Fan Pier

Flame Spread of 5, Smoke Development of 5, Class "A" Noncombustible K-13 gets tapped for the below grade garage at the new Fan Pier Development. With the rapid rise of expandable foam products, which carry Smoke Development figures of over 450 and concerns of Flame Spread, K-13 stands alone. Providing matching R-values, along with higher durability and superior aesthetics, K-13 does not require expensive and unproven fire delay coatings.

Blue Cross and Blue Shield

Blue Cross and Blue Shield insured they would not have cold floors in their new Providence Rhode Island Headquarters by utilizing K-13. Applied at 4.04" in Light Grey to match cementitious fireproofing, the K-13 is providing a monolithic coating of R-19. K-13 (Ure-K0 was also utilized in the exterior walls over foam to provide the required 15 minute ignition delay.

Trapello Road Office Building

You don't see this type of application often, but when your tenants are #1, you do what you have to. This application of K-13 is applied in a parking structure with no building above. Due to the temperature difference generated from the cars in this unheated garage, extreme condensation was forming on the fluted metal deck and dripping constantly on the cars below. K-13 applied at 1.5" has moved the dew point off the metal surface, and the condensation issue is now a thing of the past.

Patriot Place

Back in the garage for the Patriots. Over 500,000 board feet of K-13 Tan was applied in under 6 weeks offering tremendous value engineering along with monolithic thermal performance. K-13 is a class "A" noncombustible and does not require additional fire coatings to remain exposed. A recent car fire at the Providence Place Mall Parking Garage left the fire department commenting that the K-13 has out performed the cementitious fireproofing that was in place.

Norwood Fire Station

Another retro-fit application of K-13 is installed. With the recently completed new construction of the Norwood Fire Station, it became evident very quickly there was a problem. The offices along with the overnight quarters of the fire fighters were above the uninsulated deck of the apparatus room. With floor temperatures well below comfort levels, Norian/Siani Engineering specified K-13 applied at 2.34", R-11, to be installed. Completed in less than 10 days, the fire fighters can now rest comfortably while waiting for the alarm to ring.

Westin Hotel at the Boston Convention Center

600,000 board feet of K-13 Light Grey is protecting the visitors at the new Westin hotel at the Boston Convention Center in Boston Massachusetts. The K-13, applied at 4.04", R-19, in the loading docks and parking garage levels, also enhances the Noise Reduction Coefficient to conference spaces above. The Westin Hotel in Providence Rhode Island is currently receiving a similar treatment on two levels above the retail and parking levels.

Hamilton Place

Rigid board and stick pins or Spray-on K-13? This split screen picture is a below structure parking area showing the original 2.5" of rigid board insulation and the retrofitted application of Light Grey K-13. It did not take long for the local bird population to realize the rigid board provided ideal nesting material. The k-13 application, completed over a year ago, has a bond strength of over 350 psf. The birds are now looking for new housing.

Boston University Arena

700,000 board feet! This beautiful new hockey arena at Boston University, in conjunction with Cannon Design, taps K-13 for the thermal insulation in the massive below structure parking area. Applied in Light Grey to coincide with the cementitious fireproofing, the application offers a uniform continuous appearance. Completed in under 100 days, the monolithic coating will provide high performance thermal insulation without costly maintenance for years to come.

Brookline Courtyard Marriott Hotel

This is not the first Marriott to use K-13 in a below grade parking area and is will not be the last. Nothing is more important than the comfort of your guests when you are in the hotel business. Applied at 4.04", R-Value of 19, the application of K-13 Light Gray is competitive with drop ceilings and fiberglass batts, but that is where the similarities end. The monolithic coating of high performance insulation controls condensation without the inherent R-Value reduction of fiberglass insulation.

Wellesley Free Library

A drop ceiling with fiberglass batts atop may provide a degree of higher aesthetics, but when it comes to thermal performance this application of 3" of K-13 Spray-On Insulation can not be beat. NO moisture problems, NO cold floor complaints, NO gaps in the insulation from maintenance workers not replacing the fiberglass, and total access to all through floor mechanicals. K-13 not only offers improved performance in this problem area, but the installed costs are less! K-13 Spray-On Insulation is clearly the choice for below structure parking areas.

Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame

Our second project profile on the new Basketball Hall of Fame in Springfield Massachusetts is showcasing this 1,000 car parking garage that spans the entire underside of the structure. Applied at a thickness of 3" providing an R-Value of 14, the monolithic application keeps the exhibit hall and restaurant level floors warm for all visitors. Sona-Spray "fc" was also applied in additional areas as an interior aesthetic coating.

Providence Courtyard Marriott Hotel

Dot the I's and clean the T's were the instructions at this new Marriott Hotel in Providence Rhode Island. K-13 Tan was applied at a minimum of 3" to achieve an R-Value of 13. The architect utilized the material to maximize head room and minimize heat loss. This reduced application of K-13 offered sizable cost savings over dropped ceilings with fiberglass batts, along with the benefits of a monolithic insulation between the precast concrete.

Westborough Office Building

Warm floors are guaranteed at this new office building in Westborough Massachusetts. Light Gray K-13 applied at a minimum of 4.2”, R-Value of 19 will be the insurance. This economical but effective application of K-13 in below deck parking areas has quickly become one of the most popular techniques of insuring a monolithic blanket of insulation along with a no maintenance finish ceiling. With over 5 million board feet of product installed in parking garages in the New England area someone has been paying attention.

Foxwoods Grand Pequot Tower

1 million board feet of K-13! With this recently completed application, Foxwoods Casino has utilized all the benefits K-13 can provide. From acoustical performance to thermal insulation, K-13 has proven to be the material of choice at the Foxwoods Casino in these difficult and most times problem areas. Applications have ranged from 1.5", N.R.C. rating of 1.05 in the Main Showroom Concert Hall, 2" Tan between floors in the hotel for sound and condensation control, and thermal insulation on 4.19", R-19, in the below grade parking garage.
