How P2000 Insulation Works

Insulation & Heat Loss

Insulation effectively reduces the rate of heat loss (winter) and heat gain (summer).
It is commonly believed a well-insulated wall must be a thick wall.
P2000 defies conventional thinking by delivering high performance insulation with a thin board product.

3 Types of Heat - 3 Types of Heat Loss/Gain

Conduction - transfer of heat through solids (heat on a warm floor).
Convection - transfer of heat through the air (hot air from a heat vent).
Radiation - transfer of energy (not heat) that becomes heat once absorbed by objects - (sunlight is radiant energy).

Radiant Heat

Radiant heat energy accounts for:
- 50 - 75% of building heat loss in the winter heating season.
- Up to 93% of heat gain in the summer (resulting in higher air conditioning costs).

But most insulations have little/no effect on radiant heat.

P2000 Insulation Effectiveness

Insulating Radiant Heat

Radiant energy can be controlled using radiant "blockers" - special materials that reflect radiant energy.

The P2000 Insulation System™ reflects up to 97% of radiant heat energy.

This means P2000 Insulation blocks the transfer of radiant heat energy - which significantly:.

What else makes The P2000 Insulation System™ so efficient?

P2000's special EPS foam core (similar to a foam cup) provides another level of insulation protection. Most of the energy that is not blocked by reflective laminates is absorbed by the foam core.
P2000 has a seaming system - providing double seal protection against wind, cold, and moisture.
P2000 is an insulator and vapor barrier in one.
P2000's foam core is virtually waterproof.
P2000 installs across walls - thus eliminating thermal bridging through wood / steel framing.
P2000 does not sag, settle, rot, gas-off, or absorb moisture (which can reduce insulation performance) in other insulation products.
