Each Halo product has a unique feature that translates into a tangible benefit for the builder💪

✅ 𝗜𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗿𝗿𝗮 boards let you build without an additional vapor barrier and serve as a thermal/ignition barrier in the US.

✅ 𝗘𝘅𝘁𝗲𝗿𝗿𝗮’s perforated laminate eliminates your need for house wrap while letting vapor escape the wall cavity.

✅ 𝗦𝘂𝗯𝘁𝗲𝗿𝗿𝗮’s resilient laminate effectively diverts water away from foundation walls and protects the GPS foam core from job site damage.

All these products share one key ingredient — they’re all made with a highly efficient, low-carbon GPS foam core.

𝟱𝟬 𝗛𝗼𝗺𝗲𝘀 𝗶𝗻 𝟱𝟬 𝗦𝘁𝗮𝘁𝗲𝘀! Affordable & Resilient Shelter For @habitatforhumanity

As the US housing crunch continues to intensify, lumber prices continue to soar. This year, Logix Brands Ltd. is once again proud to support Habitat for Humanity International on its mission to provide affordable yet resilient #shelter to American families. As our president, Andy Lennox notes:

“This partnership enables the ICF and #readymixconcrete industries to support the very worthy #HabitatForHumanity effort on a national level and gives us a great opportunity to set an example for how we should be building resilient communities across the country.”

Logix ICF is fast and easy to install and delivers handsome profits to the construction team.

Assuming natural gas as the fuel source, the projected carbon emissions for an average 1,600 sq ft home for heating and cooling in a cold climate is about 8,200 lbs of operating carbon per year.

NEW IS NOT ALWAYS BETTER

As companies adjusted their products to meet new regulations that banned the use of blowing agents HFC-134A and HFC-142B, many XPS manufacturers simply tweaked a few components rather than addressing the big picture.

"It's What's Inside That Counts"

While we've all heard the saying, when it comes to LOGIX PRO™, a durable concrete core pairs perfectly with the rugged 2 3/4” foam panels for a typical wall assembly R-value of R25.

Our most popular form is also one of our favorites when dealing with successful and efficient winter construction 👍

𝗧𝗶𝗻𝘆 𝗣𝗲𝗿𝗳𝗼𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀 = 𝗕𝗶𝗴 𝗜𝗺𝗽𝗮𝗰𝘁! Unlike leading XPS brands, Halo Exterra does not create a double-vapor barrier.🌬

A recent hot box test revealed that a layer of continuous insulation could also 𝗮𝗱𝗱 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗿𝗺𝗮𝗹 𝗹𝗮𝗴 to a wall assembly.

This effect delays the building’s heat loss when outdoor temperatures drop. With more thermal lag, a property’s heating and cooling equipment can remain idle longer before indoor temperatures get low enough to trigger the thermostat.
