Is your insulation truly green insulation?

Green Insulation – Pest Insulation

This is an important question to ask yourself when making a permanent decision.  T.A.P. is green insulation, by the United States Green Builder Council standards.

It conforms to LEED requirements. With our insulation you can achieve sustainability with respect to the limits of our natural eco system.  With 87% recycled material you can be part of the ECO revolution and the eco friendly insulation revolution.

Less energy loss is the goal of all insulation but why not achieve more with your home.  With T.A.P. green insulation you improve five areas of your home with one insulation system and this includes crawlspace insulation.

Let’s discuss the advantages of a truly green insulation.

  • Noise!! The environment of your home includes more than temperature control, you must consider the whole picture when making your insulation choice. Noise reduction adds to your quality of life.  With T.A.P. you can cancel out up to one hundred decibel of noise.
  • Fire!! The biggest threat to your home.  With TAP you have the peace of mind knowing that your insulation can withstand a thousand degree open flame.  Maybe this will give you the time to save your loved ones and or precious memories that cannot be replaced.  Fire retardant.
  • Cancer!! You can avoid surrounding yourself and your family in known carcinogens and have faith that TAP (green insulation) has no carcinogens.  Also TAP has no formaldehyde, fiber glass or other harsh ingredients that will degrade air quality or raise other health concerns.
  • True R VALUE.  TAP inhibits all three ways to lose energy.
  • Conductive – stops transfer of heat through solid materials
  • Convection – stops transfer of heat thru moving air
  • Radiation – stops energy loss in the form of electromagnetic waves
  • Pest control – Natural boric acid is the active ingredient in the EPA registered T.A.P..  TAP helps home owners reduce chemical exposure of applied pesticides throughout the homes lifespan. EPA Specimen label and MSDS

The Best Pest Insulation is Green Insulation – T.A.P.

Best Pest Control Insulation

TAP is the results of a revolutionary merger of 2 well-revered technologies – natural cellulose insulation and natural borate pesticides – creating Thermal, Acoustical & Pest Control Insulation, the only stabilized pest control insulation, a green insulation product. TAP is a total pest management system and the best pest insulation on the market today.  You can use this product to cap existing insulation in attics.  You can also install this insulation in attics, crawl spaces, walls and use it in all new construction.. TAP pays for itself quickly in reduced energy costs (up to thirty eight%) and then continues to save you cash for the lifetime of the structure.

TAP is a natural fiber insulation.  It is treated with boric acid.  This makes this product the best pest insulation product due to the following properties:

  • fire retardant
  • thermally superior
  • environmentally friendly
  • sound deadening
  • and an incredible pest control insulation.

TAP is the sole stabilized insulation that will make pest control claims. TAP is registered with the U.S. EPA as a labeled pesticide.

How do they get the name TAP?
Thermal insulation is a material that includes a bunch of air filled cells or another way to look at it is it had a bunch of voids.  They are also it reflective surfaces, which will repel or retard the transfer of heat and cold..
Acoustical insulation retards the transmission of sound.
Pest Control insulation, while performing the first functions of thermal and acoustical, is labeled to control listed pests. Any insulation carrying the label of pest control must be registered with the US EPA and carry an EPA approved label.  This is by federal law.  Also the product must be registered with pest control authorities located in each state in that the product is manufactured or sold..

What are the energy and cash saving benefits?

TAP saves cash by decreasing energy bills. How will it do this?  It keeps your structure cooler when it is summertime and hotter when it is wintertime, it does not get any less complicated than that. The nice part is it will be comfortable all year round. Warm air moves readily through porous insulations, like rock and glass fibers. But TAP’s increased density retards this convective heat transfer, as well as conduction and radiation. Since there are not the leaks and drafts related to the ordinary insulation, heating and cooling systems don’t cycle as often and can be smaller, further saving money. Your house or building is going to maintain a more uniform temperature.  This temperature can be felt between floors and ceilings as well as upstairs and downstairs.  You will even feel this difference next to windows and doors.  Comfortable.  Comfort.  Conservation!

Sound absorbing benefits what are they?
TAP reduces outside noise such as lawn mowers and traffic and helps produce a peaceful home. Insulated interior walls scale back annoying noises (like toilets flushing and appliances running) within a house.

Best Pest control benefits what are these?
TAP will help control pests that get into your home. With normal insulation, annoying pests will breed and form colonies in the attic and behind walls, coming back out at nighttime, seeking food and water. More than simply annoying, they can severely damage the house. EPA labeled pest control insulation is what TAP is.  It has been treated with pure Boric Acid.. Although deadly to many insects, TAP is appropriate to be used around humans and pets. TAP eliminates self-grooming insects once they come in frequent contact with it. Insects cannot build up a tolerance to TAP, and it never needs re-treating. Be EPA labeled states that TAP helps to manage ants, silverfish, cockroaches, termites and many other pests.

What is this pest insulation made up of?
This product is all natural, it is permanent, and the great part is it’s environmentally friendly. TAP is green! Well, not in color, however TAP is permanent, created from all-natural Boric Acid and recycled newsprint, thus while you’re saving energy, you are conjointly conserving landfill space.

Is cellulose a fire hazard?
TAP truly makes homes safer in case of fire because it contains a fire retardant chemical. Ordinary fiberglass insulation will melt, making a chimney-like effect in a wall. TAP, with its fire-retardant characteristics, forms a charred surface barrier which limits the spread of fire.

Will TAP fit into the walls just like fiberglass will?

No, it’s even better! This is a Green Insulation an during the installation process this product forms a good fit in your walls or in your attic when applied.  It seeks out nooks and crannies filling the whole cavity to the top. You never will see this product being cut on the job site like fiberglass insulation is.  You will never find this product being stuffed into any space to try to fit behind pipes or other objects.  All this does is end up reducing the R-value. When you employ TAP the R-value stays in the insulation!  What this means is that that added value will stay in the house and can always be a permanent cash saver for you from now and into the future.
