Origin of a Great Idea

Origin of a Great Idea

• 1982

• TAMU student

• Moving

Problem

• Attic temp heats and cools entire house

• Acts like a blast furnace during summer

Problem

• Must control attic temp!

• Insulate?

• Keep heat out during summer cool inside

• Keep cold out during winter warmth inside

• Save money thru energy savings

• Save ozone layer?

• Help eliminate green house gases

Origin of a Great Idea

• Now that I know about the problem, how can it be fixed?

A Great Idea Stalls

• 1983 – Patent search

• 1932 – Conflict

A Great Idea Revisited

• 2002

– Surely there has to be a way to reach the goal!

A Great Idea Reborn

• August 2005 – Patent issued for hail

damage prevention AND• insulation• sound barrier• mold and fungus retardation• fire retardation

All testing preformed following UL and ASTM specifications. All labs UL and ASTM certified.
