Elemental Coatings

The Office of Energy Efficiency & Renewable Energy has requested a 114% YOY increase in and intergovernmental programs to improve the resilience of homes and buildings in the U.S.

This comes as a response to the devastation seen to homes and businesses after the February storm that set a new record for largest area of the U.S. ever blanketed by snow – 73% of the nation. The one week onslaught of cold weather resulted in $18 Billion dollars’ worth of damage to homes and businesses.

Important preparations to protect from ice and snow include: protecting pipes and roofs, cleaning gutters, sealing windows and doors, changing furnace filters, removing tree branches, and having the fireplace inspected.

As a developer of anti-icing coatings, we have a role to play in the improved resiliency of the American infrastructure and we look forward to taking part in these changes.
