1. P2000 improves the Thermal Efficiency of your home by forming a highly effective insulation
layer over the outside of your home.
- This layer acts as an air infiltration barrier, significantly reducing the free movement
of air through cracks and openings in the wall. This is widely acknowledged as a major source
of thermal loss. ยท It forms a thermal break between the interior and exterior of the wall. In
standard "stick frame" construction, fiberglass or cellulose insulation is placed between the
studs in the wall. The studs themselves are not insulated, so they act as a conduit for conducting
heat through the wall. By insulating the exterior wall you break the conductive path of energy loss.
2. It improves the working surface for the siding installation, by forming a rigid flat base for
the new siding. This can smooth out an imperfect wall, resulting in sharp even lines where bulges
and waviness existed before.

3. It can help to dampen the noise level permeating the structure from the outside. For homes
subjected to extreme traffic noise, additional noise attenuation steps will probably need to
be taken. But, a layer of insulation can noticeably reduce external noise, making your home a
more relaxing place to be.
