1. Highest R Value per inch

Higher than fiberglass or rockwool.
but there's more. Recent testing at
the Oak ridge National Testing
Institute have proven that due to
convection fiberglass can loose up
to 50% of its R-Value in cold
weather! Comfort-Zone retains its
high R-Value

2. Air Infiltration

Comfort-Zone suppresses air
infiltration better than other types
of insulation.
Why?

• 1st Comfort-Zone
is 2-3 times denser than fiberglass.
The greater mass effectively blocks
air movement better.
• 2nd Comfort-Zone
completely fills in around wood
framing members, plumbing, electrical
wiring and other obstacles giving you
a much tighter seal than possible with
batts. Recent tests at the University of
Colorado prove it. A home insulated
entirely with cellulose (including wall
cavities) sprayed insulation used up to
38% less energy than an identical
home insulated with fiberglass batts.
• 3rd Sound Control
Nothing works better than
COMFORT-ZONE to Stop sound transmission
through walls & ceilings. Combining
COMFORT-ZONE superior density and
Void Free Wall Insulation package,
allows for superior STC ratings not
possible with fiberglass.
SOUND TRANSMISSION GUIDE
Sound Transmission Class (STC) is computed in
accordance with ASTM E-90 and E-413 and is taken
from industry data.
STC RATING   SPEECH HEARD
THROUGH FLOOR OR WALL

COMFORT-ZONE INSULATION SOUND

30..........................Loud speech understood fairly well
35..........................Loud speech audible but unintelligible
42..........................Loud speech audible as a murmur
45..........................Some loud speech barely audible
48..........................Hearing strained to notice loud speech
50..........................Loud speech not audible

3. Fire Safety

COMFORT-ZONE is U.L. labeled and
meets all Federal & State standards for
cellulose insulation.  Because of its
permanent fire retardant treatment
COMFORT-ZONE has been shown to
actually slow the spread of fire when
compared to fiberglass.

4. Non Toxic

Because COMFORT-ZONE is made from
natural noncarcinogenic wood fibers
there are none of the health concerns
associated with fiberglass & rockwool
These values for one inch of loose fill insulation.
STC RATING   CONSTRUCTION DETAIL
42..........................2"X4" wood stud on 16" centers, single
layer 1/2" gypsum both sides, 1/2"
COMFORT-ZONE insulation
50..........................2"x4" wood stud on 16" centers, 1/2"
resilient channel one side on 24"
centers, 1/2" gypsum both sides, 3 1/2"
COMFORT-ZONE insulation
50..........................2"x4" staggered wood stud on 18"
centers, 2"x6" bottom plate, 5/8"
gypsum both sides, 51/2"
COMFORT-ZONE insulation
50..........................3" steel channel stud on 24" centers,
1/2" gypsum on both sides, 3"
COMFORT-ZONE insulation
Notes:

• 1. Each layer of 5/8" gypsum offers about 1 db greater STC than 1/2"
        Gypsum.
• 2 There can be approximately 3 db variability in STC attributed to the
        test method.
• 3 The STC of studs on 24" centers is approximately 3 db greater than
        16" centers.

5. Low Dust

With over 20 years of experience in
manufacturing. COMFORT-ZONE has

6. Resistant to Insects & Rodents.

The same boron based chemical,
an EPA registered pesticide
(EPA registration number 44757-3),
used to give COMFORT-ZONE
its fire retardancy also makes
COMFORT-ZONE highly
resistant to insects & rodents.
