Fans
All buildings require ventilation to rid the dwelling of stale air, exhaust indoor toxins, and to protect the structure from damaging effects of excess moisture. With today's tighter homes, a controlled, well-designed ventilation system is necessary.

Ceiling Fans
Exhaust ceiling fansPanasonic Super-Quiet Exhaust Ceiling Fan
Panasonic has designed a fan to meet the task with the utmost in energy efficiency. The low sone (noise) level and low input wattage allow these fans to run continuously and quietly.

Wall-mounted Fans
Wall-Mounted FansPanasonic Whisperwall wall-mounted Fan
Because of its unique condenser motor design, this fan is rated to run continuously while using 1/4th the electricity of the typical wall fan. It can be used as a spot fan to clear out temporary moisture and odors, or left running for continuous exhaust of stale, indoor air. The price includes a flexible duct and a sturdy galvanized exterior wall grill.
PE FV08W 80 CFMs, .45 sones, 16 watts $216.50


Fantech Applications Fantech In-line - The Fantech In-line fan is designed to be installed between sections of round duct. The remote installation insures a low sound level at the grill. Because the housing is made of  Noryl plastic, the fan can be mounted in outdoor and wet locations. In addition, the fan is sealed to prevent moisture from entering the housing and to prevent leakage if the fan is to be used for radon mitigation. With the use of a Y-connector, a single in-line fan can ventilate two areas.

Remote Mount Fans

Adles SPV Applications The Adles SPV (Single Port Vent) - The Adles SPV allows for ventilation of several areas with a single fan. It is energy efficient, quiet (.5 to 1 sone at the grill) and suitable to a wide range of applications. A special feature of the SPV's is its flat fan curve which insures a relatively constant pressure over a wide range of airflow. This means that SPV can be used with longer duct runs without significantly affecting pressure or noise level. The SPV can be used to vent range ducts.

The ERV System - Energy efficient buildings of today can be so tight that they eliminate virtually all air leaks. GREAT! - but an unwanted side effect is the constant recirculation of stale air containing the build-up of pollutants, odors, carbon dioxide and excessive moisture. Letting in fresh air through an open window, an obvious solution, carries its own set of problems, not the least of which is to heat this cold air in winter and cool it in summer. The solution - a heat recovery ventilator (HRV) which uses room air to preheat incoming air. An ERV, one further step, also maintains a good indoor humidity level, and pre-cools incoming summer air. ERV means cleaner, fresher, healthier air.

Lossnay Energy Recovery Ventilator (ERV)
The Mitsubishi core of this product is an engineered composite resin partition plate. Fresh incoming air is automatically preheated or pre-cooled by the core depending on the season. As opposed to an HRV (Heat Recovery Ventilator) an ERV exchanges humidity as well as heat in winter. The core works to prevent indoor humidity levels from becoming too dry or too humid by the partial transfer of water vapor. By the same method, summer outside air brought in for ventilation is reduced in temperature and humidity because its heat and moisture are transferred to the exhaust air stream. The core in this system stays frost free, requiring no antifreeze cycle. This mechanical simplicity means low maintenance and less energy usage.

The Heartland Vent
Heartland vent This vent can be used as a dryer or fan vent. It an be exterior wall or roof mounted. This model is far superior to a standard louvered vent in several ways. First, the unique closure system prevents drafts from entering and keeps out leaves and outside debris, which can clog louvered vents. Additionally, the thermal plastic closure doesn't conduct heat as metal does, and it reflects moisture to retard frost formation. These vents are available with a spring-loaded shuttle for use with low-pressure fans.
PE HL $21.840


Sealing
Polyurethane expanding foams are used in new construction and remodeling situations to insulate against heat lost. They are the best products to use around skylights, inside and outside of electrical outlets, between door or window and house frame, around pipe penetrations and around base plates. As you use this product, you will discover more and more applications.

Our foams are available in two types of application kits. Both Handi-foam and Insta-foam contain no ozone-depleting CFCs. The foam is put into a 3/8th to 1/2in. bead that is controlled by a trigger. The R-value of these foams is 5 per inch, making them good insulators. Please use a good respirator when using these products.

Insta-Foam
Insta-Foam Man comes as a kit in a 16 lb. box, complete with 8ft. of hose, one plastic nozzle and one brass nozzle. The foam is turned off at the box and the hose cleaned out for reuse several months later. Each box yields 4700 lined feet of a 3/8th in. to 1/2 in. bead, which makes this an excellent way to go for large jobs.
PE IN550 $111.20

Polyurethane Expanding Gun-Mounted Foams
Handi-foam FastfillHandi-foam Fastfill
This is a 33oz. canister that screws in on top of a gun. This makes for more of a portable operation and a more controlled application. Each can contains approx. 1100 lined feet of a 1/2in. bead.
PE HA $12.21.54

Convertable Foam GunConvertible Foam Gun
This convertible foam gun allows for use of either the Insta-foam box or the handi-foam canister. As long as a can (even when empty) is left on the gun, a closed system is set up and the foam will not cure inside the gun. The handi-foam screws in on top of the gun and the insta-foam attaches from the tube below. All parts of the gun are replaceable.
PE G $119.40

Handishooter
HandishooterThe handishooter is an economic plastic gun. The check valve allows the can to be removed from the top of the gun without wasting any foam. A short barrel allows for use in tight spaces.
PE HS $39.80

Handi-Clean
can be used with either application kit. It screws onto the gun for cleaning before long term storage and can be used to remove fresh foam from the gun or box parts. Once the foam cures, it is difficult to remove and must be cut or scraped off. PE C $6.58

Air and Vapor Barriers
Tuff Air Seal
Tuff is a cross laminated, micro-perforated, poly sheeting. It is ten times as puncture resistant, with 5 times the tensile strength of 4 mil. polyethylene. It also has twice the perm rating, which makes for drier basements below grade and better vapor barriers above. Because it is only 3mil and because it is so tear resistant, it is much easier to install correctly and continuously than the standard 4 or 6mil. poly. Use white above grade. Use black below grade and as a ground cover in crawl spaces.
PE TT standard rolls 50in to 70ft. x 100ft. (B or W)$11.22/sq. ft.

Tu Tuf Seam Tape
PE TPTT 4in. x 100ft. $42.70/roll

Refletex
Refletix is an insulation, radiant barrier, and vapor barrier combined into one product. It is 5/16in. thick, made of layers of foil bonded to a tough layer of polyethylene, with two inner layers of bubblerap to resist heat flow. When installed with an air space, it provides a heat barrier equal to much thicker width of traditional insulating material. The R-value when the direction of the heat flow is up is 8.3; down 14.3; horizontal 9.8.

It can be used whenever you would use any other insulation product. It has the added advantage of being moisture resistant (perfect for basement or crawl spaces), it is easier to install (just use a stapler and scissors) and it prevents no health hazards for the installer or the building occupant.
PE REF 2 or 4ft. x 25, 50 or 125ft. $0.39/sq. ft.
