IIC and FIIC are measures of how soundproof a material is, but there’s a slight difference between the two terms. Impact Insulation Class (IIC) is the lab rating of a material’s sound resistance. Field Impact Insulation Class (FIIC) is a more accurate on-site test that takes the combined soundproofing materials into account. These measures are both based on how well the chosen material reduces impact noises like footfall, scraping, jumping, etc. With a higher IIC or FIIC (multifamily buildings want to be around 55 FIIC), there’s a higher level of acoustic insulation in a material, which means that sounds are significantly reduced.

Spray foam, fiberglass, and cellulose are all great options for insulating a house or commercial building. But it’s important to know the differences between each type of insulation and, figure out what your structure needs before you request services from Structis:

• Spray Foam Insulation – Ideal for applying around small gaps, crevices, and cracks, spray foam dries quickly and is the sturdiest, highest quality option for insulating a building.
• Fiberglass Insulation – The most popular, affordable selection, fiberglass is a great choice to insulate any structure, but it doesn’t hold up nearly as long as spray foam.
• Cellulose Insulation – Perfect for property owners that value safe, recycled, and environmentally-friendly materials, cellulose is a great option to insulate your home or building.

Cellular concrete is a type of concrete that is made using Portland Cement, water, and a preformed foam. The foam is combined with the cement slurry using a static mixer. The resulting concrete is lightweight, very flowable, and stable with virtually no bleed water.

A leaky basement can cause even bigger problems in the future if the best preventative measures aren’t taken. Even if your building isn’t in a flood-prone area, there’s always a chance for moisture to trickle in and cause problems down the line. While you don’t have to waterproof your building, it can save you money in the long run by preventing water damage.
