What Is TAP® Insulation?
TAP stands for Thermal • Acoustical • Pest Control. Cellulose fibers are infused with borate minerals that act as a natural insecticide—remaining effective for decades. Lab tests and real‑world attics show TAP’s R‑Value and STC rating meet or exceed fiberglass standards, offering stronger thermal retention and noticeably quieter rooms.
How TAP® Insulation Works
When insects move through TAP Insulation, lightweight borate particles cling to them. During grooming, they ingest the dust, disrupting digestion and causing starvation. The protection is continuous and chemical‑free—ideal for eco‑conscious households seeking lasting results.
