Product Overview

Therm-O-Light can be installed manually by hand (i.e.: hand pouring) or by using pneumatic blowing equipment.

Therm-O-Light can be used in new or existing buildings and is suitable for use in both above and below grade applications. It can be applied to any open horizontal or sloped surface with a pitch up to 4.5 in 12 as well as any enclosed space such as walls, floors, flat roofs, and cathedral ceilings.

Therm-O-Light is treated with a special blend of non-corrosive borate and sulphate fire retardant additives, which protects the product and adjacent construction materials against mould growth, wood decay, insect damage, and discourages rodent activity.

Benefits

Made with 100% recycled wood fibre, our products are a natural choice. We process recycled newsprint through a special process until it is reduced to a light, fluffy, cotton-like material. Then we treat the fibres with various additives to make it resistant to fire, pests, and other harmful agents.

Effective

Greater energy savings due to its higher resistance to air leakage and higher R-factor at extreme temperatures.

Economical

Reduces heating and air conditioning costs, which will pay dividends for years to come.

Protective

Treated to prevent the growth of mould, mildew, and wood destroying fungi. Effective in controlling insects and preventing rodent activity.

Fire Resistant

Can block the spread of fire by as much as 64%.

Sound Control

Material acts as an excellent sound barrier.

Installer-Friendly

No skin irritations or health concerns.

Product Data

Performance Data

Our Canadian climate produces some of the most extreme weather conditions on the planet. With scorching heat in the summer and sub-zero cold in the winter, we have to rely on insulation that really works.

Greenhouse Gas Emissions

Our products reduce the heating and cooling requirements of the structure, which, in turn, conserves non-renewable energy resources and reduces the greenhouse gas load on the environment.

Atmospheric Carbon

Made with natural wood fibre, our products are produced through the process of photosynthesis, which captures and removes atmospheric carbon (greenhouse gases). Other insulations exacerbate the global warming problem by producing vast quantities of greenhouse gases during their manufacture.

Embodied Energy

Therm-O-Light conserves our resources. The energy required to produce cellulose fibre insulation is lower than any other insulation.

Landfill

Waste paper fibre used in our products is permanently diverted from municipal solid waste streams, which, in turn, reduces the burden on landfill sites.

Renewable Resource

Through sustained forest management practices, this product can be produced in perpetuity with no detriment to our natural environment.

Air Quality

Our products do not release harmful emissions into the environment. Many plastic foam insulations release gases (blowing agents) during their manufacture or after application in the field. Similarly, many batt insulation products use formaldehyde and/or polyisocyanurate-based adhesives, which off-gas over time.
