Healthy:
Our cellulose insulation is Non-toxic: It does
not off-gas. It doesn’t decompose. You could eat it if you
wanted to.
Mold and Mildew Resistant: Boric acid, a mineral
also used in eye drops, is added to our cellulose, which virtually
eliminates mold and mildew. In addition, because of the way it’s
installed, cellulose insulation reduces air movement in the walls,
which is the cause of most moisture (condensation) in the walls which
leads to mold growth.
Fire Retardant: Cellulose insulation is an approved part of
the 46 UL-Approved Firewall Design. Our cellulose slows
fires. In rural areas this can allow the fire department the time
it needs to save a home. Unlike foam cellulose insulation
produces no toxic smoke when exposed to fire. It can also be used
between floors and in interior walls for added protection, and sound
control.
Sound Controlling: You know the sound of children’s feet
pounding on the floor above you, or a TV when you want to sleep?
Cellulose insulation effectively dampens sound from the street and can
be used between floors and in interior walls.
More Comfortable, Even Heat: Because cellulose
insulation completely fills the bays or cavities when correctly
installed air movement is reduced. This means fewer cold spots and
drafts. You won't find your indoor winter air filtered through mice or
mold infested fiberglass on it's way to your lungs as there is no air
movement through the material.
Wealthy:
Our cellulose insulation can reduce heating costs by up to
40% in new construction. We’re so sure that the
manufacturer, Nu-Wool guarantees it. Using detailed blueprints
before construction begins, Nu-Wool offers homebuyers a three year
guarantee on the amount of energy bills when Nu-Wool is properly
installed by a certified Nu-Wool contractor. You will probably
also need a smaller Heating and cooling system which we can help you
size.
Existing buildings can also be insulated.
Wise:
We’ve all been heating about global warming and greenhouse
gases. Did you know that buildings produce 48% of all greenhouse gases
and 1/3 of the energy used in the US today? By properly insualting your
house you are not only reducing the amount of fuel you use but also
helping the planet. Our insulation is made from recycled newspaper and
is installed with virtually no waste. It is produced locally so it has
low embodied energy. The production creates virtually no emissions.
Manufacturing fiberglass for just one home generates over 1,200 pounds
of carbon dioxide and this doesn't take into account all of the energy
that a poorly insulated home will use. Most importantly,
cellulose insulation just plain works. It won't burn or rot, you won't
find mold or mice in it and it is cheaper to heat and cool your home.
Simply put, it's the best way to insulate.

Although
we'd gotten a lower quote, when Jonathan came to do the estimate we
could tell he had much more attention to detail. We are so pleased with
the job Cellu-Spray did!
