The world's safest, greenest insulation.
After years of research and development, airKrete®; was introduced to the U.S. market in 1987. It was the inspiration of a team of engineering, chemical and insulation specialists who were strongly committed to creating an environmentally-friendly, non-hazardous insulation product that could out perform alternatives on all fronts.
Having seen the health and safety risks associated with existing insulation products and practices at the time, the team realized that non-toxic compounds such as magnesium oxide and ceramic talc could be used to deliver better performance without the personal and environmental hazards. The result was an industry first: a CFC and formaldehyde-free product that was as easy to handle as shaving cream during installation and offered the consistency and stability of light-weight cement after curing. No petrochemicals or plastics - simply ingredients derived from nature.
Today airKrete®; is recognized and endorsed by many high profile industry leaders and associations – including Al Gore and the Audobon Society – as an environmentally sound insulation product. Users have come to appreciate the superior insulation properties, as well as the outstanding protection from toxin exposure, fire, insects, noise and the effects of handling hazardous waste. airKrete®; is also certified to the most stringent standards for insulation ratings, safety and fireproofing. It is recognized as being LEED-compliant, an integral requirement in today's environmentally-conscious community at large.
Since it was first introduced to market, airKrete®; has been successfully installed in thousands of retrofit and new building projects in the U.S. It was introduced into Canada more recently. Installations range from residential buildings and single family homes to commercial and industrial properties including hospitals and museums.
