Envirosmart Insulation

What are the energy and money saving benefits?

Envirosmart saves money by decreasing energy bills. It keeps the building cooler in the summer and warmer in the winter: Comfortable year-round. Warm air moves readily through porous insulations, such as rock and glass fibers. But Envirosmart's increased density retards this convective heat transfer, as well as conduction and radiation. Since there aren't the leaks and drafts associated with the ordinary insulation, heating and cooling systems don't cycle as often and can be smaller, further saving money. The home maintains more uniform temperature – temperatures between floors and ceilings, upstairs/downstairs, even next to windows and doors. Comfort. Conservation. Comfortable Conservation!

What are the sound absorbing benefits?

Envirosmart reduces outside noise such as lawn mowers and traffic and helps create a peaceful home. Insulated interior walls reduce annoying noises (such as toilets flushing and appliances running) inside a house.

What is the insulation made of?

All-Natural, Permanent, and Environmentally Friendly, too. Envirosmart is Green! Well, not in color, but Envirosmart is permanent, made from all-natural Boric Acid and recycled newsprint, thus while you're saving energy, you're also conserving landfill space.

Is cellulose a fire hazard?

Envirosmart contains a fire-retardant chemical that actually makes homes safer in case of fire. Ordinary fiberglass insulation can melt, creating a chimney-like effect in a wall. Envirosmart, with its fire-retardant characteristics, forms a charred surface barrier which limits the spread of fire.

Does Envirosmart fit into the walls like fiberglass?

No, it's even better! Because of the installation process, Envirosmart forms a perfect fit in your wall or attic when applied, seeking nooks and crannies, filling the entire cavity. Unlike fiberglass insulation, it is never cut on the jobsite, or stuffed into the cavity to fit behind pipes and conduits, reducing the R-Value. With Envirosmart the R-Value stays in the insulation! And that means the added value stays in the home and becomes a permanent money saver for you.
