Cellulose insulation
Our cellulose insulation is made from 100% recycled paper fibers with superior thermal performance. The material provides excellent heat resistance, soundproofing, and moisture regulation while being naturally fire-resistant and pest-resistant. Ideal for both new construction and retrofit projects, it adapts to any building structure while maintaining environmental sustainability.
Insulation machines
We supply specialized Krendl and HeatSeal machines for bulk insulation installation. These professional-grade tools ensure precise application of cellulose insulation in various building types. The equipment enables efficient coverage of attics, walls, and intermediate floors while maintaining optimal density and thermal performance for long-term energy savings.
Professional training
Our comprehensive training programs educate installers on proper cellulose application techniques. Participants learn about building code compliance, equipment operation, and best practices for achieving maximum thermal efficiency. Certified professionals receive official recognition and ongoing technical support to ensure quality installations across all project types.
Accessories and sealing
We offer complementary sealing solutions and accessories to enhance building envelope performance. Our products include air barrier systems, vapor retarders, and specialized components that work with cellulose insulation to create airtight, energy-efficient structures while maintaining moisture control and indoor air quality.
Installation services
Our network of certified installers provides professional cellulose insulation services for residential and commercial buildings. Using specialized equipment and techniques, we ensure proper material density and coverage in attics, walls, and intermediate floors. The installation process follows strict quality standards to maximize thermal performance and long-term building efficiency.
