Environmentally Friendly
If all the paper currently being put into landfills was converted to Cellulose insulation, it would save approximately 7,030,000 metric tons of CO2 emissions per year. That is the equivalent of taking all the cars off the road in New Mexico and Nevada. Cellulose takes less energy to make than any other insulation material. This is often referred to as “Embodied Energy” and calculates the total energy required to transport raw materials, manufacture and distribute the product. Fiberglass has up to 10 times more embodied energy than cellulose products have even more. A Thermally Efficient & Cost Effective Solution
Air leakage through cracks, voids, and gaps is important, responsible for approximately one-third of an average home’s heat loss. Heat and comfort are also lost through convection; when drafty currents of air within the house, wall cavities or attics, move heat to other locations. Cellulose is a superb air-blocker. Tightly packed cellulose provides a thermally efficient, cost effective, and comfortable solution. Cellulose Keeps Your Family Safe
Cellulose Insulation Increases Burn Resistance By 50% ~ Click for larger image Cellulose insulation actually helps make homes safer by providing up to 50% better fire resistance than fiberglass. In practical terms, this means that occupants have more time to reach safety in case of fire. Unlike fiberglass, it greatly restricts the amount of oxygen available to support combustion. | |
