	ICA is a full-service provider of insulation products for new and existing facilities ranging from warehouses to ice arenas. ICA offers a variety of insulation systems, with the Energy Miser® as the premier insulation system which has been ASTM C 1363 Hot-Box Tested for in-place thermal performance. These insulation systems are energy efficient, Class A fire rated and are aesthetically pleasing, offering up to 85% light reflectivity. Energy Miser® Insulated Ceiling & Wall System: As ICA's premier insulation system, the Energy Miser® System offers maximum utility savings, an aesthetically pleasing look and improved acoustical performance. The Energy Miser® System is also independently guarded hot box tested for in-place thermal performance. The Energy Miser® System has a lower layer of fiberglass blanket insulation that is installed below the purlins and/or structural steel, thereby encapsulating the bottom of the purlins. This eliminates the majority of the thermal bridging that occurs in a structure. Energy Saver Insulated Ceiling and Wall System: This high R-value insulation system consists of a white support fabric that is fastened to the inside of the purlins and girts in a metal building and is supported by banding. The insulation is installed on top of the fabric, in between the purlins and over the top of the purlins. ICA's Reflective Fabric Ceiling: This fabric only system will cover unsightly old and torn up insulation that is already installed between or above the purlins. The fabric is held in place by a cable system and can be dropped down to cover all of the existing steel to show a clean white interior finish. Energy Saver Reflective Fabric Ceiling: This system is a good way to hide old or torn up insulation that has been installed above the purlins. The overall appearance of a facility can be improved dramatically without the cost of additional insulation. The fabric can only be attached to the bottom of the purlins and is held in place by white steel banding
