Cellulose insulation established its reputation in the last few decades as a superior product for weatherization and insulation upgrades of existing buildings. This reputation was no accident. The robust gap sealing characteristics of cellulose provide the perfect solution for drafty older buildings with balloon framing, diagonal bracing, and a wide range of other challenging framing configurations. Using a variety of blowing hoses and specialized "fill tubes," a cellulose installer can snake the material into more than just wall bays. Knee wall floors, sloped ceilings, cantilevers, and other prominent heat loss framing junctures can be easily accessed, and then dense packed, contributing significantly to whole house comfort and enhanced energy efficiency. At the same time, more and more savvy builders and insulation contractors have been applying the benefits of cellulose insulation to new construction projects, especially in green building applications. Today's modern building assemblies enclose an increasing amount of mechanical and cable system penetrations that need to be sealed. Cellulose provides the one step insulation and air sealing solution. Improved ComfortBetter Energy EfficiencyHealthier Environment Life Time of Savings Lower Energy Bills
There are 46 million under insulated homes in the United States, according to the Harvard University School of Public Health. "Is yours one of them?"
