Paulsen Insulation Co Inc

Welcome to Paulsen Insulation Company. Keeping you warm in the winter & cool in the summer. We are a full-service insulation company providing cellulose blown insulation, open and closed cell foams, and conventional batt insulation.
A difference you will see, feel, & enjoy installing custom fit insulation is an investment in your home and your comfort. Insulation is one of the best home improvements that saves you money, year after year. More home insulation benefits cellulose insulation made of finely shredded newsprint and chemically treated to resist mold, fire and pests, cellulose is considered "greener" largely because of its high recycled content. One typical product, manufactured by Applegate Insulation, is 85% recycled content with a minimum of 80% post-consumer paper fiber. The remaining 15% is fire-retardant chemicals and other additives. The manufacturing process also helps make it "greener." It's made in electrically-driven mills at about 750 BTUs per pound, whereas manufacturing fiberglass insulation consumes from 6,000 to 15,000 BTUs per pound.
Spray Polyurethane Foam (SPF) insulation sprayed into walls as a liquid that expands and cures to create an insulating shell, spray polyurethane foam insulation offers many "greener" qualities. As noted earlier, it requires less thickness than fiberglass to achieve the same R-value, making it more energy efficient. It also meets many other "greener" criteria. It will not shrink and adheres to the surrounding structure, so there is no settling and no air gaps. It has no volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and no formaldehyde. Recognized for Energy Star certification and Leed credits, it is becoming very popular as a clean, green, long lasting insulation. One writer notes "it is an insulation and an air barrier that promises a tighter home with less dust and mildew, ensuring better indoor air quality."
24 SPF insulation is available in two forms, open-cell and closed-cell. Open-cell SPF insulation, such as NCFI's Sealite, is less costly and has slightly higher R-values than fiberglass or cellulose, while closed cell products like NCFI's InsulStar High Performance Insulation offer the highest R-values available as well as improved structural wall strength while acting as an air barrier.
Eco-friendly fiberglass insulation while standard fiberglass insulation would merely be "green" because it insulates, some manufacturers are now offering fiberglass insulation that does not use a formaldehyde binder and uses recycled materials, both making it "greener." 22 Johns Manville Formaldehyde-free insulation is one example. It uses an innovative new acrylic binder that eliminates binder-related formaldehyde emissions during manufacturing, and after installation will not off-gas formaldehyde inside your home.
