Developed and patented in 1984, air krete® is both time- and test-proven. While air krete® insulation is new to Canada, it has been used in the United States for over 20 years. air krete® is an excellent choice for new construction, for owners of older homes, and for those with chemical sensitivities who want to achieve energy savings up to 50%.

air krete® is a cement-based insulation which is made from magnesium oxide (a mineral derived from seawater), ceramic talc, a foaming agent and water. It is the air trapped in the foam bubbles that stops energy loss once air krete® is installed.

Why choose air krete® insulation?

• save money over time – Your energy needs for heating and air-conditioning will be reduced dramatically – between 30% and 50% – depending on your home’s construction. air krete® pays for itself within a few years.
  
• high R-value of 3.9 per inch – The R-value of air krete® is not affected by age, wind conditions, moisture, or air infiltration.
  
• 100% fire-safe – An excellent firesafing and firestopping material, air krete® will not burn or produce toxic fumes.
  
• 100% non-toxic – An ideal choice for those with chemical sensitivities, air krete® is inorganic, formaldehyde-free, odourless, mould resistant, and non-corrosive. It does not produce airbourne contaminants or irritants during installation.
  
• moisture-tolerant – air krete® is water-vapour permeable which allows structural moisture to diffuse and dissipate. This permeability helps to regulate indoor air humidity and enhance air quality.
  
• soundproofing ability – air krete® insulation works as a highly-effective, sound-absorbing acoustic barrier against outside noise. It can also be used in interior walls to create sound-absorbing partitions and to encase plumbing pipes.
  
• environmentally-friendly – air krete® insulation is free of asbestos, all other carcinogenic fibers, VOCs, CFCs and HCFCs.

• pest-resistant – air krete® exhibits a de-oiling effect which deters rodents and insects.
  
• raise your property value – A well-insulated home and lower energy costs will give you comfortable living now, and be attractive assets to a future buyer.
