DIVISION 7 — THERMAL & MOISTURE

When installing thermal and moisture protection, we pay close attention to achieve the most effective outcome by making sure all joints are properly sealed with the product that is specified. Mold and mildew prevention are essential to all commercial projects. Glass fiber acoustical blanket insulation is often necessary for facilities and buildings that need to reduce sound transmission through each wall. Glass fiber helps increase the STC (Sound Transmission Class) rating per wall system and increase the R-value per wall as well. We utilize rigid foam insulation and metal z-furring to create a high R-value as well as a backer for metal wall panels or other exterior finishes. See what services PC Haines offers for thermal and moisture protection below.

THERMAL INSULATION

We install thermal insulation per drawings & specifications to guarantee you superior noise protection, essential in educational facilities, and multi-office buildings.

MOISTURE BARRIERS

We can expertly apply vapor barriers such as non-rated or fire-rated barriers for ultimate moisture protection that ensures the prevention of mold and mildew growth.

PENETRATION FIRESTOPPING

When specified, we install mineral wool insulation and fire-sealant or fire-spray to seal walls to obtain the necessary fire rating per code of compliance drawing(s), deterring smoke/fire from entering areas.

JOINT SEALANTS

If your project calls for a higher STC rating, we can seal joints with sound sealant. This will also aid in blocking moisture.
