Your home’s insulation affects everything from your daily comfort to your heating bill. It’s vital to do your research and make the right choice. You should consider R-value, durability, mould resistance, and environmental impact. In all these areas, cellulose insulation is superior to other insulation materials.
Insulation Police in Edmonton specialize in the Weathershield cellulose insulation system. They share why it is the ideal choice for your insulation upgrade:
Powerful insulator
Weathershield is powerful cellulose insulation for homes and commercial properties. It is high density, which allows it to maintain a high R-value. In fact, Weathershield has an insulating quality of nearly R4 per inch of thickness! That’s higher than any other material on the market.
Weathershield’s high density also prevents air infiltration and convection. This is crucial because air leakage is responsible for losing one-third of a house’s heat. Improperly insulated walls and attics permit warm air to escape through drafts. In turn, this cools the rooms in your home. Cellulose insulation prevents this. It’s blown into place, filling gaps, nooks, crevices, and crannies.
Outperforms fibreglass and spray-foam products
Weathershield is thermally and acoustically superior to fibreglass and spray-foam products. For example, Weathershield provides better soundproofing than these other insulators because of its relative density. Plus, cellulose insulation’s R-value is 23% higher than fibreglass and more durable. Fibreglass breaks down over time, but Weathershield maintains its structure.
Environmentally-friendly
Weathershield is incredibly eco-friendly. It’s made from 100% recycled cellulose fibre. In other words, paper. In addition, this paper is treated with harmless, naturally occurring chemicals.
Installing Weathershield in your home reduces your heating bill by up to 50%. This is also great for the environment! You lower your energy consumption, reduce your carbon footprint, and save money. Learn more about energy savings with cellulose insulation.
Resists fire, rodent, insect, mildew, and mould
Weathershield protects your home from a variety of issues. Cellulose insulation disperses any moisture throughout the material, thus preventing moisture accumulation. Additionally, it helps to dry surrounding areas, preventing mould and mildew growth. Furthermore, Weathershield’s unique formula also repels mice and vermin. It is fire-resistant and burns slower than fibreglass or foam insulation.
WallBAR insulation works best in certain applications
WallBAR cellulose insulation is a CMHC-approved sister product of Weathershield and is manufactured specifically for wall applications and sloped ceilings. It has the exact qualities of Weathershield cellulose but has an added starch and cardboard-like material to keep it from settling in walls or vaulted ceilings. It offers incredible thermal performance and noise reduction. In addition, it’s completely non-toxic and family-safe!
