When the decision was made recently at Passavant Hospital in Pittsburgh, PA, to add a new wing housing additional ICU units, operating rooms and an emergency department, architect John Baverso of WTW Associates specified INSULBAR® as the thermal barrier for the more than 200 windows involved.

"Passavant wanted to be confident that the new bulding would be structurally sound in every respect for many years to come," said Baverso. "INSULBAR® thermal barrier not only met those requirements but also provided the CRF factor important for the new ICU units."

INSULBAR® is a revolutionary insulation thermal barrier consisting of polyamide 6/6 nylon reinforced with glass fibers. It provides unexcelled design versatility, thermal efficiency and improved structural integrity.
