Marine Insulation
We design and install custom insulation systems for marine environments, protecting against heat, fire, and noise. Our solutions meet USCG, ABS, and BV certification standards for commercial and recreational vessels. With specialized materials like Delta T Marine by Mascoat, we provide thermal protection for exhaust systems, refrigeration units, and acoustic control applications.
Custom Fabrication
Using advanced waterjet technology, we cut and shape insulation materials to exact specifications. Our ISO 9001-certified process ensures precise component manufacturing for both marine and land-based insulation projects. This automated approach optimizes material usage while maintaining tight tolerances for complex installations.
Onsite Installation
Our experienced technicians install thermal, exhaust, refrigeration, and sound insulation systems directly on vessels. We handle complete projects from initial assessment to final installation, or ship pre-fabricated components for customer installation by crew members or other professionals.
Infrared Inspection
We use infrared thermography to identify heat transfer issues in marine and industrial settings. This non-contact diagnostic tool detects temperature anomalies in electrical systems, mechanical components, and insulation layers, helping develop targeted energy efficiency solutions that may qualify for utility rebates.
In-Voyage Services
Our specialized team performs insulation repairs and upgrades on operating cruise ships. We replace exhaust, thermal, and refrigeration insulation systems during scheduled port stops, minimizing vessel downtime while maintaining safety and performance standards for critical onboard systems.

Report
I had some foam and steel Waterjet cut here for a furniture project. They did a fantastic job, were on time with deliverables, explained the cutting limitations to me (acceptable materials, curf etc) and even gave me a tour of their super industrial facility. Most of their business is B2B so don't expect a red carpet, although I saw they do everything from farmers market glass earrings to 3" thick titanium for large aircraft. It's a great resource if you are looking to get glass, wood, metal, foam or even concrete cut. I will be using them again for a steel fireplace project in the
