CBP Magazine: What Makes Us Green

WHAT MAKES US GREEN

Environmentally responsible because it incorporates annually renewable resources to replace a portion of the petroleum found in traditional spray foams and uses water as the blowing agent. We offer more sustainable insulation alternatives that support farmers and reduce petroleum use.
Energy-efficient because it creates an air-tight seal when paired with other responsible building materials allowing you to use less energy heating and cooling and saving up to 50% monthly.
Healthy because it blocks harmful outside irritants such as mold, pollen, or other allergens and improves indoor air quality. BioBased 1701 is GREENGUARD Certified for Children & Schools.
Comfortable because it seals the thermal envelope, keeping conditioned air inside and undesirable air outside, reducing drafts, temperature fluctuations, and outside noise.
Durable because it does not sag or break down over time, and it does not support mold growth or provide food for insects or rodents.

Solar Heat Gain Reduction - Viracon's VRE high performance coatings provide designers with the ability to balance aesthetics, reduce solar heat gain and bring in natural light.
Natural Light - The products high light transmittance addresses the psychological need for natural light while the reduced solar heat gain provides economic benefits.
Neutral Exterior Appearance - VRE high performance coatings provide a crisp neutral exterior appearance and soothing tones to the interior, allowing two-way vision through the glazing under varying lighting conditions.
Low U-values - VRE features an efficient blend of U-values as low as any coating along with reduced solar heat gain not previously available with Low-Emissivity glass products.
Desirable Aesthetics - VRE-30 is the latest addition to the Viracon Radiant Low-E (VRE) product line, and was designed to provide exceptional thermal performance with the aesthetics architects desire.
