Proper Insulation is the Key to Energy Efficiency and Saving Money
Heating and cooling account for 50 to 70% of the energy used in the average American home. Inadequate
insulation and air leakage are leading causes of energy waste in most homes.
Long Insulation saves money and our nation's limited energy resources, makes your house more
comfortable by helping to maintain a uniform temperature throughout the house, and makes walls,
ceilings, and floors warmer in the winter and cooler in the summer.
Long cellulose helps keep your home warmer
in the winter, cooler in the summer, blocks
air infiltration, and saves you money over
fiberglass insulation. Unlike fiberglass' R-value
which varies due to gaps and voids -
with Long cellulose you get the performance
you paid for.
Fiberglass insulation is listed as a potential
carcinogen (containing reparable glass
fibers and potentially formaldehyde). Long
Insulation has none of these health concerns.
Leading toxicologists found that cellulose is
non-toxic and biologically innocuous.
Cellulose has long been known to have
superior fire-resistance compared to
traditional fiberglass insulation. It's dense
structure and fire-retardant additives block
flames and hot gases while restricting
oxygen, thereby slowing a fire's spread.
