If you’re looking for ways to save money and energy this winter, now’s the time to call LiteForm Technologies to ask them about their High Density Rigid Polystyrene Insulation board.
LiteForm’s High Density Rigid Polystyrene Insulation Board can be applied to walls, floors and roofs, as well as under concrete slabs. LiteForm insulation board will seal air leaks and add R-value. Homeowners can use it for insulating pre-existing structures, such as the basement, garage and attic. Owners of newer homes with unfinished basement walls can easily finish them with these polystyrene insulation panels.
Homeowners can apply the insulating board themselves because it’s a do-it-yourselfer friendly product. All they have to do is carry it down the stairs, apply the adhesive or screw it to the wall, press into place, run electrical, and install drywall. The closed-cell polystyrene insulation is molded with a fastening strip that is ready to receive drywall or siding. It installs much faster than Z furring and rigid foam, wood stud construction and metal stud construction.
While insulating your home is just one great advantage to using high density polystyrene board, the other perfect complement is using it under concrete slabs such as driveways and sidewalks. The engineered insulation panels prevent heaving and cracks in concrete. In addition, they are inexpensive and long lasting, said Pat Boeshart, owner of LiteForm Technologies in South Sioux City.
“Many people are looking to LiteForm Technologies for a solution. These insulating boards are the perfect solution because of their simplicity, ease of use, material savings, and energy savings. Because we live in a cold part of the country, now is the ideal time to do some interior or exterior insulating,” Boeshart said. “Insulating saves money. People can feel good about using these high quality insulating products because they are made right here in Siouxland.”
David Hall at LiteForm Technologies said area contractors are pouring concrete on top of the 2-inch thick high density insulation board. Shallow frost protected footings and foundations are becoming the standard in colder areas of the country.
“In the wintertime, it’s common for driveways, sidewalks and patios to heave and crack. This insulating product used under the slab would eliminate frost heave. It’s one major advantage. Insulation for concrete can be applied to interior or exterior surfaces,” Hall said.
Manufactured at LiteForm Technologies in South Sioux City, Neb., the board is entirely insect and mold resistant. It will not rot, twist, warp, or decay.
LiteForm Technologies is a focused green building solution center. LiteForm works with area commercial roofing companies to intercept truckloads of roofing insulation from the landfill to grind up and mold back into new insulating products.
“We recycle all the foam we use and sell recycled insulation sheets. We are definitely on board with sustainable green building,” he said.
Because LiteForm manufactures the panels locally, they have them in stock. If homeowners need a custom thickness, LiteForm can cut the panels to any thickness or size within a couple of days, he said.
Other advantages of LiteForm insulating boards are a 30 percent tax credit up to $1,500, and a space saving design that will make every room a clean, energy efficient and healthy indoor living environment.
Whether you’re pouring concrete or insulating your home, you can find a workable, affordable solution working with the experts at LiteForm Technologies.
“We are offering people the opportunity to visit us and talk to our team about ways to save them time and money and energy this winter using high density insulating board manufactured locally,” he said.
