Eco-Friendly and Efficient: The Power of Cellulose Insulation
Attic insulation is one of the most crucial elements for ensuring energy efficiency and home comfort. Over the years, various insulation materials have been developed. In this blog, we'll explore the history of cellulose insulation, as at our company, we proudly offer TruSoft Cellulose Insulation, and why TruSoft stands out as the ideal choice for your attic.
Back in Time...
Cellulose insulation has a rich history that dates back to the early 20th century. Originally, cellulose was made from paper products and textiles, providing an eco-friendly alternative to more energy-intensive materials like fiberglass or foam. But it wasn’t until the 1970s, during the energy crisis, when cellulose insulation gained popularity for its excellent insulating properties and affordability.
Today, modern cellulose insulation has evolved significantly. It is now primarily made from recycled paper, treated with non-toxic chemicals to enhance its fire resistance, pest deterrence, and mold protection. This mix of sustainability and performance has solidified cellulose insulation as the number one choice for eco-conscious homeowners seeking long-lasting attic protection.
More Technically...
Cellulose insulation, particularly TruSoft Cellulose, is made from approximately 85% of recycled materials, which are processed and treated with borates. These borate compounds serve as a fire retardant and insect repellent, making it a safer option than untreated insulation materials.
What Else?
Thermal Value: The R-value measures the material's resistance to heat flow. Cellulose insulation has an impressive R-value reaching up to 4 per inch of thickness, making it an excellent insulator in cold climates.
Density: Cellulose insulation has a higher density compared to other insulation types like fiberglass. This higher density creates a better air seal, reducing air leakage and drafts in your home.
Effective: The loose-fill nature of cellulose allows it to settle around gaps and irregular spaces in the attic, offering full coverage and preventing thermal bridging (where heat escapes through solid parts of the structure).
TruSoft Cellulose Insulation offers superior energy efficiency, improving attic insulation and cutting energy costs compared to other materials. It is treated with borates, making it fire-resistant and preventing mold, mildew, and pest infestations. TruSoft is an eco-friendly choice, made from recycled paper, reducing environmental impact.
