Cellulose Fibre
Choosing insulation is a decision that lasts a lifetime; there are many factors to consider when shopping around, like performance, safety and the overall environmental impact of its production and installation.
When compared with other popular insulation products, cellulose is becoming the recommended choice of contractors, installers, building supply companies and homeowners.
Let’s Find Out Why:-
Cellulose insulation is extremely cost-effective to install
Cellulose insulation has the highest amount of recycled post- consumer content among insulation products on the market today
Cellulose insulation gives you the real value of the R-value you choose in every climate region
Cellulose insulation creates a seamless seal in every nook and cranny of every structure so you get the maximum protection from air flow and noise infiltration
Cellulose insulation has an invaluable built-in safety feature that slows the spread of fire allowing more time in hazardous situations to evacuate and to save the structural integrity of the building itself
Acoustic Benefits of Cellulose Fibre
Our Cellulose Fibre will enable you to enjoy noise reduction from external (lawn mowers, cars, aircraft etc) and internal (television, stereos, laundry) noise sources by as much as 50% with Cellulose Fibre installed in your ceiling. This will mean a quieter and more comfortable home environment.
The Installation Process
At AFI our professional tradesmen and staff will install the Cellulose Fibre via the roof to a depth of 100mm providing you with a minimum R3.5 rating, giving you an insulation solution above recommended levels. All roof types are catered for and handled with care and expertise including: difficult, raked, exposed beam and standard. AFI Cellulose Fibre can also be installed at varying depths enabling it to provide a wide range of R-values across an even wider scope of applications than that of any other insulation product on the market.
Moisture Absorption of Cellulose Fibre
Cellulose Fibre has the capacity to absorb moisture more readily than any other insulation. The determination of moisture absorption by Cellulose Fibre is one of the requirements of AS/NZ 4859.1, which specifies that materials shall have moisture absorption percentage of less than 20%. AFI Cellulose Fibre has a moisture absorption percentage of 8.2%; therefore the product has passed the Australian requirements.
Vermin Resistant
AFI Cellulose Fibre it is treated with two non- irritant, non-toxic, safe to handle and allergy free agents; Borax and Boric acid. Both substances have the toxicity of common table salt and can be found in many common household products such as gumption and medical cleaning spirit.
The combination of Borax and Boric Acid prevents vermin and insects breeding in the product. When insects or vermin come in contact with the treated Cellulose Fibre, the Borax and Boric acid collect on their bodies and cause dehydration discouraging them from going near the product. The treatment is one that will last for many lifetimes and is fully guaranteed for the life of the structure.
Corrosiveness
The Boric acid and Borax that is used in the Cellulose Fibre insulation as a fire retardant has no corrosive properties. It actually protects ferrous metals against oxidization and is a proven corrosion inhibiter.
