Here’s What Net-Zero-Ready Above-Grade Walls for Cold Climates May Look Like
By about 2030, most provinces should be hitting Tier 5 — Net-Zero Ready. See how using Logix Brands products can get your closer to Tier 5, with passive energy generation systems and high-performance envelopes to meet their energy demands!
Is Graphite Polystyrene (GPS) An Open Or Closed Cell Insulation? (And Why It Matters!)
Is Graphite Polystyrene (GPS) An Open Or Closed Cell Insulation? (And Why It Matters!) Insulation can be referred to as either open or closed cell insulation. Cell structures of closed-cell insulation are completely closed. Whereas open-cell insulation is made up of cells that aren’t completely closed – cell walls are open or shared. Both insulation […]
Halo’s Type 1 GPS Still Outperforms!
See how Halo’s GPS core still surpasses the new Foamular 150 NGX. The NEW and improved XPS still uses more energy and resources than Halo’s Type 1 GPS and creates a foam board product that offers lower long-term thermal resistance.
New Resources for Getting Started With Halo!
We’re committed to equipping you with all the right tools and information before you build with Halo. These installation guides, as well as our interactive webcasts, should help you kick off your next project.
What is Graphite Foam Insulation?
Discover how Halo is powered by Graphite Polystyrene (GPS) and the benefits of our Neopor core. GPS provides a long-term thermal performance of R5 per nominal inch (1.06″) while offering a minuscule embodied carbon footprint compared to XPS.
XPS HFC Bans Won’t Matter When You Use Halo
The entire US is on track to re-join the Paris Agreement and gradually ban HFCs. XPS is not the only high-performance product on the market, and with high, long-lasting R-values and a 0-HFC content, Halo’s GPS is already a better, cleaner alternative.
