  • A highly-insulated house was once a hallmark of high-end construction, but now every house must be carefully insulated to minimize heating and cooling costs. Upgrading insulation beyond the minimum standards increases comfort, reduces heating and air conditioning costs, and enables the use of smaller, less expensive furnaces, cooling equipment, and duct work.

Made from naturally mold-resistant inorganic fiberglass, the Spider Custom Insulation System is a formaldehyde-free, spray-in insulation that completely fills wall cavities, eliminating gaps and voids where energy can escape. Spider's thermal performance reaches R-values of R-15 in a 2x4 wall cavity and R-23 in a 2x6 wall cavity. The material sprays in practically dry, with a lower moisture content than dry wood, and dries completely in two to six hours, allowing drywall to be put up the same day.
