Girbec chooses products that offer the industry's most well-performing features. Naturally, that led us to opt for Igloo cellulosic insulation to protect our clients' buildings from the cold and the heat, as well as keep out any undesired noise, while preserving the environment and human health. This product provides unparalleled comfort for all buildings, new or existing, and substantially reduces energy consumption and costs.

Igloo cellulosic insulation is manufactured in Pointe-Claire, Quebec, by Igloo Cellulose Inc. Its reputation has even crossed borders; it is now being exported to the United States, Central America and South America. Igloo produces millions of bags of cellulose annually under the strictest industry standards. In fact, their product exceeds ISO 9000 international standards, as well as Canadian and U.S. federal product specifications and safety requirements.

Igloo cellulosic insulation is made from 85% recycled newspaper fiber and 15% biodegradable materials, and free of ammonium sulphate. Cellulosic fibers are treated with natural, non corrosive chemicals that ensure their longevity.

The flexibility and exceptional adhesion capacity of Igloo natural fiber insulation allow it to penetrate even congested spaces, around obstructions of any shape - wiring, plumbing, framing materials in attics and walls - thus reducing even the tiniest air leak.

Igloo cellulosic insulation is an environmentally friendly solution that has been proven to reduce energy consumption in any weather. University of Colorado researchers concluded that cellulosic insulation is 38% more efficient than fiberglass in winter climates, and 26% more efficient in hot climates. That makes it an excellent choice for Quebecers, who enjoy all four seasons.
