Applegate Loose-Fill Cellulose Insulation is a premium residential and light building insulation known for?the enhanced?comfort,?safety?and?energy savings?resulting from its use. Installers know of Applegate because of it's?ease of installation as it produces less dust than competitors during installation. Less dust allows?for a quicker and less demanding installation,?helping ensure that the time spent installing is spent getting a?custom fit in rather than dealing with the nuisances of heavy dust. Applegate Loose-Fill is often "dense packed" in both existing and new homes. Dense packing involves, heavy duty insulation machines which blow the insulation with air. The air flows out through every crack and pinhole carrying fine particles of insulation. The holes are clogged with insulation until they stop flowing and the cavity fills with a loose pile. Then the cellulose chunks charging down the tube start to slam into the loose pile and pack it. When it becomes very tight, it plugs the end of tube and stalls the insulation blower. The tube is quickly pulled back until the tip finds more loose insulation. The flow and packing process starts again and this continues until the entire cavity is solid.
