Unlike other types of insulation, Celbar is made of natural cellulose fibers retrieved from recycled paper. These select natural fibers are combined in a unique process with the highest quality fire retardants. Celbar effectively reduces sound and heat transfer by creating dead air spaces between and within its fibers.

 

Not all insulations provide the same amount of insulating power. At an equivalent thickness low density fiberglass insulation always transmits heat faster than cellulose. Celbar Loosefill is able to achieve an R–30 in only 8.3", ordinary fiberglass fails to achieve an R–15 at the same thickness. The reason why low–density fiberglass has a lower R–value than cellulose is mostly because glass fibers does not block radiant heat as well as cellulose fibers."

The attic coverage chart is essential for proper R–values. Get an R–30 with only 8 1/2 –inches of Celbar Loosefill.

Studies show what we all know to be true: heating and cooling costs are a major component of the home’s monthly utilizes.  Clearly this makes your insulation selection one of the most important energy investments you can make.

Please visit www.energy.gov for your exact R–value recommendation.

The "R" means resistance to heat flow. The higher the R–value, the greater the insulation power. Compare insulation R–values before you buy. There are other factors to consider. The amount of insulation you need depends mainly on your climate. Also, your fuel savings from insulation will depend on the climate, type and size of your home, your fuel use pattern, and family size. If you buy too much insulation, it will cost you more than what you’ll save on fuel.

 

 

 

 

What you should know about R–values of insulation

 

The chart shows the R–value of this insulation. 

To get the marked R–value it is essential that this insulation be properly installed.
