What Is TAP® Insulation?
TAP® stands for Thermal Acoustical Pest Control Insulation. It’s made of cellulose fiber that’s infused with borate minerals that act as a natural insecticide. Because the borate is locked in, it stays effective for 50-100 years!
Not only that, 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 the TAP® insulation, lightweight borate particles cling to them. During grooming, they ingest the dust, disrupting their digestive systems and causing starvation. This level of protection is continuous and chemical‑free—ideal for homes that value eco-friendly solutions and lasting results.
