Science
The science of a resilient envelope.
Our mission is to save lives, money and property in an environmentally responsible way by protecting structures with revolutionary fireproof insulation.
What does ClimaVault™ do that other insulation can’t?
It is a fireproof, inorganic insulation that combines high R-value thermal performance, sound attenuation, pest resistance, zero off-gassing and zero VOCs. Every claim is backed by independent lab testing.
Why aren’t sprinklers and fire-resistant products enough?
They offer marginal protection in a wildfire. Water-based systems fail under extreme conditions and do nothing for contents. Existing structures, historic buildings, museums, schools and hospitals are left exposed.
Why is the problem getting worse?
Conventional insulation releases toxic gases when it chars. California sees thousands of wildfires a year and billions in losses, insurers are leaving, and climate change, water shortages and development expansion compound the risk.
“A ‘green building’ with potentially hazardous insulation isn’t a green building at all.”

The burn test.
A real structure. Left half un-insulated, right half ClimaVault™. 1,600 °F on the left; the right side never exceeded 120 °F.
