Thermal
Cellulose insulation provides a thermal barrier 40%
better than conventional insulation. Fiberglass loses
its effectiveness just when you need it the most - when
the temperature drops below freezing - while cellulose
continues to retain the heat in your home or building,
no matter how cold it gets. Our dense-pack or spray-in
applications provide a tight, seamless thermal barrier
without any of the gaps and voids you get with conventional
insulation.
Saves Money
- As a superior thermal and air barrier, cellulose
insulation allows the architect or builder to downsize
the HVAC equipment, which brings building costs down.
- As an effective fire-retardant material, cellulose
actually requires less sheet rock in thefirewall assemblies,
reducing construction costs.
- As an effective vapor retarder, the outstanding
moisture management properties of cellulose protect
your home from rot, mold, and decay.
- As an insect and vermin deterrent, cellulose helps
to protect your home from pest damage and infestation.
Higher R-value
The R-value of fiberglass insulation plummets at temperatures
below freezing. Cellulose insulation maintains it's
effectiveness and higher R-value at lower temperatures.
Air-Retardant
Cellulose insulation is much denser than similar fiberglass
products; this greater mass, with its inter-locking
fibers, blocks air more effectively than fiberglass
batts. Cellulose completely fills the cavities in installations,
eliminating the voids and gaps common with batts, which
allow convective heat transfer. Unlike fiberglass, cellulose
insulation ensures a tight, energy efficient envelope
and lower overall heating and cooling costs.
