September 2009 Archives

We recently announced an exciting new partnership with the franchise Handyman Matters. Their network of 122 franchisees (and growing) will be promoting Nansulate® insulation and mold resistance coatings to their residential and commercial clients for reducing energy costs and saving money. We are very excited about working with Handyman Matters for many reasons. They are a business model that encourages people to become entrepreneurs, that offers a valuable service to consumers and businesses looking for a reliable handyman for a variety of maintenance needs, and they are seeking to further increase the business of their franchisees by introducing a green initiative where Handyman Matters franchise owners can increase their business by offering green and sustainable services, energy saving upgrades, and most importantly, reduced energy bills.

Handyman Matters is a well respected company and the benefit to us, in addition to increased sales of Nansulate® and the ability to help more people save energy is that we can better assist our customers who are seeking someone to apply the coating for them by referring them to one of the Handyman Matters Franchisees. We will be adding to our site in the coming weeks, a 'Find a Handyman' page where our customers will be able to search for the handyman closest to them.

This fall you will see more integration of our partnership, such as Handyman Matters Tips in our customer email newsletters, and we will be supplying them with Nansulate® energy saving tips as well for theirs, just to name one. We are looking forward to a blossoming partnership between our companies that benefits us all and that allows more and more people to easily save money on energy costs by using the next generation of insulation.

The Benefits Are Clear

Our newest coating, Nansulate® Crystal clear insulating roof coating has been out barely over a month, and the reception has been tremendous. We've been talking with painting contractors, roofing contractors and homeowners who are thrilled to know that there is a 'cool rool' coating that is clear, so they can save energy and money without painting their roof white. I've heard from several residential painting contractors who said they are very pleased to finally have a roof insulation coating for their residential customers. They are also interested in adding green initiatives and energy saving technology to the services they offer their customers, allowing them to branch out.

Cool roof advertising has been on the rise, and insulating roof coatings are getting more and more press, as people like Steven Chu, the US Secretary of Energy and a Nobel prize-winning scientist mention the benefits. Secretary Chu stated that the simple act of painting roofs white could have a dramatic impact on the amount of energy used to keep buildings comfortable and directly reduce global warming. We also understand that, realistically, people and companies who have spent the extra money for the aesthetic benefits of beautiful clay, slate or concrete tile roofs or decorative asphalt or wood shingle roofs are not going to paint them white, so we went a step further by offering a clear energy saving roof coating.
 
Nansulate® Crystal, a product based on our award winning and patented energy saving technology proven effective in both residential and industrial applications worldwide, is clear and can be easily applied over colored tile, barrel tile, clay tile, slate, and shingle roofs without changing the appearance, allowing the beauty of the roof to remain intact, while reducing energy costs for heating and cooling by reducing heat transfer and insulating. The additional benefit is it also reduces the growth of mold, mildew and algae on roofs, therefore keeping them cleaner and looking new for many years.
