We are in the process of setting up a laboratory for roof core sample drying and weighing, to determine moisture by weight and volume. As part of our plan, we are working on a display board which will contain samples of all known insulation and membrane materials. I would be most grateful if your firm could furnish a small sam ple of the BUR materials which you handle, to enable us to achieve our goal, which is to educate our customers on characteristics and effec tiveness of various insulation materials. We are also Involved in Energy Audits, and provide information to our customers on the effec tiveness of their existing roof insulation. Again, I will state, that I will be most appreciative of whatever assistance your firm can provide to me at this time. HLF/bh / BIRD 013434
