Homepath Products White Paper Proposes Beneficial Wiring Change for Spray Foam Insulation
"Energy Efficiency and Easier Home Electronics Upgrades: Integrating Cable Pathways in Advanced Insulation" is a new free white paper from Homepath Products LLC, producer of the patent pending eXapath™ in-wall low voltage cabling system for new home construction and renovation. The white paper explains that pre-installing cabling pathways complements the use of and solves a problem created by energy-efficient foam wall insulation.
Essex, CT (PRWEB) May 4, 2009 -- Homepath Products today published "Energy Efficiency and Easier Home Electronics Upgrade: Integrating Cable Pathways in Advanced Insulation", a white paper available from the company's website. The paper explains that recent advances in spray foam insulation have created significant wiring challenges, which can be remedied through the use of integrated cabling pathway systems.
The eXapath in-wall cable pathway system provides cabling flexibility while promoting energy conserving insulation practices.
In the paper, the company says that using new materials and methods, insulation contractors completely fill voids within the stud cavities of external and internal walls. Although this represents a significant development for minimizing convection, wiring through the solidified foam can become a major headache. Besides making low voltage wiring difficult, foam insulation also locks in obsolescing wires.
Because consumer electronics technologies progress so quickly, the cabling required to support new data-rich devices continually evolves, the paper states. The paper also says that "Even the most ardent promoter of the latest generation of structured wiring cannot assure homeowners that the latest and greatest is the last and most advanced cabling solution." According to Homepath Products, current industry practice is to install expensive cable everywhere it might possibly be needed based on today's best guess of what and where that may be; however, doing so offers no assurance that the cables installed will be suitable for eventual applications and devices. To remedy this problem, the company proposes that "To capture the long term value provided by superior insulation without locking in obsolescent cabling, it is now time to modify how homes are built." Homepath Products suggests that preinstalling a system of cabling pathways will save homeowners time, money and aggravation by making homes readily adaptable to future wiring and broadband needs. With eXapath, adding or upgrading Cat5, Cat6, coaxial, fiber optic, security, audio or automation wiring is simple and practical.
The paper also describes the eXapath™ in-wall cable pathway system, which provides a cost-effective way to create reusable cabling channels in connection with solid, spray foam insulation.
