WeatherShield™ and WallBar™ Insulation

WeatherShield™ and WallBar™ Insulation provides a relatively high thermal resistance per unit of thickness;
WeatherShield™ and WallBar™ Insulation provides a highly stable thermal value due to its high resistance to air infiltration and convective heat loss;
WeatherShield™ and WallBar™ Insulation provides superior acoustical control properties. this is particularly apparent when the cavity systems are dense packed;
WeatherShield™ and WallBar™ Insulation is not subject to installation defects (such as leaving gaps or voids around structural irregularities) that allow heat to escape easily. Its short-fibre nature allows for effectively filling all areas;
WeatherShield™ and WallBar™ Insulation incorporates fire retardant additives which also function to provide high resistance to mould and fungal growth, as well as to deter pests and other vermin;
WeatherShield™ and WallBar™ Insulation does not break down over time, as other insulation products;
WeatherShield™ and WallBar™ Insulation returns value on your investment. What you spend on it, you will recover via lower heating and cooling bills (this difference could be as much as 50%), cooler in the summer, warmer in the winter;

Basic Uses

WeatherShield™ and WallBar™ Insulation is a loose-fill type of insulation made from fiberized paper, which is designed to be pneumatically injected into the open face of exterior or partition wall cavities. Properly installed this insulation will form a cohesive matt time as the natural migration of moisture (in and out of the wall cavity) activates the internal adhesive. Moisture may be added as an option during installation to ensure immediate activation of the adhesive qualities. Either way, the end result is a custom-fitted, cohesive batt of insulation that provides both high R-Value and resistance to air-leakage.

Each bag of WeatherShield ™ and WallBar™ Insulation displays Environment Canada's EcoLogo, classifying it as an "Environmentally Friendly" product.

WeatherShield™ and WallBar™ Insulation is a thermal and acoustical insulation which may be injected behind a netting, spray-applied or simply installed as a loose-fill. Injection behind netting (Wall Net) permits great versatility of use such as in most types of framed wall construction or over head joist spaces and vaulted ceilings. By adding wood strapping the WallNet system may also be used to advantage on a broad range of steel buildings.

Cellulose insulation offers greater performance value (P-Value) than other fibrous insulations. P-Value has been adjusted for the detrimental effects of air leakage and moisture accumulation. Because the higher density and perfect fit of cellulose insulation, it dramatically reduces air leakage and air convection. Its P-Value is substantially better than glass fibre batt or loose-fill materials having a similar R-Value. In addition, cellulose insulation's basic R-Value remains more consistent than that of mineral fibre throughout a wide range of ambient temperatures, which makes it a superior insulation for reducing summer heat gain.

The cohesive properties of properly installed WeatherShield™ and WallBar™ Insulation produces a stable mass of material that will not shift or settle under normal conditions of use. High thermal resistance and noise absorption properties (as well as fire retardants) are also permanent.

Limitations

WeatherShield™ and WallBar™ Insulation (like other insulation products) should not be placed in direct contact with heat sources such as chimney flues, electric motors or light fixtures.

Unless CSA approved for use with thermal insulation, do not cover recessed light fixtures with any type of insulation because excessive heat build-lip may occur CSA certified fixtures are designed to limit operating temperature to 90ºC, which is safely below the 100ºC value frequently cited in scientific journals as being the maximum safe temperature for long term operation of wood based materials. For standard recessed light fixtures an air space of six inches or more is required between the fixture and its protective barrier. This consideration also applies to any other heat sources such as fan motors, transformers or incandescent trouble lights. Similarly, do not permit insulation to directly contact a chimney or flue. Do not fill fireplace or furnace chases. Maintain the minimum clearance specified by the building code or inspector having jurisdiction.

WeatherShield™ and WallBar™ Insulation is manufactured from selected organic fibres, impregnated with borate additives to resist mould, wood decay, insects, corrosion and combustion. A specialized fiberization process is employed to obtain the thermal and acoustical properties required.
