Hyperlink Policy <\/strong><\/p>\n

NIA does not endorse websites that link to any of NIA\u2019s websites. NIA will not be held liable for the content of any site to or from which its sites are hyperlinked. NIA encourages anyone interested in mechanical insulation to link to http:\/\/www.insulation.org <\/u>but discourages sites that are concerned only with the residential sector of the insulation market, as this does not coincide with NIA\u2019s mission. NIA provides members with NIA logos they may opt to use for the purpose of linking from their websites; please visit the members only section of the site for more details. Special exemptions to this policy can only be granted by the Executive Vice President\/CEO.<\/p>\n
