Typical Insulation Install

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.

Environmental Impact

• Cellulose can be manufactured locally, using 100% recycled cardboard and 10 to 50 times LESS imbedded energy than other insulations.
• No hazardous chemicals are used or produced in the manufacturing process.
• Insulation material 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

• Thermal resistance of R-3.8 per inch provides greater heating and cooling retention, with a significant reduction in energy costs compared with conventional methods.
• An effective air barrier – 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.
