Silicone Treated Perlite Insulation
Silicone Treated Perlite Insulation more than doubles the efficiency of concrete block walls. By filling masonry cavity walls and the cores of concrete block with perlite, heat loss and gain are reduced more than 50%. Result: improved comfort, lower heating and cooling costs, less costly heating equipment, greater customer satisfaction. It's easy for mason contractors to install Silicone Treated Perlite. Just open the bag and pour into block and cavity walls. No special equipment or skills are needed. Silicone Treated Perlite is rot and vermin proof, non-combustible, provides lasting water-repellency which stops moisture from impairing insulating efficiency.
