Energy Efficient Insulation, Acoustic and Fireproofing Products

HEC uses only the top proven insulation, acoustic and fireproofing products in the industry and is trained and certified by the manufacturers in the diagnosis and application of the product.

K-13 Thermal Insulation and Acoustical Fitness

International Cellulose offers a complete line of spray-on thermal acoustic finishes. All products combine cellulose fiber mixed with an acrylic adhesive. All fiber is treated with a boric acid and borate fire retardant. This product provides a R-value of3.8 per inch as well as providing an excellent solution to reverberant noise problems.

K-13 FC Sona Spray is made from a higher grade of paper that is ground much finer to provide a smother architectural finish. Primary use is as an acoustical treatment where a smooth finish is required. Excellent for mid to high frequency noise. 

K-13 Urek has been tested and approved to provide the required delay of ignition and reduction of surface burning rate of low melting, combustible rigid spray-on polyurethane insulation foam. K-13 Urek also adds thermal and acoustic benefit to the foam insulation system.

Applegate Spray-On Blown Cellulose

Applegate is sprayed into open wall cavities on new construction and gut-rehab projects. It can also be blown into attics, cathedral ceilings and closed wall cavities on existing homes or commercial buildings. The product conforms to the building structure forming a seamless, monolithic, thermal/acoustical insulation system that provides a true installed R-value of3.8 per inch.

  • Provides superior sound control.
  • Provides superior comfort.
  • Not irritating to the skin, eyes and lungs like fiberglass.
  • Cellulose is a green product using over 80% recycled content.

Gaco Western Spary-on Polyurethane Foam

WallFoam is a spray-applied polyurethane foam insulation that can be applied to above grade walls, ceilings and floor assemblies. WallFoam is an excellent choice for insulation basement walls from the interior. WallFoam is a superior system for mental buildings and concrete structures. Foam insulation seals air leakage at seams, reduces condensation and improves overall performance in mental buildings.

  • Seamless air barrier - superior insulation starts with keeping outside air out and inside air in.
  • A stronger home - Gayco WallFoam ties studs and sheathing together as one resulting in a stronger home.
  • Higher R-value - (R 7.0 per inch).
  • Healthier home - eliminates root causes of mold growth.
  • Green product - uses recycled soft drink bottles in manufacturing process to minimize waste in land fills while reducing the amount of petroleum needed.

Gaco Western Foam Roofs

Gaco spray foam and coatings provide seamless insulation and waterproofing, and are fully adhered to the substrate. Gaco coatings are elastomeric, meaning they are able to stretch as the substrate warms and cools through the day and through the seasons. Characterized by high physical properties, GacoFlex coatings are tough enough to withstand years of abuse by sun and weather.

Gaco has also developed roof systems to meet specific project requirements. From quick-set spray applications, to highly reflective coatings designed to lower your energy bills, Gaco has the breadth and depth of applications to get your project done well and done on time.

Cafco Fireproofing

Cafco LogoSpray-Applied Fire Resistive Materials (SFRMs)

Blaze-Shield II is a commercial density, compositely reinforced portland cement based SFRM designed to endure construction abuse as well as exposure to extreme weather conditions. The unique formulation of Cafco Blaze-Shield II makes it a very effective thermal insulator. As an efficient sound-absorbing material, Blaze-Shield II adds value to the fire protection application in areas where high-noise levels are anticipated. High recycled content, superior durability, no pre-mixing and reduced labor costs to install make Blaze-Shield II the most cost effective SFRM in the world.

Blaze-Shield HP is designed for use where abrasion resistance due to maintenance traffic is needed. This medium density cement based product is ideal for indirect weather exposure or limited physical abuse.

Cafco Fireproofing Blaze-Shield is a portland cement based spray-applied fire resistive material designed to provide fire resistive ratings for structural steel and concrete in commercial construction. Applied directly to steel beams, columns and deck, or to concrete surfaces, its outstanding value and proven fire performance make it an excellent choice for concealed commercial environments.
