaced fiber glass insulation to provide an insulation
system that is ideal in some of the more severe climate condition
areas in terms of both temperature and humidity. |

SpeedyR™
Tabless Batts
Basic Use: This product is intended for
use in either residential or commercial construction as thermal
and acoustical insulation in walls. These batts are designed
for use in standard width wood framed construction where a
vapor retarder is needed. The batts have kraft-paper facing
without flanges and can be friction-fit between wall studs
for non-exposed applications. |
|
Benefits: Installing
SpeedyR™ Tabless Batts is an easy, cost effective method
to help conserve energy in the residential and commercial
new construction, remodeling, and reinsulation markets. In
addition to its thermal properties, this product also provides
excellent acoustical performance. Installing this product
will save time and improve productivity by reducing field
labor as stapling is not required because the fiber glass
fills the entire cavity. SpeedyR Tabless Batts will not settle
or sag. |
|
 |
DryRightTM
Fiber Glass Insulation
Moisture that becomes trapped in wall cavities can
lead to mold growth and related problems – including
structural damage, callbacks and liability issues. DryRightTM
insulation from CertainTeed helps reduce the presence of one
of the key components for mold and mildew growth – moisture
– by allowing excess moisture in wall cavities to escape. |
|
DryRight, available in both batts and rolls, utilizes a unique
technology that helps to control excess moisture. When installed
properly, DryRight helps wall cavities to stay dry and mold-free
– helping you to avoid unhappy customers. |
|
 |
EZR
Fiber Glass Building Insulation
Basic Use: EZR fiber glass building insulation
is intended for use in either residential or commercial construction
as thermal and acoustical insulation in walls. These perforated
mini-rolls are designed for use in standard width wood framed
construction where a vapor retarder is needed. The rolls have
a tabless kraft facing on one side and a non-woven fabric
on the other. |
|
Benefits: EZR is an enhanced
fiber glass insulation product that is easier to use than
traditional kraft-faced products. These perforated mini-rolls
are ¼" wider providing for a friction-fit staple
free installation, saving time and money. Due to the non-woven
facing, this product cuts easier, and produces less dust and
itch during installation, making it easier to work with. In
addition to these features, the rolls are perforated every
93" so they can easily be installed as a batt. |

What
are Seamless Gutters? |
|
Continuous
Rain Guttering, Also known as Seamless Guttering "Seamless
Gutters" is nationally recognized as the most popular
form of guttering. Seventy-five percent of all guttering installed
throughout the nation is continuous. Its popularity is easily
understood because... |
|
- Continuous
Rain Guttering, Seamless Guttering, eliminates unsightly
seams.
- Reduces
the possibility of leaks.
- Baked
on enamel finish never needs painting.
- Protects
the beauty of your home and landscaping.
- Formed
on the job site for exact measurements.
- Most
jobs are completed in one day.
- Many
colors from which to choose from.
|
|
The
Purpose of Guttering Systems... |
|
The
purpose of guttering systems is to collect water (rain) from
the roofing area and disperse the water away from your home.
Properly configured downspouts (leaders, drain pipes) are
very essential.
A faulty guttering system can contribute to damage to Soffit
& Fascia, Shingles, Building Foundations, Driveways, Walkways,
Landscaping.
Guttering systems require maintenance to insure protection
for your home. Make sure your gutters are free from debris,
leaves, granules from shingles, birds nest. The extreme exposure
to nature can also cause sealant failures. Snow & Ice
can loosen fasteners and should be repaired immediately to
prevent costly repairs.
(We always recommend a professional for maintaining your Guttering
System) |
|
Types
of Seamless Gutters... |
|
There
are many different gutter materials to choose from, including
steel, aluminum, vinyl, copper. Many types of gutters (steel
and vinyl in particular) are sold in 10’ lengths and
require dozens of seams fastened with slip fittings, each
one is a weak spot and a potential leak site. Another alternative
well worth considering is the installation of seamless aluminum
gutters. Seamless gutters must be fabricated on-site by a
professional contractor.
The term seamless gutters can be confusing because there are
seams in the system. The seams are only at the corners and
downspout outlets.These joints are fastened more securely
and sealed for stability and leak resistance. The Seamless
Gutter itself is continuous which makes them both strong and
visually more appealing. |
|
 |
|
When
it comes to rainware, seamless gutters and gutter protection
systems, nobody does it better. The first to sell seamless
gutter machines, painted coil stock and other gutter accessories
to independent contractors, Englert has been the dominant
name in seamless gutters for almost 40 years.
Aluminum, Galvalume® and galvanized coils are available
in a wide array of colors with both sides painted in different
colors to reduce a gutter contractor's inventory. Englert
offers a full service/single source opportunity to our gutter
contractors, including gutter machine technicians, parts,
technical support and on-site repairs. |

Ottawa
Fibre Inc. (OFI) is the founding member of the OFI Group of
companies. Conceived of in 1976 and up and running by 1980,
OFI began manufacturing commercial insulation products. In
1983, OFI began manufacturing residential "batt"
insulation for the Canadian market. |

- There
are two ways to approach insulating your attic.
- The
first is to have a contractor blow fibreglass insulation
into the attic after both vapour barrier and attic airflow
vents have been installed.
- The
second way is to insulate the attic with batts. If you
choose the second way, be certain to choose the correct
thickness of batts to place in between the joists.
- READ
THE SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS LOCATED ON EACH PACKAGE OF OFI
RESIDENTIAL FIBRE GLASS INSULATION.

|
- Cover
the concrete foundation wall with a moisture barrier such
as black asphalt impregnated building paper. Erect a wood
or steel stud wall.
- The
black asphalt impregnated building paper will drain any
moisture and direct it downwards instead of getting the
insulation wet and reducing its insulating power.
- Use
an R8 or an R12 batt and insulate between the studs, from
the top of the wall to 18 inches above the floor. (Check
local buildings codes - this distance may differ).
- Cover
the insulation and studs with a vapour barrier.
- Apply
a finish of your choice.
|
|
- You
can either insulate the entire garage as some people do
or you can insulate only the garage wall, which is shared
with the main house.
- Which
ever you choose, remember not to put a vapour barrier
on the shared wall, since it is already on the warm side
of the wall, the side in the house. If you plan to heat
your garage, then put a barrier on the inside of all the
other walls that are not shared with the main house.
|
|
 |
|
- If
you are building a new home you are in a perfect position
to plan exactly how you will insulate it to the max! Of
course, if you're new home is built with 2x4's, your regular
insulation will be R12 batts, but you can upgrade the
job with R13 or even R14, which are designed to fit in
the same depth of wall. If you are building with 2x6 wood
studs, we recommend R22 batts.
- Upgrading
can potentially save you money on the energy side as well
as offering more sound absorption.
- If
you decide to use higher r-value products instead of standard
r-values, call your dealer in advance so that he can order
them for you.
