Is Cellulose more likely to burn or cause a fire?
No, Cellulose is manufactured under the Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) and is thus treated for fire resistance. Studies have actually shown that homes insulated with Cellulose took longer to burn than those with fiberglass or no insulation at all.

Is COZA Insulation safe?
Yes, COZA is safe for the homeowner and the installer. Unlike many insulation materials, COZA does not use formaldehyde, glass fibers or harmful chemicals during manufacturing.

What about mold growth and insects? Isn't Cellulose a perfect place to for those to grow and breed?
No, COZA uses boric acid to prevent insects and mold. Boric acid has been registered by the EPA since 1948 for use as an insecticide for control of cockroaches, termites, fire ants, fleas, silverfish, and many others. Boric acid is also used as a flame retardant and to prevent and destroy wet and dry rot in timbers. Although the term acid may worry you, boric acid is only poisionous if ingested and is comparable to table salt. It is also used as an antiseptic or in a diluted solution for eye wash.

How does COZA help to soundproof a home?
COZA helps reduce both interior and exterior noise because it completely fills voids and gaps that normally allow sound transmission. When properly installed Cellulose is 2 to 3 times as dense as similiar fiberglass products, therefore, entirely filling wall cavities and creating a quieter home.
|
Does COZA settle over time?
Yes, but we take that into account when pricing your job and installing your insulation. Federal law as well as industry standards require COZA Insulation to be sold and installed at settled densities. For attics, coverage charts are filled out for each job and posted in a visible area. They provide precise information on the amount of material that must be installed to reach a specified R-value.
