Insulation is inherently green because it increases the energy efficiency of homes and buildings. But are some insulations "greener" than others? It's worth a look, especially with the strong interest in environmental responsibility.

There is Nothing Better

Attic Insulation and Retrofit Services | Greenville South Carolina

How Much is Enough?The Department of Energy recommends an R-49 or higher as the minimum insulation R-Value for maximum energy efficiency in South Carolina. We use Applegate Cellulose Insulation because it provides a superior value. This "green" insulation is environmentally friendly, is made of 80-85% recycled newsprint, and it provides an R-Value of 3.8 per inch.Many companies advertise that they will add "inches of insulation" to homeowners' attics to achieve energy efficiency, which is very misleading. We actually calculate the amount of insulation necessary to achieve maximum energy efficiency based on your home's square footage, the amount of insulation currently in your attic, and the desired R-Value. As such, this calculation is individualized for every home.We densely pack our insulation in both new and existing homes, which provides a monolithic (unified, no voids or gaps) block. Dense packing takes the guess work out of the installation process, as every space that can hold insulation has insulation, ensuring that every inch is utilized to provide the maximum R-Value. Additionally, dense packing results in enough insulation being installed at a sufficient density level to significantly reduce air movement/infiltration, as compared to other products. Our products are stable and will not settle, as opposed to other products, which ultimately settle and compress due to gravity over time, leaving you with less insulation than you paid for. Our trained specialists will determine how much insulation you need to maximize your home's energy efficiency.The Cellulose StoryFrom Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia: "The word cellulose comes from the French word for a living cellule and glucose, which is sugar. Building insulation is low-thermal-conductivity material used to separate the internal climate and sounds of a building from external climate and sounds. Cellulose insulation is plant fiber used in wall and roof cavities to separate the inside and outside of the building thermally and acoustically."A Brief History Cellulose has the distinction of being the very oldest insulating material used in our homes. Types of cellulosic material include newspapers and cardboard, straw, and even sawdust. Cellulose came into its own during the early 1970's as oil embargos caused energy prices to become very high leading to increased awareness of the need for low cost energy conservation measures. Cellulose insulation soon gained national attention as a great low cost method to insulate American homes and significantly (20 to 40%) reduce their heating and cooling costs. Today, environmental concerns have again pushed the insulating advantages of cellulose to the forefront. Made from almost 85% recyclable materials, and containing up to 65 times less embodied energy than foam insulation, cellulose is indeed the Greenest of the Green insulation materials!Why InsulateIf you want to conserve energy, lower your home energy costs reduce noise levels and improve the level of comfort in your home, then properly installed cellulose is by far the superior, all natural insulating product that can meet those goals.
