Installing Infinite-R™ on the underside of rafters is an "all-weather" strategy that is a fantastic solution for any climate. When installed within an attic system, Infinite-R™ may act as a venting strategy to help better transfer of air coming in from eaves and escaping up through ridge vents for cooling of shingle roofs. In winter [...]
Using Infinite-R™ during the installation of a new metal roof, or roof replacement with metal roof provides a unique opportunity to store significant amounts of energy, and protect the comfort and environmental impact of the home for decades. By placing Infinite-R™ between the insulation system and the metal roof with an air gap between helps [...]
Using Infinite-R™ during the installation of a new metal roof, or roof replacement with metal roof provides a unique opportunity to store significant amounts of energy, and protect the comfort and environmental impact of the home for decades. Since metal roofs have such high conductivity for heat, this detail shows Infinite-R™ being installed at the [...]
Using Infinite-R™ phase change material during the installation of a new metal roof, or roof replacement with metal roof provides a unique opportunity to store significant amounts of energy, and protect the comfort and environmental impact of the home for decades. This detail should also be used in combination and consideration of detail #1 for [...]
There are few better places to install Infinite R™ if your project is in a cold/freezing climate than at the interior walls. When placed at the interior side of a wall assembly, Infinite R acts as like a thermal battery that is storing every ounce of energy that tries to escape or penetrate your building. In the winter months, [...]
If your location is a warm climate where winter months rarely go below freezing temperatures, then the warm climate attic installation is a perfect method of using Infinite R™ as a thermal barrier to combat the harsh high temperatures that are gained within the roof system, eventually penetrating the living space below. In summer months, [...]
If your location is a cold climate where winter months frequently experience sub-freezing temperatures, then the cold climate attic installation is a perfect method of using Infinite R™ as a thermal battery to store otherwise lost heat before it leaves your building. In summer months, the PCM placement helps shield the building from excessive heat [...]
There are few better places to install Infinite R™ if your project is in a warm or tropical climate than at the exterior walls. When placed at the exterior side of a wall assembly, Infinite R acts as like a thermal shield that is constantly helping your building behave as though it lives in a [...]
Shingle Roofs are particularly tricky to manage for heat gains, as overheating is not a desired condition for the asphalt based materials, shortening the life of the roof. Homes with shingle roofs can be particularly brutal in the summer months due to the high heat gain and thermal mass of the shingles (holding heat in [...]
