READ THIS BEFORE YOUR BUY. What you should know about R-values...
Thermal, Acoustical, and Pest Control (T•A•P
®
) Insulation is a ready-to-use insect control insulation. This product is tested to help control the voids (attic, walls, between-oors, crawl space) where the
product is applied. Its effect begins only after insects come in contact with the product. Not recommended as sole protection against termites. Use of this product does not substitute for pre- and/or
post-construction mechanical alteration, soil treatment, or foundation treatment. For active termite infestations, get a professional inspection.
The chart above shows the R-value of this insulation. R means resistance to heat ow. The higher the R-value, the greater the insulating power will be. Compare insulation R-values before you buy. There
are other factors to consider. The amount of insulation you need depends mainly on the climate in which you live. Also, your fuel savings from insulation will depend upon the climate, the type and size of
your house, the amount of insulation already in your house, and your fuel use patterns and family size. If you buy too much insulation, it will cost you more than you’ll save on fuel. To achieve the stated
R-value, it is essential that this product be installed at the coverage rates shown by a professional insulation applicator using equipment especially designed for this product and application technique. The
above chart is for guidance only. Actual coverage may vary depending upon atmospheric conditions, application technique and equipment.
