Insulation
Dow Building Solutions is a leader in the building industry and is committed to ongoing development of differentiated, integrated solutions-based building products that address such critical issues as energy efficiency, moisture management, and overall performance. We offer a full range of Styrofoam™ extruded polystyrene insulation products including Styrofoam™ SM, Styrospan™, Styrofoam™ Cladmate™, Styrofoam™ Cladmate™ XL, Styrofoam™ Wallmate™, Styrofoam™ Perimate, and Styrofoam™ Brand Buoyancy Billets. Styrofoam™ brand extruded polystyrene insulation is rigid, durable, and moisture-resistant, and maintains its R-value. In addition, Styrofoam™ extruded polystyrene insulation covers the entire wall, including the studs, providing a continuous layer of thermal protection and increasing overall energy efficiency.
Dow Building Solutions' Weathermate™ Plus Housewrap, is a non-woven, non-perforated polyolefin-based wrap that helps protect walls from bulk water and air infiltration. It reduces the potential for bulk water infiltration while enabling water vapor to escape from behind the housewrap to the exterior. It's durable and tear-resistant and is translucent to allow clear view of the application surface – and can remain uncovered for up to 60 days.
CertainTeed offers a comprehensive line of time-tested, trusted and efficient fibre glass insulation products. Fibre glass batts and blow-in insulation provide excellent thermal and acoustical performance that won’t absorb moisture or settle over time. CertainTeed, the inventors of premium fibre glass blowing insulation, now has three great choices: OPTIMA® system for closed cavities, Northern White, and InsulSafe®, North America’s leading brand, for attics. Innovation continues with MemBrain™, The Smart Vapour and Air Barrier Film. It is a smart alternative to poly sheeting that reduces the risk of structural damage or health issues due to mould and mildew. Use as an interior air barrier system or as a traditional vapour barrier (CCMC Report #13278-R). CertainTeed has helped shape the building products industry for more than 100 years. Founded in 1904 as General Roofing Manufacturing Company, the firm’s slogan "Quality Made Certain, Satisfaction Guaranteed," quickly inspired the name CertainTeed. Today, CertainTeed is North America’s leading brand of exterior and interior building products.

In today’s climate of soaring energy costs and a renewed awareness for environmental conservation, the building industry is striving to improve the buildings we occupy. IKO’s Enerfoil polyisocyanurate insulation boasts the highest insulating value per inch of thickness of any manufactured insulation available – making it ideal to create more thermally efficient buildings. Improving wall designs and their performance by integrating IKO’s high performance insulation systems helps achieve the energy efficiency we all desire. When joined together on a building’s exterior using IKO’s taping methods, the exterior becomes an air barrier, a vapor barrier and an insulation – all in one product.
