The secret to energy efficiency is simple: keep the outside air out, and the
inside air in. Unfortunately, air can travel through even the smallest cracks,
holes or seams. Even with traditional fiberglass insulation, air easily passes
through the spaces between the wall studs and the insulation batts,
reducing the effective R-value of the assembly. GacoGreen 052 has no
seams or cracks, because it immediately expands to fill every nook and
cranny. And because Gacogreen 052 doesn’t shrink, settle or sag over time,
the “Air Seal Advantage” continues to provide energy savings year after
year.
When GacoGreen 052 is sprayed into the stud wall cavity of a home, its two
liquid components become chemically bonded, creating a rigid plastic-like
material that ties the studs and the exterior sheathing together as one. In
technical terms, this is called a monolithic wall barrier, because there are
no gaps or voids — only one single uniform structure.
The same GacoGreen 052 air seal that prevents air from flowing in and out
equally hard at preventing outdoor pollutants such as smog and pollen from
penetrating your home — not to mention pests and rodents. And because
GacoGreen 052 creates a seamless moisture barrier, it inhibits the growth
of mold and bacteria. All that adds up to a safer, healthier home for you and
your family.
