Applying Insuladd® to cement block walls of identical duplexes
Download PDF
Indoors or outdoors, Insuladd® insulating paint products have
proven under scrutiny to increase the energy efficiency of homes and businesses
constructed of concrete. You can see through test results in the graph below,
Insuladd® makes a difference when mixed with paint applied to concrete. It drives
down temperatures inside a concrete building during the summer months. The difference
in temperature between concrete buildings without Insuladd® and those treated with
our paint additive can sometimes vary by up to 15 degrees Fahrenheit. Insuladd®
makes the environment in your home or office more comfortable and saves you money on
utility bills!
