Lower heating/cooling costs

Comfort

Fireproof
As a cement-based product, airKrete is the only insulation that is 100% fireproof. Because it won't burn, it is an ideal insulation for high-density housing and high-value buildings (libraries, archives, art galleries, museums). Given that insulation is the single largest product in your home by volume, airKrete is a product that will help protect you and your family more than expect.
