Rotech Subsea Shipping Containers Get Ceramic Insulation

Call:

Rotech Subsea, an International company in northwest Houston, called to get quotes for insulating shipping containers that were being converted into small offices and workshops. Rotech Subsea wanted an insulation solution that did not subtract from the internal working space of the containers but would yield the desired safety, temperature and sound control levels at the same time.

Solution:

Christopher Burke, The Insulation Guru, arrived at Rotech Subsea and assessed the situation with the containers. Explaining that applying ceramic insulation would help with the interior temperature as well as deaden the sound vibrations that were common with these types of hybrid offices. Chris also explained that unlike foam and batt insulation, ceramic insulation was sprayed on in mill thickness rather than 3 to 9 inches of materials. The Insulation Guru  left a quote to do the containers which was later accepted.

Benefit:

Ceramic insulation can be applied to almost any substrate. The temperature drop per container was greater than if traditional insulation was used. There was no down time so the containers were ready to ship within hours. The ceramic insulation was applied at 40 to 60 mills thick so there was no significant internal space absorbed. The internal vibrations and noise levels were also greatly reduced; yielding a safer job site.  The containers were energy efficient and maintained a clean and professional look.

Moody Brother’s Warehouse

Call:

An excess of heat was building up in the Moody Brother’s warehouse causing uncomfortable working conditions for the workers on the ground level. In Texas, the comfort of your staff is paramount to running an efficient business.

Solution:

The insulation Guru installed MBI ridge vents with dampers in the ceiling of Moody Brother’s warehouse. These dampers opened and closed by way of a chain cord operated at the ground level.

Benefits:

Workers could easily and safely open and close the dampers which allowed the excess heat to escape through the rooftop before working conditions became unbearable. The ability to control the warehouse temperature through these dampers created a much more efficient, safe and humane working environment.

Blown-in Insulation for Express Oil Change

Call:

Builder called to get quote on new construction insulation project in Spring, Texas. This was a 3600 square foot Express Oil Change building.  Discussed with builder best time to come give estimate.

Solution:

Arrived at site and assessed the situation. Gave quote for an R-38 of L-77 insulation (Blown In) as well as full weatherization in the attic area over offices and work stations.

Quote was accepted and work was performed. After completing the project, The Insulation Guru is now a regular bidder for future projects.

Benefits:

Having the insulation overhead in the attic area helped keep the cool in the areas below as well as keeping the heat transfer from entering the conditioned area.  Added weatherization in the attic (Foaming in penetrations that were found that lead to conditioned space below) helped seal off the area and promote a healthier environment.
