WESTERN FIBER STABILIZED CELLULOSE INSULATION |
|
|
|
|
The
addition of an acrylic binder to cellulose has resulted in a sprayed-in
insulation product with superior performance and many environmental and
health benefits over conventional insulation. Its price per square foot
and cubic foot is increasingly competative with other alternative
insulation materials and techniques. |

|
Environmental
Impact
- Cellulose can
be manufactured locally, using 100% recycled cardboard and 10 to 50
times LESS energy than other insulations.
- No hazardous
chemicals are used or produced in the manufacturing process.
- Insulation
can be recycled at the end of a building's life.
|
|
|
Health
- Completely
non-carcinogenic and non-toxic, containing no formaldehyde, no
asbestos, no fiberglass, no mineral wool, and no ammonium sulfate.
- Added borate
fire retardant naturally repels insects, while being completely safe
for humans. Borate is also a recognized mold inhibitor.
|
|
|
Safety
- Has a 2-hour
fire rating and has been approved as a fire stop.
- No toxic
chemicals are released in the event of a fire, greatly reducing
health risks or smoke damage.
|
|
|
Performance
- Increased
thermal performance provides greater heating and cooling retention,
with a significant reduction in energy costs, compared with
conventional methods.
- Reduces
uncontrolled air infiltration and convection up to 50% better than
conventional insulations.
- Sprayed
cellulose encapsulates all wiring and plumbing which prevents
insulation voids and eliminates condensation.
- Should
moisture be introduced, the natural capillary action of cellulose
absorbs and releases it, holding it in suspension until natural
drying can occur.
- Superior
sound absorbing qualities of the long, hollow, interlocking
cellulose fibers virtually eliminate exterior noise, plumbing noise
and interior echoing.
