TrueComfort System
Insulation Terms and Values
R-value: The resistance (R) to heat or cold. The higher the R-value, the greater the resistance
and the better the insulation factor.
Settlement : All blown insulation will settle after installation. Your TrueComfort system installs at settled
density. Consult the chart on the material bag for coverage and install accordingly.
CFM: Blowers are measured by Cubic Feet per Minute. A low CFM blower reduces “dust”
when blowing insulation into an attic.
PSI: Blowers are also rated by Pounds of pressure per Square Inch. A high PSI does a better
job of blowing insulation.
Bridging: A pocket of air, or void, created by improper agitation in the hopper. A “bridge” can
stop production until cleared. Your TrueComfort system is designed with a non-bridging
hopper. However, you may experience a temporary bridge while using your machine.
Waiting a few seconds will most likely clear a temporary bridge. If not, unplug your
machine and redistribute the material in the hopper.
Ventilation: Proper air flow requires one square foot of air movement for every 150 square feet
of attic area.
Airlock seal: Also known as flapper, rubbers, paddles.
