Benefits of Cellulose Insulation

Cellulose

The benefits of cellulose insulation over other types of insulation are striking. Cellulose has an R-value of 3.8 per inch vs. 2.2 per inch for regular fiberglass batts. The density of cellulose also makes it a superior sound barrier - achieving STC ratings as high as 45 in a standard 2x4 wall. 

Our method of spraying or injecting cellulose into cavities at high densities ensures that it achieves a tight air barrier,  without the voids or gaps of conventional insulation. This air barrier also blocks the flow of moisture, since airflow accounts for 98% of moisture transfer, ensuring your home will be free of rot, mold, and condensation-related problems.

The cellulose fibers are impregnated with naturally occurring fire retardant borates.  This makes cellulose insulation not only safer than fiberglass and foam, but also safer than almost any other material in the building.  Cellulose insulation provides a 1-hour, 2x4 load-bearing firewall when a single layer of 1/2 inch type X Gypsum is used on each side of the wall assembly.  And our NuWool Wallseal is one of the only insulations on the market treated to prevent mold.  Few other insulations can make this claim, and only cellulose insulation provides all these benefits and performance in one package.

The Quad-K Process

cellulose insulation

Quad-K is a Home Performance Contractor and Consultant that focuses on improving energy efficiency in your home. Quad-K uses a 4-step process to conduct a thorough energy audit of your home. We identify any deficiencies, recommend improvements, and can make all the energy upgrades to your home.

The 4-Step Process
First we identify the locations of all the draft entry points in the dwelling by conducting a Blower Door Test. We attach a blower to your door and depressurize the house and search for air leaks. Then, using our specialized products and techniques, we seal off all draft points. Third, we add insulation to the areas that need it, and last, we perform another blower door test to ensure maximum energy efficiency.
