How Thermal Acoustic Insulation Will Save Your Facility Money During and After the Fireproofing Process

Prop­er insu­la­tion is essen­tial for pro­tect­ing your facil­i­ty, main­tain­ing the inter­nal cli­mate, and keep­ing out unwant­ed noise. Like any oth­er build­ing improve­ment or neces­si­ty, how­ev­er, installing ther­mal acoustic insu­la­tion can incur high short-term costs. When applied prop­er­ly and care­ful­ly main­tained, how­ev­er, these short-term costs are out­weighed by var­i­ous long-term ben­e­fits. When it’s time to update your facility’s fire­proof­ing, for instance, hav­ing opti­mal ther­mal acoustic insu­la­tion can stream­line the process and max­i­mize safe­ty. Like­wise, you don’t want new insu­la­tion to hin­der or undo your cur­rent fire­proof­ing. Here’s how Kaloutas’ ther­mal acoustic insu­la­tion instal­la­tions can save your facil­i­ty mon­ey both dur­ing and after the indus­tri­al fire­proof­ing process.

How Ther­mal Acoustic Insu­la­tion Saves Money

Kaloutas Oper­ates on Your Schedule

At Kaloutas, we always aim to both improve our clients’ facil­i­ties ther­mal effi­cien­cy, min­i­mize interior/​exterior noise, and save them mon­ey wher­ev­er pos­si­ble. We achieve these goals by fit­ting our ser­vices into our clients’ sched­ules to avoid down­time and min­i­mize inter­fer­ence. When apply­ing new ther­mal acoustic insu­la­tion or fire­proof­ing, for instance, we will sug­gest the most opti­mal sequenc­ing to cre­ate a plan of attack. Coor­di­nat­ing with oth­er trades for the most effi­cient install and also lim­it­ing poten­tial repairs is a tim­ing chal­lenge, and our teams can help nav­i­gate that chal­lenge. If applic­a­ble and nec­es­sary, we’ll work out­side of your busi­ness hours to get the job done. Oth­er­wise, we’ll strate­gi­cal­ly break up the instal­la­tion process so parts of your facil­i­ty can remain oper­a­tional while anoth­er is being worked on. By work­ing the way you work, we help you avoid costs asso­ci­at­ed with tem­po­rary shut­downs and restrictions.

Fiber­glass Ther­mal Acoustic Insu­la­tion Is Com­pat­i­ble with Fire­proof­ing Products

Our teams install fiber­glass-based spray-applied ther­mal acoustic insu­la­tion prod­ucts for insu­la­tion and sound reduc­tion pur­pos­es. One of the rea­sons we opt for these spe­cif­ic prod­ucts is because they’re high­ly com­pat­i­ble with fire­proof­ing. Oth­er types of insu­la­tion and fire­proof paint, includ­ing intu­mes­cent paint, are not always com­pat­i­ble with fire­proof­ing or vice ver­sa. Man­u­fac­tur­ers war­ranties can be jeop­ar­dized, and sim­ple qual­i­ties, such as weight, can present long-term poten­tial fail­ures. This cre­ates a trade-off between these two essen­tial pro­tec­tive fea­tures. Kaloutas helps you achieve the right bal­ance between insu­la­tion and fire­proof­ing while stream­lin­ing the fireproofing/​insulation process. The ease of instal­la­tion com­bined with prop­er pro­tec­tion results in cost sav­ings dur­ing and after the project.

High­ly Durable and Effective

Fiber­glass insu­la­tion prod­ucts aren’t just com­pat­i­ble with fire­proof­ing — they’re also depend­able, pro­vid­ing strong pro­tec­tion against ultra­vi­o­let (UV) expo­sure, mois­ture, and oth­er haz­ards. This dura­bil­i­ty trans­lates to few­er repair costs down the line. Our ther­mal acoustic insu­la­tion solu­tions also deliv­er ade­quate noise reduc­tion, keep­ing exter­nal sounds out of your work area and vice ver­sa. Keep­ing noise to a min­i­mum allows employ­ees to bet­ter con­cen­trate on their work, increas­ing pro­duc­tiv­i­ty across the board.

The Bot­tom Line

Achiev­ing opti­mal ther­mal per­for­mance and fire­proof insu­la­tion is a key long-term invest­ment. Max­i­miz­ing your facility’s R‑value (ther­mal resis­tance) ensures your building’s over­all integri­ty. Kaloutas’ fiber­glass spray-applied ther­mal acoustic insu­la­tion doesn’t set­tle or loosen, and it doesn’t inter­fere with exist­ing fire­proof mate­ri­als. In the end, you’ll save your facil­i­ty mon­ey by reduc­ing main­te­nance and repair costs, increas­ing pro­duc­tiv­i­ty and morale, and reduc­ing the time it takes to fire­proof and/​or insu­late your sur­faces. Kaloutas can help you fur­ther save mon­ey by work­ing accord­ing to your sched­ule and pro­vid­ing a sin­gle point of con­tact for your facil­i­ty ren­o­va­tion needs.
