Architectural Coatings
At BHL we offer
esthetics, durability and insulation for everything from urban
buildings to your
home. Our products of choice are K-13™ insulation and SonaSpray™
acoustical texture from
Can-Cell Industries (http://can-cell.com).
K-13™ work for your project requirements be it for insulation
(R-value), noise reduction (NRC),
color, durability, condensation control, texture, and aesthetics.
SonaSpray™ provides an attractive, high performance solution to
acoustical and lighting design
objectives in both new construction and renovation projects. Typical
installations include schools,
churches, auditoriums, passenger terminals, libraries, detention
facilities, cafeterias, offices,
hotels and condominiums.

Six Standard Colours or Your Own!
Our architectural
coatings are especially attractive as surface finish in new
construction as well as
renovation projects. We provide six standards colours you can choose
from but also let you
choose custom colours that match your project.
Applied to Any Common Surface
We
can apply our coatings to virtually any surface configuration of wood,
steel, concrete, glass
and other common constructions surfaces.
Acts as Insulator
"K-13™
creates dead air spaces between and within its hollow fibers giving it
excellent insulator
properties. In addition, since K-13™ fibers are sprayed-in-place, they
fill cracks, seams and
voids, forming a monolithic coating over the substrate which reduces
air infiltration. K-13™ has
no voids or compressed areas and thus doesn’t reduce thermal efficiency
resulting in more
effective in-place product with exceptionally low heat transfer
characteristics.
The patented adhesive utilized in the installation of K-13™ not only
does it provide unparalleled
strength but it also provides R-values of 3 to 19.
Fire Resistance
K-13™
has been recognized by Factory Mutual Research Corporation for low fire
hazard
properties, ability to reduce surface burning rate wood and cellulosic
fiber building materials,
ability to reduce surface burning rate of low melting, combustible
cellular plastic building
materials and to protect their dimensional stability for a brief
period, etc. which demonstrates that
K-13™ is not only an aesthetic coating but also fire resistant. For

Acoustical Properties
The
resilient fibers of K-13™ absorb sound energy instead of reflecting it,
reducing reverberation
time and making speech and music more intelligible. Excessive noise is
eliminated with the
application of K-13™ while greatly improving ambient sound quality in a
wide variety of building
projects including auditoriums, sports facilities, detention
facilities, television and sound studios,
convention centers and parking garages.
If sound reduction is of high importance to your project, then
SonaSpray™ is the solution for you.
SonaSpray™, as tested by a NVLAP accredited acoustical laboratory per
ASTM C-423, provides
an exceptionally high noise reduction coefficient (NRC). A typical
installation of 1/2" thick on solid
backing, has an unequalled NRC of .65. At its maximum recommended
thickness of 1", the NRC
is .90
Controls Condensation
For
areas such as indoor pools and ice arenas, K-13 aids in condensation
control. The proper
combination of K-13 and ventilation prevents condensation on metal,
concrete and other
surfaces. K-13 actually reduces ventilation requirements, saving in
both the ventilation equipment
investment and operating costs.
