This was a good year for developing some new systems for energy retro-fits and re-modeling.
Basement Transformations
- Utilized a different approach to insulating basement floors that involved using sprayed on closed cell urethane foam under slab floors.
- Developed a new framing system that accommodates a pine paneled finish. This system is more practical than drywall for attachment of shelving and storage systems. The paneling also provides a warmer & cozier feeling to the basement environment.
- Utilized a new brilliant white 12 mil ground cover that provides superior moisture protection and durability over our earlier double layer of 6 mil black poly ground cloth.
