ProFiber Benefits
Nature-Tech ProFiber Cellulose Insulation is the culmination of years of research and product development. Nature-Tech looked at every aspect of traditional cellulose insulation and found the areas where it needed to be improved. With our patented processes, and technology, we have taken the tried and true performance of cellulose insulation and updated the product to meet today’s construction needs.
Fire Resistant
Cellulose insulation has been proven to improve fire safety in buildings by acting as an ignition barrier and fire block, allowing occupants more time to safely exit a burning building. These fire retardants permanently impregnated into Nature-Tech’s ProFiber Cellulose Insulation offer superior performance for the life of the building.
De-Dusted
Nature-Tech’s patented dedusting technology provides contractors a better installation experience without the nuisance dust associated with other cellulose insulation products. Lower dust, means better visibility, allowing a more consistent and level installation of the product and no need to shut off the insulation blower and wait for the dust to settle. Additionally, less dust during installation makes for easier cleanup and a happier customer and crew at the completion of the job.
Sound Control
Higher density insulation materials tend to reduce sound transmission better than lower density insulation products. When Nature-Tech’s ProFiber Cellulose Insulation is installed in high density applications of dense pack or damp spray this higher density blocks air borne sound transmission better than lower density insulating products including fiberglass, mineral fiber and spray foam insulation products.
Moisture Management
Nature-Tech’s ProFiber Cellulose Insulation is hygroscopic, and like the other wood-based products in your home it disperses the moisture, protecting not only your insulation, but also the adjoining building materials making them, and your building, more durable. Depending upon the application, these benefits can also help stabilize indoor humidity levels and improve comfort.
Energy Savings
Nature-Tech’s ProFiber Cellulose Insulation is one of the most cost effective and thermally efficient building insulations used today. It is immune to the heat robbing convection that is prevalent in low density fiberglass and batt type insulation products. When dense packed, it provides significant air sealing capabilities, reducing uncomfortable drafts. Its R-value is stable over a wide range of temperatures allowing it to outperform many other insulating materials in both hot and cold weather. Cellulose insulated buildings typically require less energy to heat and cool and offer better comfort to the occupants.
Comfort
The improved comfort offered by Nature-Tech’s ProFiber Cellulose Insulation is a function of its high installed thermal performance and thermal mass. In many buildings, poor insulation performance lowers the temperature of exterior surfaces and reduces comfort as your body radiates heat to these colder surfaces and creates personal discomfort. The improved thermal performance of cellulose insulation keeps exterior surfaces warmer, enhances comfort and saves energy along the way.
