Insulation
As your insulation installation service resource, Alcal will evaluate various options to achieve the best energy efficiency improvements for your home. Whether you’re removing old contaminated insulation, air sealing the attic floor and then adding insulation to your attic, finishing a basement, building an addition, modifying an under-insulated bonus room, or adding acoustic insulation for sound control, Alcal has the right insulation types and products to meet your needs!
Batt insulation is fiberglass blanket insulation that comes in rolls or sheets and designed for easy handling. It is used between framings such as studs and joists. Batts are available in a variety of lengths, widths, and R-values.
Loose fill insulation is blown-in with a machine directly into the attic. Blowing in insulation is faster than installing batts and offers better coverage by completely covering the attic floor.
Spray polyurethane foam (SPF) is a spray-applied plastic that can form a continuous insulation and air-sealing barrier on walls, roofs, around corners, and on all contoured surfaces. Spray foam insulation is known to resist heat transfer extremely well and offers a highly effective solution for reducing unwanted air infiltration through cracks, seams, and joints.
Radiant Barrier Foil is a layer of metalized film facing an airspace and is installed inside the envelope of a building, usually on the bottom face of the roof rafter or between the rafters against the roof sheathing. Radiant barrier foil reflects electromagnetic radiant heat energy from the sun and dramatically reduces the amount of heat gain and heat build up in attics, improving the summertime energy efficiency performance of most homes.
Rigid Insulation is a building material used to provide thermal resistance to walls, foundations, and roofs. It is available in formed or extruded sheets varying sizes, which are made from polystyrene or polyurethane. This polyisocyanurate insulation board helps improve the energy efficiency of a home by keeping cold or hot air from penetrating the walls.
Insulation Removal Alcal provides professional and clean attic insulation removal services. We recommend removing old insulation only when it has fire damage, water damage, or is heavily infested with rodents.
Retrofit Insulation is a good way to lower your energy bills and make your home more comfortable is installing retrofit insulation and making sure your home is properly air sealed. Re-insulating your home can make it a lot more energy-efficient and help you save money.

Firestop & Fireproofing
Firestopping is a physical barrier designed to prevent the spread of flames, deadly gases and toxic smoke through the openings created during building upgrades and the installation of electrical, communications, plumbing, and ventilation systems. These barriers can also fill breaches in fire-resistant walls and floor assemblies.
Firestopping at Alcal can take several forms but is most commonly used for repairing a system through penetration, such as a pipe through a fire-rated wall. Firestopping often consists of workable materials that fill gaps between conduits, wires, pipes, and walls as they pass between rooms.
Alcal is qualified to perform most contemporary firestopping applications. As a certified installer of all leading brands, Alcal has built a reputation for high-quality installations and responsive service. Alcal is not only a trusted source for general contractors but often performs firestop work for other sub-contractors so they can focus on their core products and services

Expansion Joint System
An expansion joint is an assembly designed to safely absorb the heat or heat loss-induced expansion and contraction of various construction materials including absorbing vibration and allowing movement due to ground settlement or earthquakes. They are commonly found between sections of sidewalks, bridges, railway tracks, piping systems, ships and other structures.
We believe each expansion joint system is unique and requires individual attention to ensure pleasing aesthetics, proper durability and long-term performance. Our company has vast experience in engineering, estimating and installing interior and exterior expansion joint systems to your exacting specifications.
