Upon completion of a feasibility study in September, 1977, All-Weather
Insulation Co. was formed and a cellulose manufacturing plant was established.
Thomas W. Clements, who remains with the company today, was involved in the
cellulose insulation industry in the Chicago area. Realizing there was a
shortage of cellulose at that time, Tom came to Springfield, KY and discussed
the idea of starting a cellulose manufacturing facility with his brother, John
Pat Clements. They determined that if they could sell one truckload of
cellulose per day the company would be successful.
The insulation industry grew rapidly during the 1970's. However, once the
energy crisis was over, there were major shake-ups in cellulose manufacturing.
At the time, there were 22 manufacturing plants operating in Kentucky, but
once the CPSC was finished, only All-Weather Insulation Co. remained.
In 1982 All-Weather Insulation Co. expanded its business to include the
distribution of fiberglass insulation to its customer base. By 1986 the
business had grown rapidly and All-Weather found it necessary to build a new
distribution warehouse. In addition, a new product--hydroseeding mulch--was
developed. This product is made up of ninety percent recycled newsprint with
a dye additive. It is used mainly in the coal industry for land reclamation
after mining, and in the highway construction industry.
In 1988 All-Weather Insulation Co. began producing metal building insulation.
This insulation, used in post frame and steel buildings, is produced by
laminating various types of vinyl facings to a fiberglass blanket. It is
available in numerous sizes and thickness and most often is custom-made based on
building dimensions.
At the present time, All-Weather Insulation Co. is one of few distributors that
offer a full line of insulation and accessories, in addition to a support team that
assists its customers in accomplishing any project they may have.
