Therm-O-Light Product Information

Therm-O-Light can be used in new or existing buildings and is suitable for use in both above and below grade applications. It can be applied to any open horizontal or sloped surfaces with a pitch up to 4.5 in 12, as well as any enclosed space such as walls, floors, flat roofs and cathedral ceilings.

The time to install cellulose installation varies depending on the preparation time, existing insulation removal and the size of the building.

The process typically requires two people

Cellulose insulation systems cost more than fibreglass batt insulation - about 40 per cent more. However, it generally is less expensive than sprayed foam, and performs almost as well in many cases.

A foot of blown-in loose-fill cellulose yields an R-value of 45, while a foot of loose-fill mineral fibre would offer an R-33 level, according to a study by the Canadian Construction Materials Centre.

A foot of fibreglass batt insulation would deliver about R-46. (Since most batts are 5.5 inches thick, the actual insulation is still a respectable R-21). R-values are compromised with any insulation if does not completely fill the wall cavity.

Health & Safety: Therm-O-Spray is safe to handle and is a non-irritating alternative to man-made mineral fibre products. However, adequate precautions must be taken when installing or handling any loose-fill product. Therm-O-Light has a minimum recycled content of 85% consisting of pre and post consumer recycled paper and paperboard products.
