Cellulose insulation greatly reduces air infiltration, a major contributor to high energy costs. Roughly 30% of your heating and cooling costs are wasted due to air infiltration. With cellulose insulation every section of wall is custom fitted uniformly with insulation significantly lowering air infiltration. Celbar provides safe and environmentally friendly thermal and acoustical cellulose insulation products and services to all trades in the building industry, builders, Architects, home designers, insulation contractors, professional contractors and consumers that are owners of existing homes also new construction. Celbar thermal and acoustical products are ideally suited to a wide range of new construction and renovation projects. The architectural sales team at ICC is experienced in providing effective design solutions for your thermal and acoustical requirements. Celbar cellulose spray insulation and acoustical products are extremely versatile and have been installed throughout the construction industry on both new and renovation projects such as:

System Description

Cellulose Spray Insulation WallCelbar is a blend of specially prepared cellulose fibers, organic in nature, treated with adhesive and fire resistant chemicals. When sprayed in place, the interlocking fibers result in a mass that produces excellent sound and thermal properties.

Celbar is pneumatically spray-applied in wall, floor and ceiling cavities to form a monolithic coating. This process seals cracks and holes in the wallboard, around plumbing and electrical outlets, vent ducts and other irregularities. There are no compressed areas or voids to allow sound leaks, R-value reduction, or air infiltration.

Celbar cellulose spray insulation is a unique spray application that fully insulates around plumbing, wiring, reducing air infiltration, and creating a comfortable home.  Celweb provides a backing for wall assemblies, in which the drywall has not yet been constructed, allowing for the application of Celbar Wall Spray.  Spray cellulose insulation is applied just beyond the studs ensuring maximum coverage, the spray cellulose insulation is planed flat creating an even, complete thermal barrier.

Performance Where It Counts

Cellulose Spray Insulation Wall

Celbar provides superior sound transfer control demanded by building designers, owners and occupants. Celbar assemblies perform closer to lab tested STC ratings in the field than do other conventional batt and sound board systems. This is due to the complete coverage and the sealing action of Celbar.

The performance of Celbar compared to other identically constructed wall systems, as documented by laboratory tests is shown below.

Thermal Performance

Celbar Finish

Celbar's R-value of 3.8 per inch allows you to design exterior wall systems with higher total R-values. However, R-value alone is not the only measure of a product's thermal effectiveness. To obtain maximum thermal efficiency, air infiltration must be minimized. Sprayed in place, Celbar conforms to any substrate, around pipes, obstructions, and over cracks, reducing air infiltration and forming a highly efficient and effective thermal barrier. It can be sprayed to virtually any exterior stud or furred cavity, and in most cases the wall can be closed up the same day.













Energy Savings Example

In a series of tests, five identical buildings were monitored for KWH usage over an eleven month period. One building utilized sprayed cellulose in the walls, and the other four utilized fiberglass batt insulation. Upon conclusion, the cellulose-insulated building saved 32% of the KWH usage of the other buildings.

 

 

 



Residential Use Cellulose Insulation

The comfort and maintenance of your home, the cost of your monthly heating/cooling bill, and many more factors are directly related to the performance of insulation.
