Performing even at the height of winter, cellulose minimizes energy consumption while improving on interior comfort.
In Gatineau, Ottawa and in all of the cities in the Outaouais region, CPO ISOLATION offers residential and commercial blown cellulose insulation services. This fiber insulation consists of recycled newspaper (85%) and flame retardant materials (15%). Eco-friendly, cellulose is very high performance, both to hold the heat inside in winter and to prevent it from entering in summer.
Blown cellulose fiber is used to insulate attics and attic spacers (flat roofs). It is equally an insulator that provides excellent soundproofing.
Cellulose fiber is a blown insulating wool that is injected under pressure (by machine) to the interior of attics. The fiber is blown until it fills the entire space.
Its strong density gives a R-value (thermal resistance) of 3.7 for each additional inch added, which is one of the highest among all insulation sold. Furthermore, the cellulose is inserted into every nook and cranny of the structure, which prevents any air infiltration.
It is equally possible use cellulose panels in the interior of walls and ceilings. It is therefore necessary to add an air barrier as well as a vapor barrier.
Cellulose fiber is an insulator of attics and attic spacers that demonstrates a very high thermal resistance. The yield of cellulose surpasses that of fiberglass and vermiculite. In addition, this yield remains the same, regardless of the outside temperature. Cellulose therefore makes it possible to constantly save on heating and air conditioning costs.
Cellulose fiber has many advantages: in addition to its high efficiency and stability over time, it offers a very good price/quality ratio. It is an insulator that is equally an excellent sound proofer.
In addition, cellulose is resistant to mold and slows down the spread of fire. The flame retardant minerals that make up (15%) are uninviting to insects and rodents, which helps prevent their intrusion.
Cellulose fiber is very eco-friendly since it is made of natural and recycled products. It contains very few volatile organic compounds (toxic fumes) and is not at all hazardous to your health.
