Lapolla and ABC's "Extreme Makeover: Home Edition" Erie, PA Project
Ward Family Home Episode Airs Sunday, December 13, 2009 at 8/7c on ABC
HOUSTON, TX--(Marketwire - December 11, 2009) - Lapolla Industries, Inc. (OTCBB: LPAD)
("Lapolla") is 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.
With the rampant disrepair of a crumbling two-story home -- including a
cracked foundation, a leaky roof, peeling walls and a faulty sewage line --
it was apparent to Maleno Development and the "Extreme Makeover: Home
Edition" team that Clara Ward of Erie, PA needed a new energy-efficient
home. Lapolla donated the spray foam insulation material, an important
building component that contributes to the sustainability of a home.
Spray foam insulation is a spray-applied thermal insulation material used
in wall cavities, floor assemblies, ceiling assemblies, and in attic and
crawl space applications. When properly installed, this advanced
insulation system leads to energy efficiency, improved occupant comfort, a
cleaner indoor environment, and greater noise reduction for building and
home owners.
"It is important that we contribute to the energy-efficiency of this home,"
stated Douglas J. Kramer, president and chief executive officer of Lapolla.
"Clara and her family will come home to a much larger home and we need to
make her energy bills more affordable. This is accomplished by creating a
conditioned space for the HVAC system in the attic and sealing the building
envelope to minimize air exchange in and out of the home."
The spray foam insulation applicator that donated the time to complete the
Ward family home was Bauer Specialty. Their contributions will allow the
family to enjoy the benefits of low energy costs and a healthier indoor
environment.
