ALLENTOWN, PA--(Marketwire - August 3, 2010) - fiberAmerica, an innovative manufacturer of consistent, high quality and environmentally-friendly cellulose fiber insulation products, today announced that it is expanding its green insulation market presence to D.C., Maryland and Virginia. Leveraging its success in the Northeastern United States, fiberAmerica is now selling its Green Seal cellulose fiber insulation product line to residential contractors south of the Mason-Dixon Line.
"We have worked with a pilot group of residential contractors in the D.C., Maryland and Virginia area, and our products have been very well received," said David A. Johnson, president for fiberAmerica. "With our centrally-located, technically-advanced manufacturing facility in Pennsylvania, we have a very competitive offering in both quality and price and with the growth of green cellulose insulation, we believe we are now well positioned to penetrate the market further down the East Coast with our Green Seal product line."
Cellulose insulation is one of the greenest building products in the world, according to the Cellulose Insulation Manufacturing Association. It is made from recycled newsprint and other paper sources that might otherwise end up in landfills and it takes less energy to make than any other insulation material.
fiberAmerica's Green Seal products are all Class 1, Type A building materials that are best fit for attic, sidewall and ceiling applications. They offer low-settled densities for better coverage and produce minimal dust during the installation process. With higher R-values per inch than fiberglass, fiberAmerica's Green Seal products provide more thermal resistance than fiberglass. Made from recycled newspaper, these environmentally-friendly cellulose fiber insulation products are treated with non-toxic, naturally occurring fire retardant minerals, giving them a Class 1 fire safety rating and providing a better defense against the spread of fire. The borate minerals added to cellulose insulation have long been recognized as a natural insect and pest repellant. Additionally, cellulose allows moisture/humidity to dissipate through the material, thereby preventing mold.
