High-Performance Building Products and Natural Insulation at Small Planet Supply
Small Planet Supply provides high-performance building products and high-efficiency mechanical systems to homeowners , designers and builders. Small Planet Supply began providing building supplies and systems used for Passive House homes. Because all homes and projects can benefit, we offer them to all who want to build structures that last and are easy on the environment (and your heating or cooling budget).
What are High Performance Building Products?
High performance building products are ones that safely increase the air-tightness of a home or building. These products will improve the ability of the building to keep heating (or cooling) inside of the structure, keeping occupants comfortable while also better protecting the building, Increasing the air-tightness of a home or building will decrease the amount of energy used for heating and cooling, saving on energy costs and making less of a demand on the planet.
What are the Types of Products that are Used to Achieve Air-tightness?
The goal of air-tight building is to create a barrier between the inside of the structure and the outdoor environment. The more comprehensive the air-tightness strategy or system, the more comfortable and energy-efficient the building will be. A comprehensive design will include an exterior air barrier wrap, sealing around the windows (either by tape or liquid membrane) and other openings. Some product lines will also include indoor barriers and sealant for interior openings.
Small Planet Supply sells products that can be used as a complete system, such as SIGA, Henry, or Prosoco. These systems have been designed to keep the weather out but let the building safely shed moisture. This protects the building, minimizing any chance of moisture damage in the build. We also sell products that have a specific purpose such as Hannoband, ThermaCork and fasteners.
