Frequently Asked Questions

Why is P2000 such an efficient insulator
P2000’s superior performance is due to a combination of several factors including its ability to address all 3 modes of heat transfer, as well as overcoming installation deficiencies that reduce the effectiveness of standard R rated insulations.

What are P2000 Surface Burning Characteristics (ASTM E84)
P2000 has a Flame Spread Index (FSI) of 5 and Smoke Developed Index (SDI) of 25, when tested via ASTM-84 (surface characteristics of building materials). This qualifies it as a “Class A” building material

How does the P2000 Insulation System help address mold & mildew problems
P2000 absorbs virtually no moisture. It does not allow moisture to condense in walls and feed mold and mildew problems.

Does Fiberglass Insulation lose R-Value when compressed in a Wall Cavity?
The R-Value of Fiberglass insulation decreases as the material is compressed.

Is it Important to Consider Thermal Bridging
A Thermal Bridge is a component or a system of components in a building envelope through which heat is transferred at a substantially higher rate than through the surrounding envelope area.
