About ECOCELL Cellulose Insulation Blankets
Revolutionize your insulation strategy with Nu-Wool's ECOCELL Cellulose Insulation Blankets, a cutting-edge solution that marries exceptional performance with environmental consciousness. These innovative blankets represent a significant leap forward in sustainable insulation technology, offering a versatile and eco-friendly alternative to traditional materials.
Superior Thermal and Acoustic Performance
ECOCELL blankets boast impressive insulation properties, with R-values of R-6 for the 1.5" thickness and R-10 for the 2.5" thickness. This superior thermal resistance ensures optimal energy efficiency in both residential and commercial settings. The dense cellulose composition also provides excellent sound-dampening capabilities, creating quieter, more comfortable indoor environments.
Unmatched Fire Safety and Moisture Resistance
Carrying a Class A fire rating, ECOCELL blankets offer top-tier fire protection and can be left exposed without the need for drywall covering. This unique feature enhances safety while potentially reducing construction costs. Additionally, the blankets incorporate an EPA-registered fungicide, effectively resisting mold growth and ensuring long-lasting performance even in challenging environments.
Versatile Applications and Easy Installation
ECOCELL blankets excel in a wide range of applications, including:
- Basements and crawlspace
- Concrete and cement block rooms
- Attics and wall cavities
Their versatility extends to finishing options, as the blankets can be painted directly, allowing for seamless integration with various design aesthetics. The material's quick-drying properties also provide added convenience in case of accidental wetting.
Environmental Leadership
At the forefront of sustainable building materials, ECOCELL blankets are composed of 70% recycled materials, primarily recycled newspaper. This commitment to recycling significantly reduces the product's environmental footprint compared to traditional insulation options like foam or fiberglass. The manufacturing process emphasizes energy efficiency and reduced air pollution, aligning with modern sustainable practices.
Comfort and Health Considerations
Unlike fiberglass insulation, ECOCELL blankets are non-irritating to skin, making them safer and more comfortable to handle during installation. This feature not only benefits installers but also contributes to improved indoor air quality for building occupants.
For builders, architects, and homeowners seeking a high-performance insulation solution that prioritizes environmental responsibility without compromising on quality or practicality, Nu-Wool's ECOCELL Cellulose Insulation Blankets offer an unparalleled combination of efficiency, sustainability, and versatility.
