Big windows
Problem: Large expanses of glass don't keep out the winter cold and summer heat.

Solution: New, high-performance windows and Icynene^® soft foam insulation and air barrier material above and below for an air tight seal that effectively controls energy-robbing random air leakage, which can account for up to 40% of heat loss.  

Roof vents
Problem: A flat roof needs cross ventilation to prevent moisture build-up, but thick insulation gets in the way.

Solution: The Icynene^® soft foam insulation and air barrier material was applied to the underside of the roof deck and eliminated the need for venting because it prevents airborne moisture transfer to the roof from the living space.   

Cantilevered structures
Problem: Rooms that hang over open space are hard to support and have cold floors from air circulating underneath.

Solution: Beefed up headers, radiant floor heating, and Icynene^® insulation. The suspended floors are kept warm with Icynene^® because it provides an air tight seal with the floor above.  In this application, with increased header depths, traditionally fastened insulations regularly leave a gap where cold air can contact the floor.
