Today's homeowners want a house that is energy-efficient, safe and easy to maintain.

THERMOMASS is all those things and more.

THERMOMASS means lower energy costs. Not only does an insulated sandwich wall keep the heat or cold from getting to your family inside your home, it also helps keeps them from reaching your energy bill.

Our composite connectors are so low in conductivity that there is virtually no energy transference from the outside. This translates into less temperature fluctuations inside so you can run your HVAC equipment less while still providing a comfortable environment.

Health experts now realize that mold and mildew is a serious health problem in our homes. These organisms thrive in the moist environments commonly found in basements and bathrooms.

Walls built using THERMOMASS inside help maintain acceptable moisture and temperature levels, even in basements. This helps impede mold and mildew growth within the home’s walls. As an added measure, the insulated wall mass contributes to superior sound dampening.

Concrete is relatively inexpensive and is one of the most durable and flexible construction materials available. Couple that with the added features and benefits of the THERMOMASS Building Insulation System, and you can keep your house construction well within budget.

In fact it’s a common misconception that block and brick or stick built construction methods are less expensive than using insulated concrete. When all factors are considered, there is no more economical way than sandwich wall construction and the THERMOMASS Building Insulation System.

Properly constructed homes built using THERMOMASS can offer superior performance under anticipated elements of nature, such as rodents, insects, fire, earthquakes, hurricanes and tornadoes. In fact, these homes can be expected to stand for years with no structural degradation

Thermographic imaging details the thermal loss that occurs through thermal bridges in poorly insulated walls (above left). It also illustrates the thermal efficiency of the wall panel when it has been constructed with edge-to-edge THERMOMASS insulation (above right).

The thermal mass effect is the result of high mass materials absorbing, storing, and releasing heat energy. 

For builders, this means that walls constructed from high mass materials such as adobe and concrete are well suited to the task of absorbing excess heat energy from areas where is not desirable, like in the occupied spaces of a building or the inside of a food storage warehouse.
