Insulation Contractors Albuquerque – Blown Cellulose Insulation

Home insulation is such as important aspect of your house. In home insulation, the r-value is an indication of how well a material insulates and in part is what is going to give you your thermal performance. Home insulation is one of those things you usually only think about in winter, typically, right after you open your heating bill. Using only top quality insulation materials and the latest home insulation technology from the leading manufacturers, you can be assured that our highly trained and professional insulation contractor can meet all your home insulation needs.

Blown Cellulose Insulation – Cellulose Attic Insulation

blowncelluloseinsulation photoThe energy efficiency of most homes can be improved, substantially reducing costs and – perhaps even more important – creating a healthier and more comfortable home environment.  How do we improve home energy efficiency?  Increasing home insulation is perhaps the first answer that comes to mind, but it is only part of the answer. Improving our home’s energy efficiency involves an understanding of the “thermal envelope,”that barrier to heat loss (and summer heat gain) that protects and separates the indoor living space from the outdoor climate.

Heat naturally flows from a warm to a cool place.  In winter, heat flow is from indoors to outdoors; in summer, the movement is reversed. Home cellulose insulation has a resistance to heat flow, which is why an insulated home is warmer in winter and cooler in summer.  How well insulation works in resisting heat flow depends on where and how it is placed and on what and know how much insulation is used.  Being a homeowner and knowing this information, having certified insulation contractors do the insulating, will allow you to get the best performance out of your insulation.

Evaluating benefit of added insulation

The decision whether to add insulation will depend on a number of factors. A better insulated home is more comfortable and quiet. It will save you money on utility bills for years to come. And by using less energy to heat and cool your home, you reduce the negative impacts on the environment caused by energy use.

What is Tap Insulation – Eco Friendly Insulation

T·A·P is a natural fiber insulation treated with boric acid and other proprietary formulations to produce fire-retardant, environmentally-friendly, thermally superior, sound-deadening insulation with pest-controlling properties. T·A·P is acceptable for use around humans and pets, but deadly to cockroaches, silverfish, ants, termites, and many other crawling insects. T·A·P is a U. S. EPA-labeled pesticide.  T·A·P is the result of a revolutionary merger of two well-respected technologies—natural cellulose insulation and natural borate pesticides—creating Thermal, Acoustical & Pest Control Insulation, the only stabilized pest control insulation.

You should also not ignore your basement areas from the list of areas  that should receive home insulation measures as crawlspaces and home basements comprise numerous small openings which allow heat leakage. Recycled paper based home insulation materials work the best for filling up these gaps. Sealing these area’s up with some spray cellulose insulation can increase the R values.

Sprayed Cellulose Insulation – Cellulose vs. Fiberglass Insulation

Some advantages of cellulose insulation is for the environment. This is the first advantage.  Sprayed cellulose insulation is also referred as “green insulation” as it is made using recycled material like cardboard, paperboard, newsprint, and other such waste paper products or recycled content. It is very cost-effective and environmentally friendly.

Is it Blown or Sprayed Insulation

The blown in cellulose insulation method (cellulose (loose fill) is best used in open cavities in new construction buildings and cathedral-type wall and ceiling frames. Like any other insulating system, cellulose insulation keeps the heat inside your house and doesn’t let it escape (cavity wall insulation). This is the perfect green product commonly used for adding insulation to attics for the additional cost savings.

Get More R Value

As for the heat insulation, the r value is higher than that of fiberglass batts. This makes it possible to add r-30 cellulose insulation at 9 inch space as compared to a 13-inch space required by the fiberglass. However, you can still store more energy by adding a few more inches of blow-in cellulose insulation.

This product is not only effective in energy storage but will also help you save thousands of dollars in energy bills. It is 200% times more energy efficient to fiberglass methods of insulation.

No Sagging

Because the product is sprayed; it makes sure that there is no sagging or drooping like that in fiberglass batts. Highly pact blown cellulose insulation inherently also prevents air penetration, works wonderful for sound insulation.

What Makes Cellulose Insulation the Best Choice

It is treated with non-toxic boric acid compounds to protect it from mold. The borates in paper insulation provide superior control against mold, insects, and pests such as rodents. Just one step in the mold and pest control of your home.  Cellulose insulation not only keeps your home cool in the summer and warm in the winter, but they are also fire retardant, energy efficient, mold-resistant, and sound-proofing.

Becoming More and More Popular

Cellulose insulation is being increasingly used these days due to being environment friendly, as you need not worry about the fiberglass particles floating around the house. Cellulose insulation is very eco-friendly, using no voc’s, cfc’s or hcfc’s, plus it’s easy and very safe to install. For example, cellulose insulation has a very high green value because it’s made from old newspapers.

Environmentally Friendly

Cellulose attic insulation is growing in popularity, in part due to being one of the most environmentally preferable insulation types available. Similar to any other insulating machine, cellulose insulation maintains the heat inside your house and doesn’t let it run away.  One of the best your choices you can make for your home is sprayed cellulose insulation.
