What Is Cellulose Insulation
Cellulose insulation is a Green product manufactured from recycled paper / newspaper which constitutes 75% as the base material. The cellulose fiber is treated with borax and boric acid to ensure complete fire safety and insecticidal properties.
The system cost using cellulose insulation is comparatively cheaper and more effective in the performance for THERMAL , SOUND AND ACOUSTIC INSULATION, CONDENSATION CONTROL AND REDUCING RAIN NOISE IMPACT in view of its unique application and installation methods as compared to the conventional methods of insulation using insulation batts.
The product when applied with adhesive forms a monolithic layer with dead air spaces between and within its hollow fibers. The spray system also fill cracks, voids and seams forming monolithic layer over the substrates, which virtually eliminates air infiltration, separates hot and cold surfaces and eliminates condensation.
Application of cellulose insulation is versatile and may vary from dry fill to wet spray using water or adhesive subject to site conditions. This uniqueness offers designer with much options in space usage, maintaining original architectural profile and aesthetic design if exposed system were used for acoustical / sound / thermal insulation purposes as it is a self supporting system.
It greatly improves ambient sound quality in various building project as follows
- Auditorium
- Multi Purpose Hall
- Convention & Exhibition Centres
- Churches
- Discotheques
- Factories
- Meeting And Conference Rooms
- Recording Studios
- Schools And Universities
- Hospitals
- Recording Studios
- Hotels
