The U.S. Department of Energy found that over 45 million homes in the United States are UNDER-insulated. Is your home one of them? In fact, if your home was built before 1980 there is an 80% chance that it is not insulated to government standards.
You lose 40% of your home’s energy through your ceiling due to conduction, convection and radiation. In the summer, sun radiates heat to your roof. Your roof radiates heat to your ceiling. The heat is conducted through your ceiling and radiates into your home. In the winter, convection causes warm air to rise. Heat is conducted from the warm air to your ceiling. Heat is conducted through your ceiling to the attic. Convection causes warm air to rise and the heat is lost.
Installing Long cellulose insulation in your home can help you save money on energy bills, make your home safer and healthier for your family – all while you help the environment by reducing your carbon footprint.
In numerous national studies cellulose insulation proved superior to traditional fiberglass insulation in all categories – seasonal performance, air infiltration, R-value and energy savings.

Long cellulose insulation can be installed in newly constructed homes as well as existing structures that have
inadequate levels of insulation. Long Insulation offers an excellent retrofit option for existing homes. Adding a
layer of Long Insulation to homes with existing fiberglass insulation has been shown to not only add conductive
efficiency, or R-value, to the home, but it also restores the R-value fiberglass loses in extremely cold or hot
weather.

The DOE’s recommendation depends on the climate zone in which your home is located. Maryland, DC and
Virginia fall into the zone that recommends insulation with an R-value range of 38-60. The higher the R-value the
better protected you are.

Long Insulation is a premium cellulose insulation product that is made from up to 85% recycled materials. This
environmentally-sound attic insulation product also uses one-fifth the energy required to make fiberglass and
generates one-fifth the carbon dioxide, which reduces your carbon footprint.

Unlike traditional fiberglass insulation, Long Insulation helps keep your home safer and healthier. Cellulose
insulation when exposed to a direct flame chars but does not ignite –making it up to 50% more fire-resistant than
fiberglass. Cellulose insulation also does not have the dangerous volatile organic compounds that fiberglass is
believed to contain.
