Knowing some of the advantages of spray insulation can save you a bundle of money in the long run.  Learn some of these benefits now.

Heat loss from your house might seem a massive jolt to your domestic budget. Imagine having your heating system work overtime just because you are not warm enough. If you do that, you will end up calling a heating repair man to fix your furnace. Yet, to keep yourself safe from repair costs, and keep the heat inside your house, you need to insulate it well through different methods. One such method is spray cellulose insulation. This might look like an expensive option to you, but when you look at the long term benefits, you are going to pat your own back for making such a wise decision.  T.A.P. spray insulation is a green product and will help with pest control, insulation and noise reduction from room to room and outdoors.

The first benefit of spray insulation is for the environment. Like any other insulating system, cellulose insulation keeps the heat inside your house and doesn’t let it escape (cavity wall insulation). This type of insulation is more energy efficient than other methods because it uses insulating fibers, a composition of which is 80% post-consumer recycled newspapers. Similarly, the energy involved in making these fibers is comparatively lesser than traditional fiberglass or rock wools. This method is also energy efficient because it does not involve any harmful emissions. Therefore, it is environment friendly.

Because cellulose insulation is sprayed, it ensures that there is no sagging or drooping like that in fiberglass batts. Complete coverage will mean that heat and air are not flowing from room to room. This will also be a precaution from any potential fires in the house. Moreover, this method of insulation also seals incoming wires and plumbing holes. Covering these small holes ensures that you are living comfortably during extreme warm and cold weather.

The sprayed cellulose insulation method is best used in open cavities in new constructions and cathedral-type wall and ceiling frames. This method uses water to bind the insulation with the surface. The adhesion provided by water is durable and hard because it does not require any netting or mesh wire. The bond complex becomes hard as it dries, and therefore it is self supporting. However, there may be a drawback here. Because of its adhesive components, it might not be very long lasting.

The cellulose method not only provides radiant insulation for the heat. It also offers the best sound insulation, thereby preventing noise pollution. This acoustic insulation will mean that you can relax in your house without exterior sounds (of traffic, constructions crews, etc.) bothering you. As for the heat insulation, the R-value of sprayed cellulose insulation is higher than that of fiberglass batts. The range of the R-value for fiberglass insulation is 2.2-4.0. On the other hand, cellulose insulation offers a range of 3.6-4.0 R-value.

Other benefits of this method of spray T.A.P. insulation are related to the natural fire-retardant property. Because the fibers in this type of insulation mainly involve newspapers, the risk of it catching fire is high, but this green insulation comes with a fire retardant built right in.  So, to avoid this, boron is coated on the fibers during their make. This is a natural inhibitor of fire. Likewise, it also keeps away pests such as termites and mice. In all, insulating your house by this method is the right option you should select!

As you can see, spray insulation is the right decision to make when you are thinking of adding insulation or building a new home.

• ‘Green’ formulas to Boost Appraisal Values – One of the most common questions I get asked by real estate investors is how do you actually measure the value of going green? Energy-efficiency is nice in theory but if you can’t get an increase in your property’s value then why spend the money? In addition, most appraisers have little clue how to measure the value of energy-efficiency upgrades. There aren’t any national standards to go follow and very little data to reference. Luckily for all of us there are a few formulas, originally presented by Energy Star that you can use to compute the value of energy-efficient upgrades.

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

Don’t forget to T.A.P. into savings!  You get an energy credit when you use our Green Insulation. So as you can see there are many benefits to switching to green pest insulation.  Contact us with any questions or you want to get started. Call 505-293-PEST
