THE NEW ENERGY CODE IS ARRIVING! EXTERIOR FOUNDATION INSULATION IS PREFERRED, ARE YOU PREPARED?
Protecto-Coat XP, a patent pending system, offers year
round applications, durability that will stand up to weed whips
and a look that will enhance your homes appearance. The XP stands
for “Extra Protection,” protection from the elements and daily
abuses that cause other products to fail.
It is no secret that insulating the exterior of the foundation offers many benefits over an interior energy wall. Moisture control, condensation prevention and energy efficiency are just a few benefits you will receive by having Protecto-Coat XP installed as your exterior foundation insulation.The benefits from exterior insulation are numerous and scientifically proven. Even though the objections are few it has been enough to keep many contractors from making the change. The biggest concern has always been covering the above grade-exposed insulation.
When
you make the call to have Protecto-Coat XP installed as
an exterior insulation system you get much more than just insulation.
It is commonly agreed upon by waterproofing professionals that
quality waterproofing systems drain and protect. Insulation boards
offer just that. They protect the waterproofing membrane during
backfill and also drain water at a rate that will not allow hydrostatic
pressure to build on the foundation. Plus, they are backed with
long-term warranties from the world’s largest waterproofing manufacturer.
