On October 23, Convoy hosted SOPREMA training sessions for their new SOPRA-CELLULOSE product at the RCABC headquarters in Langley, BC. SOPRA-CELLULOSE is made of 85% post-consumer recycled newspaper, allows for a fast and simple install, and acts as a protective shield to reduce the transmission of heat and sound with an R value of 3.7/inch.
The training sessions were aimed at shingle roofing installers to introduce them to a potential new revenue stream, and covered the technical specifications and benefits of SOPRA-CELLULOSE, methods for integrating it into their existing business, and a live installation demo.
Dino Mariotti from SOPREMA introduces everyone to the benefits of SOPRA-CELLULOSE.

SOPRA-CELLULOSE and a blowtorch… Monique Tute from Convoy Supply demonstrates the faith we have in the products we carry. (Note: don’t do this with fibreglass!)

Dino demonstrates a method to reduce dust to nearly zero during installation.
Just place the hose beneath what you’ve already installed and the existing cellulose traps the dust.
