Advantages of Cellulose Insulation
Posted on March 26, 2014
Cellulose is one of the oldest types of insulating material in use today. Some examples of cellulose
based insulators are, cotton, straw, corncob and newspaper. There are four major types of
cellulose insulation. They are, dry cellulose, spray cellulose, stabilized cellulose and low dust
cellulose. Each type has its own specific uses. Dry cellulose is mainly used in older homes and is
blown into the walls through holes drilled into the walls. Spray cellulose is used in new
construction and is wet when it is applied. Stabilized cellulose is mainly used in attics and roofs.
Lowdust cellulose is used in places where the dust made during installation would cause a
problem. It is specially treated to keep the amount of dust to a minimum. There are numerous
advantages to using a cellulose based insulation product in your home or building and some of
them are listed below:
1. The cellulose insulation used today is made from recycled

newspapers with a fire retardant added to them. Because of its recycled newspaper content,
cellulose insulation is a green product.
2. Because of the density of cellulose insulation, buildings that are insulated with it are better
protected from fire damage.
3. Cellulose insulation makes buildings more energy efficient. It fills in cracks and spaces where
air could pass through, around objects like pipes and wiring, so it will save you money on heating
and cooling costs.
4. Cellulose insulation has some soundproofing qualities. It reduces the amount of noise that
travels from room to room.
5. There is an additive in cellulose insulation that greatly inhibits the growth of mold.

Benefits of Spray Foam Insulation
Posted on December 16, 2013
There are many advantages to insulating with spray foam! Some of them are:
• health benefits
• structural benefits
• financial benefits
Spray foam insulation helps eliminate air leaks, which can account for 30% of a home’s annual
heating and cooling expenses. This also helps control the growth of mildew and mold, which can
cause a multitude of serious health issues, by reducing the amount of water vapor that gets in
through air leakage. It improves indoor air quality in much the same way. Less air leakage means
less dust and pollen can get in, which is great for people with allergies.
Spray foam can also add significant structural strength to walls during high winds. It adds
resistance to high wind uplift and blowoff in the roof due to its lack of fasteners like nails and
screws, and the lack of joints or edges.
Another great benefit of spray foam is noise reduction! It can help reduce airborne noise, which is
made by stereos, talking, game systems and televisions. It does this by sealing every crack and
crevice that would allow these noises to travel. It also reduces flanking noise, which is when sound
travels through spaces along plumbing pipes, electrical outlets, recessed light fixtures and framing
connections.
Of course spray foam insulation will also save you money! It allows heating and cooling systems to
be much more energy efficient by sealing all of the places where air can travel into or out of
buildings. Spray foam insulation can help homeowners qualify for grants and tax credits too! Take
a look at this video that talks about spray foam insulation’s benefits:

Knauf Insulation
Posted on June 4, 2013
The most cost effective way to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and use less energy in
residential and commercial buildings is through insulation. When we reduce our consumption of
energy, we reduce the amount of pollution coming from the utility infrastructure. In turn, this cuts
the carbon dioxide emission by 780 million tons globally each year. This is equal to the electricity
used by 90 million plus every year. Within the average life span of a building, over 1500 times the
energy used in its manufacture is saved because of insulation. Knauf Insulation is committed to
providing a product and service that saves energy and preserves our natural resources for a future
that is sustainable.

Owens Corning leads the market in the advancement of residential insulation with contemporary
technological advancements since it became commercialized approximately 75 years ago. The
latest residential insulation product to take the stage, the energyefficient EnergyComplete®
Sealant which prolongs their success rate by winning Design Journal’s 2013 ADEX Platinum
Award for Design Excellence. This impressive sealant contributes to preserving energy in the
home.
The Owens Corning Building Science team conducted a study that identified individual exterior
joints where air most likely enters and escapes from homes via vulnerable cracks, seams and
gaps which contribute up to 40% of the energy utilized for heating and cooling. This new
knowledge is what inspired the design of the formula and equipment used in residential
insulation EnergyComplete® Sealant.

Roofing Insulation – Phoenix, Arizona
Posted on April 29, 2013
When thinking about a new roof in Phoenix, Az, it’s important to pay special attention to your
roofing insulation. Roofing insulation is key in keeping the effects of the elements out and the
heating and cooling in. Every roof should be insulated, however there are still plenty of homes that
are not, and in turn are costing residents expensive utility bills. In order to keep heating and
cooling costs down as well as maintaining a climate resistant home, it’s important to research a
variety of roofing insulation options and which is best suited for your home.
Utilizing the appropriate ‘Rvalue’ insulation is important. Rvalue is the measure of thermal
resistance. For example, a home that is located in an area that remains generally stable most of
the year will do fine with a lower rvalue insulation. In areas that get excessively hot and sunny,
like Phoenix, AZ, roofing insulation with a high rvalue is best.

Insulation Arizona
Posted on December 19, 2012
During the Arizona seasons of Spring and Fall, it’s hard to think and imagine the extreme
temperatures of winter or summer. Making sure your home is properly insulated will not only help
you keep cool in the summers, warm in the winters, but will also save you money.
Insulation minimizes the transfer of warm air keeping your Arizona home nice and warm during the
winter months. During the summer months, insulation keeps the inside cool air from transferring
with the outside heat. The more air that stays inside your Arizona home, the less you will be
spending on your electric bill.
An insulation professional in Arizona can assist you in finding out how much insulation your
Arizona home currently holds. With rooms that have trouble maintaining their temperature, it may
be desirable to install extra insulation. If the insulation professional determines that your Arizona
home needs more insulation or even insulation replacement, it’s important to figure out which
grade of insulation will be most costefficient for your home in Arizona
