Cellulose Insulation Benefits
Cellulose Insulation
What Virginia, Maryland, and DC Homeowners Should Know
When you decide to upgrade the insulation in your home, you are presented with a plethora of options. What makes cellulose insulation better in Virginia, Maryland, and DC than the other materials? Superior insulation cannot stop at providing a comfortable temperature in the home. It must be multi functional. Handling excessive moisture, noise and the ability to help regulate fire damage are all important functions of insulation. You will find that cellulose insulation completes all these tasks while still being environmentally friendly and easy to install.
Environmentally Responsible
Cellulose is comprised mostly of recycled newspapers and books treated to withstand high temperatures. It is important we do all we can to conserve our resources. Cellulose insulation provides another means to utilize discarded paper products and make them functional once again.
Easy and Effective Installation
When cellulose is blown into walls and attics it completely envelopes pipes, wiring and voids in your home's framing. When blown into a space, cellulose limits the ability of air to move freely. This ensures your home receives the maximum amount of insulation. Blown cellulose insulation is a relatively uncomplicated and quick process. This produces fewer problems for cellulose insulation installation and your home will be back to normal in a timely fashion.
Noise Reduction
Many of us live within earshot of our neighbors or close to busy streets. Maintaining serenity in the home is a difficult task. Cellulose insulation excels at cancelling outside noise as well as restricting the passage of heat and cool air.
Excessive Moisture
Cellulose insulation is hydrophilic and when it's introduced to water it collects and pools the moisture. Fiber glass is hydrophobic, which results in water being repelled away from the material and allowed to penetrate further into your home. Once dried, cellulose will regain its insulation value and your home will have been protected from water damage. This makes cellulose insulation one of the best options for Maryland, Virginia, or DC homes.
Fire and Heat
Most insulation is treated to be fire retardant. However, some materials perform better than others in this area. You will be hard pressed to find an insulating fiber that handles fire on the level of cellulose insulation. A penny ignited by an acetylene torch will char the surface of cellulose, while the lower levels are otherwise unaffected. The same penny will cut through fiber glass as though it were cotton candy. Both are Class A Fire rated materials, but which would you rather have in your home?
There are many ways to insulate a home, but few are as safe and effective as cellulose insulation. Homeowners seeking to upgrade their insulation would do well to consider blown cellulose insulation in their walls and attics. It is a material ideal for creating comfortable homes in an environmentally friendly manner.
