How does WALLSEAL compare in performance to other insulation products?
Using Engineered Cellulose Insulation is more than a smart choice for its comfort benefits, WALLSEAL is environmentally friendly even in the manufacturing process. Fiberglass insulation is made by melting sand and recovered glass in gas-fired furnaces. It takes at least 8,500 BTUs of energy to produce a pound of fiberglass insulation. Cellulose insulation is produced by processing post-consumer recovered paper through electrically driven mills. Estimates for the embodied energy of a pound of cellulose vary from 150 to 750 BTUs. Converting this to BTUs-per-R, it takes at least 40 times more energy to make fiberglass insulation than to produce cellulose insulation. WALLSEAL is a premium insulation system. Homeowners, builders, and architects choosing this system are concerned about energy cost, sound control, and overall comfort. The installers of the WALLSEAL system are factory trained and certified professionals, and are equipped with specialized machines designed for this application.
