For cellulose insulation for attics, walls, basement ceilings, floors and crawl space encapsulation, call Prudent Homes in Northern Virginia. Since 2003, Prudent Homes has used blow-in and spray applied cellulose insulation applications for retrofitting old homes and new homes alike. For our clients, we use the safest and best insulation products on the market – formaldehyde free, Energy Star certified, Sanctuary® Blow-In or Spray-Applied Insulation by Greenfiber.
Cellulose inslation has numerous benefits. Sanctuary® has a Class 1/A fire rating making it 57% better resisting fire than most common types of residential insulation. Cellulose insulation is less costly than spray foam insulation and is also the perfect insulation solution for fitting around pipes and wiring within walls. Cellulose is approximately three times denser than fiberglass and can tighten a structure by as much as 30%. It has been shown to increase energy efficiency in homes by as much as 25% percent.
Dry cellulose, or loose fill as it’s known, is blown into holes drilled into the top of walls. Stabilized cellulose is most often used for attics and roof insulation. Water can also be applied to an adhesive which helps the cellulose adhere to a surface and that helps keep the cellulose in place. The borates in cellulose insulation provide control against mold, specific pests, and because cellulose is composed of approximately 85% recycled paper fiber, it helps to soundproof a room by up to 60% and can contribute to obtaining LEED credits.
The team at Prudent Homes has experience in the DC metro area since 2003, and has completed thousands of insulation projects. Because cellulose contains small particles of dust that can make their way into a home through fixtures and other openings if not installed properly, it’s important to hire an experienced insulation company. Prudent Homes identifies problem areas within the home and remedies them before the work begins.
