What is Cellulose Insulation?

Thermo-Kool insulation is a spray-in-place, energy-saving cellulose insulation. Using it eliminates the voids and air pockets common with other insulation materials. Using cellulose insulation instead of fiberglass can help you save significantly on your heating and cooling bills.

 

Cellulose vs. Fiberglass Insulation

Batt insulation cannot be fitted tightly around wall inclusions, such as pipes, wires, and electrical boxes. Cutting a batt to fit and pressing it around plumbing and electrical details creates gaps and depressions that seriously degrade thermal performance of the wall.  Dense-packed or sprayed cellulose insulation fits around everything in the wall, creating a tight, uncompromised thermal barrier.

 

 

 

Fire Safe

Thermo-Kool’s excellent fire-retardant characteristics are due to the use of a 100% boric acid formulation. Borates are natural compounds that are harmless to humans when included in cellulose insulation.  Read The Burning Question. (PDF file)

Rodent-Resistant

Thermo-Kool is a natural fiber insulation treated with boric acid and other proprietary formulations to produce a fire-retardant, environmentally-friendly, thermally superior, sound-deadening insulation with pest-controlling properties. Thermo-Kool is acceptable for use around humans and pets.

Mold-Resistant

The chemical make-up of Thermo-Kool cellulose insulation resists fungal growth. Since fiberglass contains no fungicides it often becomes covered with mold that feeds off of the dirt and dust that collects in it.
