WEATHERSHIELD^TM is a loose-fill, fibrous insulation manufactured from selected paper stock (much like other everyday building materials such as asphalt shingles, backer board, ceiling tiles and drywall papers). Each bag of Weathershield^TM displays Environment Canada's "Ecology", classifying it as an "environmentally friendly" product. Weathershield^TM may be hand poured or pneumatically applied using a blowing machine and delivery hose. Machine application ensures that the material is properly conditioned, and placed at the required design density.

WEATHERSHIELD^TM is manufactured from 100% recycled paper fibers impregnated with non corrosive fire retardant chemicals which also provide excellent protection against mildew , mould and rot as well as insects, mice, and other vermin.

WEATHERSHIELD^TM contains NO fiberglass, formaldehyde, or asbestos and is a certified environmental choice product.

 WEATHERSHIELD^TM  soft wool like appearance is easy to install and will not cause skin irritation or harmful emissions.

WEATHERSHIELD^TM insulation can be blown or sprayed into walls, attics, roofs and floors. In attics it can be installed over existing fiberglass insulation to achieve a higher R value (RSI value).

WEATHERSHIELD^TM insulation is a cost effective way to reduce heating and cooling costs.

WEATHERSHIELD^TM insulation provides superior thermal protection over other insulations because it is manufactured with short hollow fibers which form tiny air spaces around and within itself.

WEATHERSHIELD^TM insulation is quicker and easier to install than batt insulation since it is installed using a blowing machine. This method of installation also allows the insulation to conform around framing members, wiring and other fixtures resulting in a seamless blanket of insulation.

WEATHERSHIELD^TM can be blown dry in open attic floor spaces and vaulted or sloped ceilings with pitches up to 4.5 in 12 regardless of type and spacing of framing members. It is also ideal for flat roof applications which are often awkward and difficult to insulate properly.

WEATHERSHIELD^TM offers one of the highest R-Values per inch and thus provides greater thermal protection at lower thicknesses. As illustrated below, this feature is important in areas such as at the perimeter of the attic where the thickness of the insulation is limited due to the roof configuration

WEATHERSHIELD^TM maintains a stable R-Value over the full range of densities at which it can be installed, whereas fiberglass loose-fill suffers a drastic loss in R-Value if the density is only slightly less (commonly referred to as fluffing) than the required design density.
