The ability to publicly convey a strong message regarding the importance of energy conservation, safety, and efficiency is a key benefit to association membership. Through its membership, Amity is able to stress the benefits of thermal insulation, and encourage others to work responsibly.
There are three types of business that make up the associations in the insulation industry: contractors, distributors, and manufacturers. Although these groups share the common goal of strengthening the insulation industry, there are unique challenges that each group faces. Coming together collectively through an association allows for a transfer of information that benefits not only members but also companies in other sectors of the economy.
Industry structure
Fort McMurray is one of Alberta’s busiest oil and gas project locations, and, as a result, the need for energy conservation in the area is especially high. Projects in this busy part of the province start with the corporate end user’s engineering and design teams, who contact a group of contractors for estimates on project work. Once the corporate end user choses the contractor that will work on the project, distributors like Amity become involved, carefully sourcing material from select manufacturers and assembling the material orders required by the contractor for project completion. The contractor and end user ultimately work together to ensure the project is operating viably and in an environmentally efficient manner. When the insulation materials arrive on site, the contractor sets about the installation work with the help of qualified insulation trades.
Amity Insulation provides material for industrial and commercial projects of all sizes.

FEATURED PRODUCTS
Powerblanket
The Powerblanket safeguards essential equipment and fluids, shielding them from freezing or overheating. It effectively averts project delays and extra expenses linked to unfavorable conditions by ensuring complete temperature management. From freeze protection to process heating, Powerblanket has you covered.
Spacer Wrap PTFE
Spacer Wrap PTFE allows you to establish a non-contact insulation system by creating a unified and consistent air gap between the insulation and the process pipe. This system separates the insulation system (a common source of water infiltration) and the process pipe. The air gap prevents any moisture ingress from coming into direct contact with the pipe. The Spacer Wrap works with all types of insulation and in various applications.
