Lapolla and ABC's "Extreme Makeover: Home Edition" Springfield, MO Project
Hamilton Family Home Episode Airs Sunday, October 4, 2009 at 8/7c on ABC
HOUSTON, TX--(Marketwire - October 1, 2009) - Lapolla Industries, Inc. (OTCBB: LPAD)
("Lapolla"), a Houston-based manufacturer and supplier of spray foam
insulation, coatings, and equipment designed to reduce energy consumption
in the residential and commercial markets, for both new construction and
retrofit applications, today announced its participation in the "Extreme
Makeover: Home Edition" project in Springfield, Missouri for the ABC
Television Network. The Emmy Award winning show features the Hamilton
family home and is scheduled to air this Sunday, October 4, 2009 at 8/7c on
ABC.
When the Hamilton family instantly doubled in size, the approximately 800
sq. ft. home did not meet the needs of this loving family. The "Extreme
Makeover: Home Edition" team and Millstone Custom Homes LLC of Missouri
designed a new home for the Hamilton family that would create an
environment for the Hamilton children to flourish. The "Extreme Makeover"
Senior Producer, Diane Korman, contacted Lapolla to help provide a solution
for a high performance insulation system that would deliver energy cost
savings as well as superior air quality within the home. Lapolla quickly
stepped up and facilitated the spray foam insulation for the home at no
cost to the family.
Douglas J. Kramer, CEO and President of Lapolla, commented, "This project
allowed Lapolla to contribute to the community as well as to provide the
Hamilton family with the benefits of spray foam technology and the
opportunity to gain the life long advantages of a spray foam insulated
home."
Spray foam is one of the only insulation materials that can effectively
seal the perimeter of a structure to minimize air leakage which accounts
for as much as 40% of energy loss, stopping conditioned air from escaping,
and reducing the load on the mechanical systems, leading to energy savings.
Keeping unconditioned air from entering the home improves indoor air
quality by limiting outdoor pollutants from entering the conditioned space.
Indoor air quality is a major health concern. Studies conducted by the U.S.
Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and others show that indoor
environments sometimes can have levels of pollutants that are actually
higher than levels found outside.
InsulTech Spray Foam Insulation, a Lapolla customer and local spray foam
contracting company, donated their professional expertise and the labor
required to insulate the 3,800 sq. ft. home. With three onsite spray foam
crews spraying the material, the Hamilton home was completely insulated
within approximately five hours.
"Working with the design team and the local spray foam applicator was a
privilege," said Keith VanStavern, Lapolla's Southern National Sales
Manager. "We had the pleasure of getting to know the volunteers and
meeting members of the Hamilton family. We are very proud to participate
with this build and make a difference to a deserving family."
