Retrofit and Protect Your Investment.

A home doesn’t have to be old to signal inadequate insulation… in fact, many homes are perfect candidates for additional insulation. Protect your investment and upgrade to Nu-Wool Insulation that pays you back in multiple benefits… energy savings, controlled heat and air consumption, quietness and mold and pest protection. No matter where you live, Nu-Wool works around the clock, all year long and for the life of your home.

Any one of the following conditions can be an indicator of inadequate insulation:

• Heating and cooling bills are high
• Rooms in the house feel drafty or uncomfortably warm
• The furnace or air conditioner runs constantly
• Outside noise is audible inside the house
• Snow melts quickly off the roof
• Icicles and ice damming occur on the roof

Ice Dams

Ice dams not only indicate inadequate insulation, they can cause damage to the structure of the house. Heat escaping from the house through a poorly insulated attic warms the shingles on the roof, melting the snow, which runs down the roof to the eaves. Since the eaves overhang the house and are cold, the melted snow freezes when it reaches the eaves. When enough ice has formed at the eaves, it begins to stop or dam additional water from draining off the roof. The ice dam eventually grows under the shingles, causing melted snow to enter the ceilings and walls.

Determining Additional Insulation Needs

The best way to determine if you need additional insulation is to measure the depth of insulation currently in your attic. If there is less than R-49, (19 inches of blown fiber glass, or 12-13 inches of cellulose), you could benefit by adding more insulation to your attic. Adding Nu-Wool Premium Cellulose Insulation on top of other types of insulation reduces air infiltration and improves the performance of your existing insulation.

If your attic has ample insulation and your home still feels drafty and cold in the winter, or too warm in the summer, the exterior walls may not be well insulated. Basements and crawl spaces need proper amounts of insulation as well. Of course, doors and windows should also be checked for air tightness.

Save on Energy Costs by Adding Insulation

While savings vary, owners of new homes with Nu-Wool Premium Cellulose Insulation save up to 40%* on energy bills compared to fiberglass insulated homes. Your professional Nu-Wool installer can give you an idea of how much money you might save and how quickly those savings will pay for your investment in additional insulation. Instead of adjusting your thermostat dial to save money, add Nu-Wool Premium Cellulose Insulation to your home!

Adding Nu-Wool Insulation will help keep the heat where it belongs — in the house in cold weather and outside the house in hot weather.
