| T·A·P into the benefits |

Thermal
insulation
is a material having air-filled cells or voids, or heat-reflective
surfaces, which retard the transfer of heat to cold.
Acoustical insulation retards
the transmission of sound.
Pest control insulation,
while performing the other functions of thermal and acoustical,
is labeled to control listed insects. By Federal law, such insulation
(and the manufacturing plant) must be registered with the US
EPA, and carry an EPA-approved label. Additionally, the product
must be registered with the pest control authorities in each
state in which it is sold or manufactured. Because T·A·P
is an EPA-labeled pesticide, in many states only a licensed
PMP may sell the insulation. |

| What
are the energy & money saving
benefits? |
|
| |
T·A·P
saves energy. T·A·P saves money by decreasing
energy bills. It keeps homes cool in summer and warm in winter
for less money: Comfortable year-round. Because T·A·P
is denser than fiberglass insulation, air does not move through
it well, so it resists heat transfer by convection, as well
as conduction and radiation. And since there aren’t the
leaks and drafts associated with ordinary insulation, mechanical
systems don’t work as hard and can be down-sized, further
saving money. Areas in the home maintain more uniform temperatures
between floors and ceilings, upstairs and downstairs, even next
to exterior walls. Comfort. Conservation. Comfortable
Conservation! I'd like to know more about the money
saving benefits |

|
|
| What
are the sound absorbing benefits? |
|
| |
T·A·P
reduces unwelcome noise from outside and helps create a peaceful
haven inside the home. Insulated interior walls reduce annoying
noises (such as toilets flushing and appliances running) inside
a house. I'd
like to know more about the acoustical
properties. |

|
|
| What
are the pest controlling benefits? |
|
| |
T·A·P
helps control pests in your home. Annoying pests can breed and
form colonies in the attic and behind walls, coming out at night,
seeking food and water. More than just annoying, they can severely
damage a house. T·A·P is an EPA-labeled pest control
insulation, treated with pure boric acid. Although deadly to
many insects, T·A·P is acceptable for use around
humans and pets. T·A·P eliminates self-grooming
insects, where it is installed, upon contact. Insects cannot
build up a tolerance to T·A·P, and it never needs
re-treating. T·A·P controls ants, cockroaches,
silverfish, termites, and other insects listed on the EPA label.

|
| What
is the insulation made of? |
|
 |
All-Natural,
Permanent, and Environmentally Friendly, too. T·A·P
is Green! Well, not in color, but
T·A·P is permanent, made from all-natural boric
acid and recycled newsprint; thus while you’re saving energy,
you’re also conserving landfill space. I'd like to know
more about the environmental properties. |

|
|
| Is
cellulose a fire hazard? |
|
| |
Most
houses are cellulose (made from wood and forest products). T·A·P
contains a fire-retardant chemical that actually makes homes
safer in case of fire. Ordinary fiberglass insulation can melt,
creating a chimney-like effect in a wall. T·A·P,
with its fire-retardant characteristics, forms a charred surface
barrier which limits the spread of fire. I'd like to know
more about the fire-retardant properties. |

|
| How
is T·A·P installed? |
|
| |
Blown-in
T·A·P forms a perfect fit in your wall or attic
when applied, seeking nooks and crannies, filling the entire
cavity. As every homebuilder knows, stud cavities are not uniform
in size; thus, gaps and voids form when uniformly sized batts
are used. Unlike fiberglass batts,T·A·P is never
cut on the jobsite, or stuffed into the cavity to fit behind
pipes and conduits, reducing the R-Value. With T·A·P,
the R-Value stays in the insulation! And that means the added
value
stays in the home and becomes a permanent benefit you can sell
to the next owners. |
