Go Green With Anchor Insulation!

Spiraling energy prices and environmental worries have homeowners, communities and even national governments looking for ways to rapidly achieve energy savings wherever possible.

Central to that effort is the more efficient heating and cooling of buildings and homes using state-of-the-art insulation materials and professional installers. Quality materials offer the homeowner an excellent return on investment with the upfront cost offset by years of lower energy bills.

Today it is easier than ever for builders and homeowner to realize a rapid payback for selecting the most efficient, energy-saving materials. A $2,000 federal tax credit for each new home that meets a higher energy efficiency standard translates into a lower short-run investment for enjoying substantial energy savings for the life of a building. As members of the Insulation Contractors Association of America, Anchor Insulation adheres to the highest professional standards and we will be glad to work with you in coming up with an home insulation plan that best suits your needs and budget.

Some of our leading Green Friendly Insulation solutions include:

ComfortTherm® fiberglass insulation, from Johns Mansville is a both a thermal and acoustical insulator that is both lightweight and Formaldehyde-free™. Made of long, resilient glass fibers bonded with an acrylic thermosetting binder, ComfortTherm® is wrapped in plastic for more comfortable installation with less itch and dust. ComfortTherm® is available in batts that fit standard wall cavities, or can be cut to fit any size wall cavity and installed in any part of metal frame or wood frame construction. With features such as a Class A rating for low flame spread, being composed of at least 25% recycled glass and Energy Star rated, ComfortTherm® continues the JM tradition of promoting better indoor air quality and a healthier indoor environment.

Cel-Pak is a premium, all-borate cellulose insulation made almost exclusively from over-issue newsprint. This is the highest quality newsprint available and offers the best quality and fiber length for superior insulation. The quality of this newsprint and the purity and effectiveness of National Fiber's special, all-borate chemical formulation, carefully blended using state-of-the-art equipment, provide the optimum density for unsurpassed coverage and performance. Cel-Pak insulation can be spray-applied into open wall cavities, dry-dense-packed into cathedral ceilings or overhangs, and open-blown into flat attic areas. These application methods ensure that your insulation system will be free of the voids and gaps that drastically reduce the performance, often leading to discomfort, mold and durability issues. Cel-Pak cellulose insulation has been used in some of the most energy efficient buildings constructed in the Northeast.

Climate Pro® Formaldehyde-free™ blow-in loose-fill fiberglass insulation is a premium alternative to cellulose. It can be conveniently blown into attics, nonconforming spaces and hard-to-reach areas, like corners, edges and around framing. Properly applied, you be assured that your home is energy-efficient, with minimal heat loss. Unlike most forms of cellulose, Climate Pro® will not hold moisture and will not permanently lose R-value. Climate Pro® does not appreciably settle, decay, or provide food for animals or microbes and is effective for the life of your home.
