Imagine heating your
home in the winter or cooling your home in the summer…and then
leaving the front door open. If you add up all the possible
air
leaks in a typical home—cracks at the joints in the frame;
small spaces around windows and doors; areas around pipes,
ducts, vents and electrical outlets—it can have the same
effect as an open door or window. When batt insulation is cut or
forced to fit around irregular shapes, gaps can result that
enable air to pass right through. That’s called
air
infiltration or
air leakage, and it can account for as much as a
third of heat loss in a home.
The
All Tech Insulation Cellulose System, however, is
blown or
sprayed into place, preventing
gaps and stopping
air
leaks better because of the way it’s
applied. And All Tech Insulation
Cellulose System is two to three times more dense
than comparable fiberglass batts. That means heated air can’t
transfer through dense cellulose as easily as it does
through typically installed fiberglass.
Installing insulation
properly is the first step in making sure your home is more
comfortable and energy efficient.
One important component
of any home is the pressure barrier. The pressure barrier is defined as a
continuous plane that separates the conditioned area of the
building from the unconditioned area. Drywall is the most common
pressure barrier in construction today.
Insulation should
always be in direct contact with the pressure barrier of the
building. This standard of effective thermal installation means that
the insulation has no gaps, no voids, no compression, no
misalignment and no wind intrusion.
All Tech Insulation Cellulose
Solution may be used in
walls and
attics of
residential or
commercial structures. It may be used in cathedral or flat
ceilings, crawl spaces, basements and as insulation under
floors. All Tech Insulation Cellulose System may be blown in horizontal
applications such as
attics and crawl spaces, and professionally
sprayed (with carefully controlled moisture) into
wall cavities
and
attics in new construction.
