At Echo Pond, we’re building comfort into the walls: mineral wool batts (ROCKWOOL) for healthy, stable thermal and acoustic performance, a smart vapor retarder (INTELLO Plus) for drying potential, and obsessive air-sealing at every penetration. We tie it all together into a continuous control layer—from Stego under-slab up the walls and across the roof—so the house is tighter, quieter, and needs less HVAC to feel great.
