- [Why Exterior Insulation Matters In Every Climate](https://quiktherm.com/why-exterior-insulation-matters-in-every-climate/): When designing high-performance buildings in the Canadian Prairies - or anywhere in North America - the conversation often starts with R-values. But in reality, how insulation is installed is just as important as how much is installed.
- [How To Reduce Labour Time When Installing Insulation In Large Commercial Buildings](https://quiktherm.com/how-to-reduce-labour-time-when-installing-inslulation/): Reducing labour time in commercial buildings is one of the fastest and most impactful ways to lower project costs, accelerate schedules, and improve overall job-site performance. When it comes to installing roof insulation and wall insulation in large commercial applications, traditional methods can be incredibly time-consuming. Multiple layers, dozens of components, and complex fastening patterns often slow crews down and add unnecessary expense.
- [Comparing The Quik-Therm Matrix System To Spray Foam Insulation For Commercial Buildings](https://quiktherm.com/comparing-quik-therm-to-spray-foam-insulation-for-commercial-buildings/): As building codes continue to push for greater energy efficiency, designers and contractors in commercial and industrial buildings are increasingly asked to incorporate thick layers of continuous exterior insulation. For many years, spray foam insulation - specifically spray polyurethane foam (SPF) - has been promoted as a high-performance option due to its high R-value and air-sealing properties. However, when SPF is used on the exterior of a building, a series of costs, installation, and weather-related challenges often arise.
- [Which Insulation Brands Are Easiest To Stock And Transport?](https://quiktherm.com/which-insulation-brands-are-easiest-to-stock-and-transport/): In today’s construction and retrofit markets, contractors, builders, and distributors are placing greater emphasis not only on thermal performance but also on stocking efficiency, transport logistics, and overall supply-chain reliability. When choosing an insulation material, most brands focus on thermal conductivity, R-value, and general durability. However, few consider the real day-to-day challenges faced on job sites: Handling, storing, moving, and installing insulation in a way that minimizes labour, waste, and complexity.

- [The Detrimental Effects of Thermal Bridging: It’s All About the Physics. Part 2](https://quiktherm.com/thermal-bridging-effects/): The following test method relies on simple physics to illustrate how two completely different insulation systems - rigid Mineral Wool (MW) with a continuous steel girt (MWZ) and Vented & Perforated EPS Air Dry Connect (ADC) perform/insulate, comparatively during a hot summer week in Winnipeg.
- [How Insulation Works – And Doesn’t. It’s All About the Physics. Part 1](https://quiktherm.com/how-insulation-works/): Over the past 14 years I have been fortunate to work with some of the finest building science organizations. As a student of building science I’ve been able to design and develop several multi-functional insulation technologies - proven to show sustainability and efficiency advantages versus conventional insulation products. These designs are based on two simple thermodynamics(1) (physics) principles:
- [Winnipeg Design Company Launches New Matrix Composite Roofing Insulation System](https://quiktherm.com/winnipeg-design-company-launches-new-matrix-composite-roofing-insulation-system/): WINNIPEG, Canada - Quik-Therm, a locally owned and operated development and design company based in Winnipeg, Canada, is proud to announce the launch of its innovative and technologically advanced roofing insulation system.
- [Self Drying Non-Vented Hot Roofs – What’s the Best Hot Roof Design?](https://quiktherm.com/self-drying-non-vented-hot-roofs-whats-the-best-design/): An insulated hot, unvented roof system is an assembly that incorporates all of it’s thermal performance (insulation) above the roof deck. Residential or commercial insulated roof assembly with insulation above the roof deck and some within the cavity below, is a split roof - just like a wall with fiber batt insulation in the cavity and rigid insulation on the outside is referred to as a split wall or hybrid wall. Split roof systems; commercial or residential are fussy to design and construct. The science is clear. Once batt insulation is incorporated in the cavity below the roof deck, condensation occurring between the two layers of insulation is all but inevitable. That is, unless the ratio is 2/3 to 1/3 in favor of insulation on top of the roof deck. Example: R-20 rigid insulation on top - R-10 batt in the cavity. That said; why not add an extra R-10 on the roof top and leave the cavity empty? Its simpler, faster, cheaper and proven by science to be a superior roof design.
- [What is the Best Method for Insulating Commercial Metal Roofs in Canada?](https://quiktherm.com/best-method-for-insulating-commercial-metal-roofs-in-canada/): When it comes to designing commercial insulated metal roofing systems for non-vented cathedral style, mono-slope and steel framed roofs in Canada, the first thing most Designers and Building Owners consider, is; - what’s the R-value of the insulation product? Obviously, considering Canada’s cold winters, high insulation R-values for commercial roof assemblies equate to better thermal performance and comfort. It’s logical to assume that if one insulation product has an R-value of 5 per inch and another has an R-value of 4 per inch; the commercial roof with insulation (R-5 insulation) should provide better thermal performance than the roof with R-4. Simple math supports that conclusion. 6 inches x R-5 per inch = R-30. 6 inches x R-4 = R-24. If R-value was the only factor when it comes to the overall effective thermal performance of commercial rigid foam board roofing insulation systems, simple math would be all that is required to determine its thermal performance - but that’s not how it works. Thermodynamics is not simple; its complicated. There’s a whole lot more to effective thermal performance of a commercial metal insulated roof than just the R-value of the insulation product by itself.
- [Thermal Bridge Free Insulation System](https://quiktherm.com/thermal-bridge-free-insulation-system/): Metal roofing is my favorite type of roof cladding - it has many benefits. A properly installed, metal roof lasts 40 to 70 years. The lifespan of a metal roof is roughly three times that of a typical asphalt roof. Most importantly, over their life cycle, metal roofs require very little or no maintenance at all. Metal roofs are lightweight, resilient and noncombustible; most often having a Class A fire rating. Metal roofing is capable of withstanding hurricane winds - as well, metal roofs shed water and snow better than conventional asphalt roofing. Metal roofs are mold, mildew, rot and insect resistant.
- [Investing in Energy Efficiency Up-Front Leads to Substantial Return on Investment](https://quiktherm.com/investing-in-energy-efficiency-up-front-leads-to-substantial-return-on-investment/): Most home buyers believe Passive House and other super energy-efficient homes and buildings are unaffordable. This is because they are primarily focusing on the additional up-front capital cost and the effect it will have on their monthly mortgage payment. What they are not considering are all the positive effects Passive House has on long term energy savings, reduced maintenance costs, the return on investment (ROI) (1) at the time of re-sale and, of course, climate change.
- [Mineral Wool Insulation is Not Green, Sustainable or Environmentally Friendly](https://quiktherm.com/mineral-wool-insulation-is-not-green-sustainable-or-environmentally-friendly/): White paper published in June 2019
- [Rigid Insulation: Extruded Polystyrene Foam](https://quiktherm.com/rigid-insulation/): However, unless you require the air space created between the rigid foam insulation and sheathing or cladding, strapping is a waste of time, space and money. Consider this seemingly inconsequential detail. Strapping such as 1x3 spruce requires a pilot hole to prevent splitting. Doesn’t seem like a big deal, but multiply a few seconds by thousands of pilot holes. It’s not just a few seconds or minutes; it’s a few wasted hours.
- [B.C.’s Step Code helps drive $3.3-billion energy-efficiency market](https://quiktherm.com/b-c-s-step-code-helps-drive-3-3-billion-energy-efficiency-market/): The British Columbia Energy Step Code represent an important milestone for energy efficient buildings and climate leadership in British Columbia. They are excellent examples of collaboration between the Province, local governments, the construction industry, professional associations, energy utilities, and other stakeholders.
- [Sustainable Hybrid/Split Walls – Understanding the Science](https://quiktherm.com/sustainable-hybrid-split-walls-understanding-the-science/): MOISTURE MANAGEMENT is the single most important factor in the design and construction of sustainable buildings. 90% of all building construction problems are associated with water. The structural integrity of walls and roofs is at stake - as is the health of the occupants. Billions of dollars are spent annually on litigation related to moisture related problems.
- [Insulating Basement Walls in Canada](https://quiktherm.com/insulating-basement-walls-in-canada/): Fibreglass batts, poly and wood studs are still the most common method of insulating basement walls in Canada - but it’s definitely not the most effective way to insulate the interior side of basement walls. Just like a blotter, batt insulation products absorb and hold moisture, which in turn provides the perfect environment for mould growth. Not only is batt insulation a health hazard when installed in basements, it’s a lousy insulator when it absorbs moisture. The government of Canada claims it’s debatable whether fibreglass insulation has any insulating ability at all when it gets wet.
- [Building Energy Efficient Doesn’t Cost – It PAYS!](https://quiktherm.com/building-green-doesnt-cost-it-pays/): The environmental benefits of Passive and Net Zero buildings are numerous. These buildings promote and protect ecosystems, improve indoor air quality and conserve natural resources. When compared with conventionally-constructed buildings, energy efficient buildings consume 26 percent less energy, cost 13 percent less to maintain, have 27 percent higher occupant satisfaction and produce 33 percent less greenhouse gas emissions. Natural lighting and improved ventilation positively influence the health of occupants. They are less often sick, and far more productive.
- [Compare Quik-Therm Solar Dry to Exterior Mineral Wool](https://quiktherm.com/compare-quik-therm-solar-dry-to-exterior-mineral-wool/): Quik-Therm Solar Dry outperforms Mineral Wool. It costs less - is faster and easier to install and the manufacturing process has a minimal environmental impact and there are no significant health risks. Solar Dry has a higher effective R-value than Mineral Wool.
- [Hybrid Walls – Understanding the Science](https://quiktherm.com/hybrid-walls-understanding-the-science/): Thermodynamics 101: Warm air migrates to cold air. High pressure migrates to low pressure. High moisture migrates to low moisture. Gravity and air promote drainage and drying. Solar Dry is a science based insulation technology based on Thermodynamics. Results of studies by RDH Building Science Laboratories, Morrison Hershfield, Built Environments and Intertek/ATI were instrumental in the design and development of SDI.
- [Is Drainable Wrap Enough?](https://quiktherm.com/is-drainable-wrap-enough/): Providing airflow and drainage behind cladding is the best way to manage moisture in exterior walls. Drainable (bumpy) wraps between the siding and substrate is superior to siding installed tight to smooth building wrap - but is it adequate?
- [Understanding the Difference Between Permeance vs Permeability](https://quiktherm.com/understanding-the-difference-between-permeance-vs-permeability/): Water Vapour Permeance is the time it takes water vapour to transmit through a unit area of material that has a vapour pressure difference between the two exposed surfaces of the material. Solar Dry Insulation (EPS core) is moderately hygroscopic which means it will take on water vapour from its ambient environment and pass it on. So, a slab of Solar Dry subject to a vapor pressure gradient will exhibit the same permeability regardless of thickness. Making Solar Dry thicker does not change the rate of flow - it simply increases the distance water vapor can travel into the EPS core.
- [Mineral Wool Health Concerns are Growing](https://quiktherm.com/mineral-wool-health-concerns-are-growing/): Concerns have been growing about the health risks of mineral wool (also known as Man-made Vitreous Fibres (MMVF)). A report was published last year that summarised these concerns in terms of health risks to homeowners and those working to install, remove or dispose of mineral wool as an insulation material from homes. Protests in the US and France over new mineral wool plants drew attention to even more risks, this time associated with the health hazards for those living near to mineral wool factories. What is this material and what are the risks?
- [Energy efficiency during the holidays](https://quiktherm.com/energy-efficiency-during-the-holidays/): Quik-Therm is passionate about improving the energy efficiency of the buildings where we live and work. It is one of the reasons why we work very hard at developing and selling our line of superior insulation products, like Quik-Therm CIS for basements. During the holiday season, with its lights, baking, and entertaining, families use a lot of energy. In the spirit of promoting energy efficiency, we have done some reading and offer below a few tips on how your family can lower its energy consumption during the holidays.
- [The Best Trade Show Yet](https://quiktherm.com/the-best-trade-show-yet/): Quik-Therm has been an exhibitor at Buildex Vancouver for the past few years.  We really don't spend much money on conventional advertising, and opt to invest where we have more direct contact with our prospects and clients.  Since our products aren't just commodities, sometimes it takes a bit more understanding and education to explain how our products are used in construction.  There are a variety of different benefits, applications, cost savings, and building science behind the innovations of Quik-Therm products.  Much of this is difficult to convey in, for example, a magazine advertisement.  Instead, we choose to talk one on one directly with those involved with insulation.  Trade shows have consistently been a way we like to connect with people.
- [Vapour Barriers](https://quiktherm.com/vapour-barriers/): The most misunderstood building science topic is the requirement of a poly vapour barrier on the interior side of framed wall assemblies. Top building experts agree, careful air sealing, not vapour barriers are the key to keeping moisture out of wall cavities. Air movement accounts for more than 98% of all water vapor movement in building cavities.
- [Passive House – The Way of the Future](https://quiktherm.com/passive-house-the-way-of-the-future/): Passive House is one of the most stringent energy efficiency certifications for buildings.  There are a multitude of factors that affect the building's performance, however certification boils down to essentially two aspects.  Energy usage is one of them. The building must use less than a certain amount of energy relative to the footprint (15 kWh/m2a).  It must also meet a certain level of air tightness (0.6 ACH).  How you achieve these targets is almost irrelevant - as long as you hit them.  In the end, Passive Homes end up using roughly 75-90% less energy than conventional homes. Passive house U values range from 0.10 to 0.15 W/(m²K). The R value for walls in passive house can differ from region to region, but normally passive house R value is R 30-50
- [Do You Have Cold Feet? – Quik-Therm Warm Floor Insulation](https://quiktherm.com/do-you-have-cold-feet-quik-therm-warm-floor-insulation/): Have you ever been in a really nice house where you wished you wore slippers in the basement?  It seems a little outrageous doesn’t it?  Why in the world would you want to invest money into creating a new living space and potentially doubling your square footage, but have it uncomfortable?
- [The Multi-Purpose Connect](https://quiktherm.com/the-multi-purpose-connect/): Some of the best inventions are the simplest.  When certain new products enter the marketplace, they seem like an obvious concept - after the fact.  I am sure a lot of people catch themselves thinking, 'why didn't I think about that?'
- [Connect Saves 3 Weeks Labour](https://quiktherm.com/connect-saves-3-weeks-labour/): One of the many things I like about Quik-Therm products is just how versatile they are.  Some builders/architects/others in the industry assume that our products are only for residential, or only renovation, or some other classification.  Truth is Quik-Therm products can be used in any construction project. Whether it is stock residential homes, multi-million dollar custom homes, commercial, institutional, warehouse, or any other project - be it new or renovation - Quik-Therm products have a place.  While some of the products are more innovative and easier integrated during the design phase, keep in mind the Multi-Purpose Insulation can be used wherever rigid insulation is called for.   It saves both material and labour costs over the conventional blue/pink board.
- [Paradise Estates Insulates with Connect](https://quiktherm.com/paradise-estates-insulates-with-connect/): Paradise Estates is located in West Kelowna, BC, and will consist of 21 multi-million dollar homes.  While being situated on the beachfront of Okanagan Lake, the gated community includes amenities such as a swimming pool with waterslide, putting green, outdoor fireplace, and an entertainment area.  Each home will have its own elevator with access to the rooftop patio including a hot tub, high end appliances, luxurious finishes and interior detailing, wireless sound system, and (my personal favourite) a large temperature controlled wine room - a showpiece unto itself.
- [“Home of Tomorrow” Video Promo](https://quiktherm.com/home-of-tomorrow-video-promo/): Wilden's "Home of Tomorrow" has completed installing Quik-Therm Connect, and is now ready for cladding.  During the process, Wilden asked Derek Snitynsky and Raymond Belanger from Quik-Therm to talk about the product, the project, and the current state of building.  Take a look at the following video, with the transcript below.
- [‘Home of Tomorrow’ chooses Quik-Therm Insulation](https://quiktherm.com/home-of-tomorrow-chooses-quik-therm-insulation/): Kelowna, BC is the home of the "Wilden Living Lab," whereby two homes will be constructed side by side and monitored for the next three years.  One will be the Home of Today, being built to minimum current code requirements, while the other Home of Tomorrow will incorporate additional energy efficient features. The homes are being built under the guidance of Authentech Homes, with the majority of the hands on work done by Okanagan College students in the residential construction program.  Both homes will incorporate a variety of sensors, so that students from UBC Okanagan can monitor and compare the actual energy consumption between the 'Today' and 'Tomorrow' homes.
- [The Common “Cents” of Sutstainable Buildings](https://quiktherm.com/the-common-of-building-green/): This makes good sense as these buildings are more “environmentally-responsible”, provide greater comfort, save occupants money, and have higher resale values when compared to conventional construction. The environmental benefits of sustainable/green homes and buildings are numerous.  Sustainable buildings improve indoor air quality, preserve and protect our ecosystems and conserve natural resources. When compared with conventional construction,  green homes and buildings use approximately 26% less energy, cost 13% less to maintain, have a 27% higher occupant rate of satisfaction and produce 33% fewer greenhouse gas emissions. Natural lighting and improved ventilation positively influence the health of people. The occupants of green buildings are less often sick and more productive.
- [The R-value Fallacy](https://quiktherm.com/the-r-value-fallacy/): ​In laymen’s terms, R-value is the measurement of how well a product insulates.  To explain why traditional fiberglass insulation doesn’t perform well in basement wall assemblies we need to understand the difference between “Nominal” R-values and “Effective” R-values.
- [Best Way to Insulate Existing Basement Floors](https://quiktherm.com/best-way-to-insulate-existing-basement-floors/): Let's face it, insulating on top of existing concrete floors is an after thought. If we knew then, what we know now, we would have installed insulation under the concrete before it was poured. So the question is; after the fact what is the best way to insulate the top side of existing concrete and basement floors? The answer is; it depends on the condition of the floor. Is the floor dry, that's a good thing. Is it damp, or worse yet, is it wet? Is the floor level or uneven? Whats the ceiling height and what is the basement to be used for; added living space or storage? If the concrete floor is dry and reasonably level, insulate directly on top with a rigid foam insulation that is impervious to moisture, air leakage and radon gas.
- [High Quality Building Insulation: An effective way to help reduce Canada’s greenhouse gas emissions](https://quiktherm.com/high-quality-home-insulation-an-effective-way-to-help-reduce-canadas-greenhouse-gas-emissions/): While the International Conference on Climate Change has come and gone (Paris Climate Summit), we at Quik-Therm wanted to bring to the attention of our readers a highlight from a recent CBC news report (http://www.cbc.ca/news/politics/justin-trudeau-environment-minister-uphill-battle-1.3302710).
- [There Is Only ONE Right Way to Insulate the Inside of Basement Walls](https://quiktherm.com/there-is-only-one-right-way-to-insulate-the-inside-of-basement-walls-2/): Basements have issues! They get wet in a variety of ways; flooding, plumbing leaks and cracks in concrete and poor drainage are just some of the causes for wet basements. Once they get wet, the after effects generally linger on forever.
- [The BEST How to Insulate Your Basement Method](https://quiktherm.com/the-best-how-to-insulate-your-basement-method/): There are many ways to insulate your basement.  However, for the last thirty years or so, batt insulation has been the common choice. Unfortunately, it is the worst way to insulate basements.  Why? Because it absorbs moisture and moisture promotes mold. Did you know wet insulation is a lousy insulator?  Of course you did, so why do Home Builders continue to use fiberglass batt in basements? Because it's cheap, readily available and it's the way it's always been done and Builders don't like change.
- [Rigid Insulation With Drainage Gap – Solar Dry Insulation](https://quiktherm.com/quik-therm-solar-dry-insulation-walls-that-drain-dry-and-disperse-moisture/): Moisture management is the single most crucial factor in the design and construction of sustainable buildings and mould control. The majority of all building construction problems are related to water. The structural integrity of the wall is at stake, as is the occupants' health. Over half of homes and buildings suffer from mould problems. Billions of dollars are spent annually on litigation involving mould and rot because of entrapped moisture. Quik-Therm solves this with our Solar Dry Insulation solution.
- [What’s the Difference between Effective R-value and Nominal R-value? ](https://quiktherm.com/whats-the-difference-between-effective-r-value-and-nominal-r-value/): Think of it like this! You buy a new vehicle and its estimated fuel economy is 10 liters per 100 kilometers. After six months of driving it actually consumes 15 liters per 100. Analogy: The Labelled R-value of insulation is its estimated fuel economy, effective R-value is its actual performance in real world wall assemblies, tested in winter like conditions.
- [Economic Benefits of Energy Efficiency Programs](https://quiktherm.com/economic-benefits-of-energy-efficiency-programs/): A 2014 study commissioned by Natural Resources Canada showed that government funding of energy efficiency programs can pay huge dividends for Canada’s economy. In its report Energy Efficiency: Engine of Economic Growth in Canada, the Acadia Center states that spending $28.6 billion dollars over 15 years (2012 to 2026, an average of $1.9 billion per year) on programs that improve the energy efficiency of our homes and businesses would result in:
