Three Big Factors To Consider.

......Fire rating & testing

Cellulouse insulation has been
manufactured to meet the amended
CPSC standard for flame resistance and corrosiveness of cellulose insulation. Cellulouse is a class one fire-rated building material. It meets the stringent fire safety standards of the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission.

Tests have proven that cellulose insulation
actually increases the fire resistance of a wall from 22% to 55%, while fiberglass insulation was found to be no better than a non-insulated wall.

Research shows that the fire retardant
capabilities of Cellulouse and its density, keeps air from feeding a fire.  




So a structure insulated with cellulouse will burn slower, which could very well provide the time it takes to save a life. Fiberglass, on the other hand, melts which can allow fires to spread quickly.

.....Mold & Fungi Resistance

To date the serious reported cases of mold growth in insulation have all involved fiberglass, but no insulation or building materials are in themselves the cause for mold growth.

The key to stopping mold growth in our buildings is halting moisture; mold and fungus problems aren't inherent in a building that is relatively dry.

Mold is everywhere in the environment. Given heat, moisture and organic material it will grow. Fiberglass and other inorganic materials quickly become coated with organic materials. Fiberglass contains no fungicidal additives, so it soon becomes a very hospitable environment for fungal growth because of air infiltration which may lead to moisture migration. When using dense packing cellulose insulation it will create a continuous even layer of insulation. Pipes, wires, ductwork and electrical outlets are no problem for cellulose insulation because it is blown into the the tiniest of spaces, limiting air infiltration. 

Cellulose Insulation contains Board Defence (EPA registered No. 44757) a 100% borante at no less than 23% by weight. The inclusion of borate has
been tested for the resistance to the growth
of fungi in accordance with ASTM C 739 and
helps to prevent the growth of the following fungi.
  • Aspergillus niger
  • Aspergillus flavus
  • Aspergillus versicolor
  • Penicillium funiculosum
  • Chaetomium globosum

Afliated Associations and
Certications;
American Standards for Testing Material (ASTM),
Cellulouse meets the safety
standards of the U.S. Consumer Products
Safety Commission, (CPSC) American Society
of Testing Materials (ASTM), the Cellulose
Insulation Manufacturers Association
(CIMA), and Federal Specification HHI-515. 
It also complies with all requirements  of the Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA) Federal Insecticide and Fungicide. No other insulation meets such exacting quality control standards.
 Cellulouse Insulation is sprayed or blown into walls, conforming to your home and surrounding you and your family with a tight and safe thermal barrier.
