Green Value Cellulose Attic Insulation

Green Value Insulation is a premium cellulose insulation product that is made from 80% recycled materials. This environmentally attic insulation product also uses one-fifth the energy required to make fiberglass and generates one-fifth the carbon dioxide, which reduces your carbon footprint.

R-Value measures how well insulation resists the flow of heat.  Green Value Insulation has an R-value of 3.8 per inch, which is nearly twice as much as blown fiberglass insulation. According to a study at the University of Colorado on cellulose insulation’s superiority to fiberglass, cellulose insulation achieves a tighter building cavity and is 26 - 38% more efficient than fiberglass! Two structures were built-identical in every respect but the insulation material. Blower door tests demonstrated that the structure filled with cellulose insulation was 36 - 38% tighter than the fiberglass and the structure with cellulose insulation went on to use 26.6%less energy for heating.

Green Value Insulation also absorbs substantial levels of unwanted sound which contributes to an excellent STC rating.  In addition, when exposed to a direct flame, Green Value Insulation chars, but does not ignite. Made from recycled newspaper and cardboard it’s up to 50% more fire-resistant than traditional fiberglass.

Green Value Attic Insulation can be installed in new construction homes or buildings as well as in existing structures that already have insulation.  In fact, Green Value Cellulose Insulation also offers an excellent retrofit option for existing home.  Adding a layer of Green Value Attic Insulation to homes with existing fiberglass insulation has been shown to not only add conductive efficiency, or R-value, to the home, but it also restores the R-value fiberglass loses in extremely cold or hot weather.
