Cellulose Insulation

      Using yesterday's news for a greener future!

 

Here’s Why:

  • Reduce Cooling and Heating Costs

  • Eliminate Drafts

  • Insulates hard-to-reach areas

  • High R-values

  • More effective in high temps

  • Fire resistant

  • Resists mildew and pests

  • Contains No Urea Formaldehyde

  • Reduce sound infiltration

Cellulose Insulation, made from recycled newspapers, dramatically improves the building envelope, creating a more comfortable indoor environment for the life of your home.  It completely and efficiently insulates and seals around penetrations through the building framework, such as electrical outlets and plumbing fixtures.  The blown-in cellulose seals cracks, crevices and seams of your home, giving you added protection from unwanted air drafts and damaging moisture.  It has been proven to be more effective than conventional insulation products.  On top of that it is very competitively priced, which leads to quicker payback times.

The blown-in cellulose has superior thermal properties that perform in even the most extreme hot or cold climates.  You save energy dollars year after year because cellulose insulation system delivers exceptionally good R-value for the life of the building.  Less heating or cooling is needed to control the temperature in your home. That's good for your budget and the environment!

Just for the Green of It

The Cellulose Insulation Manufacturers Association (CIMA) claims that insulating a 1500 ft2 house with cellulose will recycle as much newspaper as an individual will consume in 40 years. If all new homes were insulated with cellulose this would remove 3.2 million tons of newsprint from the nation’s waste stream each year.

Very High R-Value per Inch

Insulation is rated in terms of thermal resistance (R-value) which indicates the resistance to heat flow.  The higher the R-value, the greater the insulating effectiveness.  In terms of R-value, cellulose can be blow-in to varying depths increasing the R-value allowing you to reach maximum thermal resistance.

Reduces or Eliminates Convection Looping

Temperature differences between the unconditioned outside air and the conditioned living space can create convective looping (warm air rising, cold air falling). The impact of this looping degrades the R-value of most common forms of insulation and causes additional load on your home's heating and cooling system. The superior R-value reduces this temperature variance and the effect of convective looping, saving you big energy dollars.

Meets Building Code Requirements

Don't worry about durability. Cellulose is approved by all three national building codes and will perform for the life of your building. Its exceptional thermal and structural characteristics will save you, and generations to come, from the problems associated with the high cost of energy.

Controlling Air Infiltration

United States Government energy labs estimate that air infiltration wastes up to 40% of every home heating and cooling dollar. It is one of the country's most critical home energy problems. Unfortunately, most residential buildings were constructed before the scope of the problem was widely known. But today, new homes are being built utilizing the cellulose solution, right from the start. This is the latest money-saving technology for new home construction and the best option for existing buildings.
