Straight Edge Insulation is an essential tool for engineers, manufacturing, construction and various other professional applications where accuracy and precision are critical. Manufactured to DIN 874 GG-00 standards, these straight edges are made from a dimensionally stable solid slab material and feature weight reducing holes and extra finely ground measuring surfaces to offer superior precision. Available in carbon and stainless steel quality grades, these straight edges are suitable for use with a variety of applications.

Straight Edge Insulation: Protecting Homes from Extreme Weather Conditions

While it may seem counterintuitive, insulating the slab edge of a foundation can have a significant impact on a building’s overall energy efficiency. A foot of solid concrete provides only R-1 of protection, while a properly insulated slab is rated at R-10 and can dramatically reduce heat transfer to the interior.

There are several ways to accomplish this, including the use of fiberglass batts (which also come in faced and unfaced varieties) or spray foam. Foam insulation, which offers high R-values and forms an air barrier, can also be more cost effective than the typical batts and can help eliminate some of the other tasks associated with weatherizing a home, such as caulking, applying housewrap and vapor barriers and taping joints.

XPS extruded polystyrene foam insulation is ideal for commercial foundations, floor slabs and attics in new construction and existing homes. It has closed cells that resist heat transfer and frost damage and is moisture resistant, allowing it to retain its R-value in wet areas, including below grade commercial foundation applications.
