Welcome To CIMA

Insulating your home or commercial building saves energy (which saves you money), keeps you warmer in the winter and cooler in the summer, and is one of the best things you can do to protect the environment.

But which insulation should you choose?

This site is designed to assist you in researching the performance and environmental impact of the insulation choices available to you.

Prepared by the Cellulose Insulation Manufacturers Association, this website provides side-by-side comparisons of insulating materials to make the job of choosing the right insulation for your application easier.
