Economical and Effective
The life cycle costs of TerraStrong ccSPF make good economic sense and beat other options by a considerable margin. In military applications, TerraStrong ccSPF saves so much in energy, fuel, materials and man-hours, a TerraStrong project can pay for itself in as little as five weeks.
In desert heat, cold mountain environments or climates and temperatures in between, gerneral power requirements for cooling and heating military base structures are reduced by as much as 80%. TerraStrong solutions provide improved quality of life for soldiers.
Studies show that up to 40% of a building's energy inefficiency is due to heat loss, or gain, through walls, roofs and windows. TerraStrong ccSPF is the ideal material for roofing and wall systems because of its outstanding water resistance and ability to air-seal with an R-value of 6 per inch. This efficiency contributes to significant energy savings throughout the life of a building, while allowing for the use of smaller capacity cooling and heating equipment.
Conventional insulations have limited R-value because they use still air as an insulator.
Closed-cell spray polyurethane foam (ccSPF) insulation has superior thermal performance because still air is replaced with less thermally conductive gasses, like Honeywell Enovate® blowing agent.
