WOOD CONVERSION INTRODUCES NEW BALSAM.WOOL PANEL INSULATION

A new insulation product designed for exterior application to walls has been introduced by Wood Conversion Company, St. Paul, Minnesota. Called BalsamWool Panel I nsulation, it is available either in continuous rolls 8 feet wide for application to tilt-up or similar framing, or in single sheets for application to 4' x 8' panel framing (such as Lu-Re-Co).

This newest insulation blanket has a reflective aluminum liner and a kraft paper liner which are bonded to opposite sides of the insulation mat. The insulation blanket is designed to provide a minimum fi" air space on both sides of the insulation blanket in the finished wall. The fire-retardant mat is protected against infiltration of wind and moisture by a tough kraft paper liner facing the exterior air space. The reflrctive liner is specially bonded with asphalt to the insulation mat and forms a continuous vapor barrier. The reflective liner reduces heat loss by reflecting 83/o of the heat rays crossing the air space by radiation. The insulating mat effectively reduces heat loss by conduction and convection.

Formerly known as Builders Blanket with Reflective liner. Balsam-Wool Panel Insulation has been thoroughly field tested in the colder areas of the country over the past several years with outstanding success.
