What is p2000 insulation?:
P2000 insulation is a newer form of insulation. It's made in thin sheets with a soft interior made of foam. The sheet has a reflective side on both sides of the insulation. The insulation is made of EPS or Expanded Polystyrene which has been around for a long time but has been used in other markets then insulation.
What are the advantages of using P2000 insulation?:
The insulation has many advantages. It has a low flammability. It's very flexible and can literally be twisted without breaking. It does not emit any harmful gases. It's interior is dense and waterproof. 5/8" of P2000 insulates better then 6 inches of fiberglass insulation. It has high R-values. A thin quantity of P2000 prove remarkably well as an insulation, allowing for thin strips to work just as efficiently thicker strands of other insulators. Mold can not grow on it's surface. In the summer the insulation will actually keep your home cooler by reducing the amount of heat the home absorbs.
How well does it work?:
It's R-value ranges from over 13 to over 27, very high (depending on it's thickness). So it is quite an insulator for it's thickness. It works very well for even a small thickness, which is very important if you have to insulate a space with not much room.
What is the cost and savings?:
The savings of implementing p2000 insulation are on average around 50%. It's cost can fluctuate from .67-.99$ a sq ft. for a 1" board.
Is it environmentally friendly?:
Cellulose is environmentally friendly. No gases are emitted because the interior is steamed. So yes it is an environmentally friendly choice for insulation.
