2. Is Cellulose Insulation fire-safe?
Cellulose insulation is arguably the safest organic building material since it is always treated with persistent fire retardants. The United States Consumer Products Safety Commission does not believe cellulose insulation is a hazardous product.
Fire statistics do not support the claim that cellulose insulation is a hazardous product. Scientific studies of actual fires and demonstration burns have proven that the dense fiber structure of fire-retarded cellulose actually slows the spread of fire, protecting ceiling joists & plaster from the spread of fire. This results in a fire being contained at its ignition point, thus preventing further damage.

3. Does cellulose prevent the common problem of badly installed insulation?
Yes. Cellulose has a clear advantage over batt-type insulation, which is cut off-site & sometimes doesn't snugly fit the space between ceiling joists. This installation problem is known as thermal bridging or thermal short-circuiting and can substantially reduce insulation batts' effectiveness.
This problem is common throughout the world, because it's always difficult to fit insulation batts into ceilings with no gaps between the batts & the ceiling joists.
For example, installing an R3.0 insulation batt in your ceiling with a 4% gap between the batt & the ceiling joist reduces the batt's insulation performance by 50% to R1.5. By choosing 'no-gaps' cellulose insulation, you're home is guaranteed to receive the insulation performance as advertised.

4. Will Cellulose Insulation Lower my Cooling Cost?
Yes. By using cellulose insulation, we are able to create a tighter building envelope. This means your maintenance and operating costs on heating and cooling systems will be reduced because a more consistent room-to-room temperature is created. In some cases, you will even be able to downsize your heating and cooling systems by using cellulose insulation.

5. What happen when there’s a leak in my roof?
One must understand that the main function of cellulose insulation is to resist the flow of heat that generates in the roof. A minor leak will be absorbed by the cellulose fiber that acts as a sponge without any problem. However, as soon as you notice a wet spot on the ceiling, call the roof specialist for assistance.

6. Why should a homebuilder choose cellulose?
Cellulose insulation is cost effective, adds to housing affordability, meets codes, is easy to install, and helps differentiate your business as an environmentally friendly member of the development industry.

7. Why should consumers ask for cellulose?
Research and cost analysis shows that cellulose insulation performs better and costs less than competing forms.
Homes with cellulose insulation are comfortable, healthy and fire-safe.
In addition since it is an environmentally friendly product -- consisting of recycled materials -- consumers know they are helping the planet.

8. Which insulation is best for the environment?
Cellulose...naturally. The Life Cycle Analysis (LCA) of the environmental impact of all insulation products during their total life cycle (i.e. from their manufacture to their removal at the end of the life of a building) shows that cellulose is the world's leading environmentally friendly insulation. It's satisfying for consumers to know that a house insulated with cellulose insulation will:

• Use less energy to heat or cool your living space, and therefore...
• Pay for itself in around 5-7 years due to reduced energy bills.

9. What are cellulose insulation's fire safety properties like?
Excellent. Because it's an organic material, cellulose is treated with fire retardants. It is the only common wood fiber based residential and light commercial construction material that always receives such treatment. This process makes cellulose insulation one of the safest construction materials on the Australian market.

10. How does cellulose insulation perform in achieving noise reduction between rooms?
Cellulose is a market leader in the reduction of noise between rooms, including between upstairs & ground floor rooms. Most sound between rooms travels up through the ceiling & is reflected down into adjoining rooms. Cellulose can reduce up to 66% of sound between rooms, making your living environment substantially quieter. Cellulose is the world's most environmentally friendly insulation because:

• It's manufactured from 83% environmentally friendly recycled materials
• The energy used in its production (i.e. its embodied energy) is up to six (6) times less than other insulation materials
• It's rated as having the world's-best insulation product life cycle analysis

11. Does cellulose insulation improve your personal living comfort?
Yes. Cellulose keeps a home cooler in the hot tropical climate like Malaysia. A home's inside temperature may change by as much as 6-8 degrees, therefore giving you a more comfortable living environment all year round.

12. Is cellulose insulation easily installed?
Yes. Cellulose is easily installed by our trained staffs. Cellulose insulation's benefits include:

• It's dense but lightweight and will not put undue strain on ceilings.
• It prevents the common batt insulation problem loss of performance due to poor installation.
• It provides an energy efficient insulation seal for your ceiling which means less use of your fans, coolers and air conditioners, resulting in low energy bills.

13. Cellulose insulation comply with building regulations?
Yes. Cellulose insulation complies with all Australian State and Federal building regulations and is engineered to:

• Comply with AS/NZS4859.1 'Materials for the thermal insulation of buildings', which is the Australian product standard for cellulose insulation.
• Last the life of your home.
• Resist rodent & vermin infestation.

14. Does cellulose insulation attract insects & vermin?
No. Cellulose is treated with non-toxic 'harmless-to-humans' fire retardants which also repel vermin and insects.
