INSULATION MATERIALS
Trius Home Performance's experienced insulation staff will guide you through choosing the right insulation for your residential or commercial applications. Following is an overview of the types of insulation we offer at Trius HPC:
Fiber Glass Insulation
Fiber glass insulation is made of silica sand and recycled glass, both abundant resources. The EPA requires that 10 percent of materials used come from recycled sources, either post-consumer or post-industrial, and some products contain up to 40 percent.
Concerning health risks, when installed properly there is little danger of inhaling fibers, which are throat, eye and skin irritants. Although the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) still requires cancer warning labels on fiberglass insulation products, the American Lung Association states that glass fibers are not linked to increased cancer risk, even among glass fiber manufacturing workers.
Trius HPC uses CertainTeed Standard Fiber Glass Building Insulation, which has been certified by Greenguard as low-emitting products that emit half of what the EPA considers elevated formaldehyde levels.
Foam Insulation
Spray foam can be used as an insulating and air sealing product for wall and ceiling cavities. The insulation is sprayed, via special equipment, into wall cavities and expands to fill all the nooks and crannies in a wall cavity. Excess foam is scraped off the studs to form a uniform wall cavity. Because it expands into tight areas, sprayed foam is ideal for insulating steel framing and around outlets. By acting as a wind and air barrier, it often eliminates the need for separate air-tightness detailing, which can increase energy efficiency and allow downsizing of the heating and cooling system equipment. Sprayed foam insulation does not shrink, sag, settle, or biodegrade.
