Make Your Home Safe

GreenFiber Insulation can increase a wall's fire resistance by 22-57%. Cellulose insulation is non-toxic, and GreenFiber guarantees its products for the life of your house.

GreenFiber Insulation has been proven to increase a wall's fire resistance 22-57% and exceeds the tough fire safety standards set by the Consumer Product Safety Commission. In laboratory fire resistance tests of wall assemblies and full-scale building demonstrations, structures with GreenFiber Insulation out performed fiberglass and uninsulated structures by 22-57%. Oak Ridge National Laboratory, Underwriters Laboratory and the U.S. Department of Energy have all documented the permanency of fire retardants in cellulose insulation.

The boric acid flame retardant used in GreenFiber Insulation is infused in the natural fibers of the cellulose. During a fire, the retardant melts and holds the heat until the cellulose fibers char. The cellulose then becomes a layer of carbon protection, because the charred fibers won't burn. The density of GreenFiber Insulation prevents the passage of flames and hot gasses, so fire does not spread as readily into GreenFiber -installed walls or ceilings, and GreenFiber Insulation restricts the amount of oxygen available to support combustion.

GreenFiber Insulation has a Class 1/A rating (FSC 25) for flame spread, and a smoke development rating of less than 50 when tested in accordance with ASTM E84. Because of the fire retardant application, GreenFiber Insulation has been proven more effective in actual fire situations in maintaining the structural members of a home.

GreenFiber Insulation lasts.

GreenFiber Insulation has been tested by Underwriter's Laboratory according to ASTM standard C739 to be non-corrosive to steel, copper and aluminum, as well as resistant to fungi. GreenFiber guarantees its products for the life of the structure. If installed according to manufacturer's instructions, the insulation will be free from defects and will not deteriorate under normal and proper use.

The GreenFiber Commitment.

We firmly believe that no other insulation manufacturer can match our commitment to our product. We guarantee that GreenFiber Insulation, properly installed, will retain its thermal resistance, fire retardant and non-corrosive characteristics; provide sound control; and continue to meet current national building code standards for the life of the structure.
