Central Concourse Hobby Airport - Houston, TX PDF (42 Kb)
Project	Architects	Details
The design team for the new Central Concourse for Hobby airport in Houston faced a dilemma on how to insulate the raised slab of the terminal. The underside of the terminal would have to be treated with some kind of versatile and effective insulation to prevent energy loss between the conditioned space and unconditioned tarmac below. K-13 was chosen because its seamless application provides a more efficient thermal performance. Additionally, white K-13 has a light reflectivity of 73 which aided in the lighting design. K-13 utilizes a patented adhesive system that provides a strong, durable bond to virtually any substrate including concrete, metal, wood, glass, styrofoam and urethane. This adhesive system also allows K-13 to be installed four or more inches thick in one application, greatly reducing the installation time. The versatility of K-13 to conform to any surface configuration eliminates voids, gaps and compressions that can occur with prefabricated insulation. This monolithic coating results in the outstanding field performance of K- 13.
