Better Insulation

About Cellulose Insulation

Cellulose Insulation is an energy-saving insulation product made from recycled newspapers and has superior thermal and air infiltration properties.

• Longevity
  Cellulose insulation has been a proven performer for more than 50 years.
• Continued Performance
  Studies have shown that there is no breakdown of Cellulose Insulation over time in terms of fire resistance, moisture absorption, mold growth, corrosive action or paper degradation.
• Versatility
  Cellulose Insulation has been used in every facet of the building industry; new and existing residential structures, commercial, industrial, and institutional facilities.
• Acceptance by Officials
  Cellulose Insulation has passed years of stringent testing and meets all building codes.
• Consumer Value
  Cellulose Insulation has long offered the best value/return on investment for buyers due to its ease of installation, low material cost, proven performance, and energy savings.
• Resists Mold Growth
  Cellulose Insulation undergoes rigorous testing to insure that it will not promote the growth of molds and mildew.
• Non-Toxic
  Toxicologist studies demonstrate no observed adverse health problems associated with Cellulose Insulation.
• Acoustically Superior
  Cellulose insulation is very effective as a sound control material.  
  

Insulation impacts HVAC system size
By using energy-efficient Cellulose Insulation, heating and cooling equipment can be "right-sized," which saves valuable construction dollars and can extend the operating life of the HVAC equipment. Right-sized equipment is usually smaller and therefore, costs less. Because oversized heating and cooling units are inefficient and costly, Three Bridges has sized all our homes with the correct HVAC systems for best performance. Installing Cellulose Insulation, along with a right-sized HVAC system, will result in:

Improved Comfort
Each room in the house will feel more comfortable all year long. In heating season, temperatures will be more even and consistent throughout the home. The air conditioner will control humidity better, which means more efficient cooling.

Longer HVAC Life
Cellulose Insulation reduces the load placed on the HVAC equipment. Decreased demand and less cycling means a longer life for the HVAC system.

How does Cellulose Insulation impact HVAC performance?
Cellulose Insulation reduces air infiltration better than conventional insulation materials.

Air leakage is a primary factor in energy loss and the corresponding demand on the HVAC system. Using energy-efficient Cellulose Insulation enhances the performance of heating and cooling equipment better than conventional insulation materials.

Using Cellulose Insulation combination with a right-sized system for a home will save home owners up to 40% on energy bills. Savings are realized immediately and for years to come.

CertainTeed Replaces The Notorious InsulSafe III With InsulSafe 4

Density Fiberglass’ problems are simple: too much air and too little (fiberglass) insulation. And they can be solved easily: install denser fiberglass that contains less air.

When there is too much air in the insulation, convective air currents can move freely through the fiberglass and can diminish the R-value by up to 50% under certain conditions. Read More
