A very important article from Insulation Australasia highlighting why 𝗰𝗼𝗿𝗿𝗲𝗰𝘁 𝗶𝗻𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗹𝗹𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗽𝗿𝗮𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗰𝗲𝘀 matter just as much as the insulation material itself. As a member of the Insulation Australasia, Pacific Urethanes strongly advocates for 𝗯𝗲𝘀𝘁 𝗽𝗿𝗮𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗰𝗲𝘀 𝗶𝗻 𝗶𝗻𝘀𝘂𝗹𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻, application standards, and industry education. Correct installation plays a critical role in 𝗹𝗼𝗻𝗴-𝘁𝗲𝗿𝗺 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗿𝗺𝗮𝗹 𝗽𝗲𝗿𝗳𝗼𝗿𝗺𝗮𝗻𝗰𝗲, 𝗺𝗼𝗶𝘀𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗲 𝗺𝗮𝗻𝗮𝗴𝗲𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁, 𝗰𝗼𝗻𝗱𝗲𝗻𝘀𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗰𝗼𝗻𝘁𝗿𝗼𝗹, 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗿𝗮𝗹𝗹 𝗯𝘂𝗶𝗹𝗱𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗶𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗴𝗿𝗶𝘁𝘆. Poor installation can create significant performance and compliance risks over time. This is an important read for contractors, applicators, specifiers, and the broader building industry.
