What Is Cellulose Insulation?

Made from recycled paper products, cellulose insulation offers an affordable and eco-friendly way to eliminate uncomfortable drafts in your home. Manufacturers often insert additives such as borate and ammonium sulfate into the mix to keep the material fire-resistant and to repel insects. The mixture is then pulverized into tiny pieces and fibers and blown into place using specialized pneumatic equipment.

Blown-in cellulose insulation helps make your home airtight, eliminating uncomfortable drafts. It also creates a thermal barrier that allows your HVAC systems to operate more efficiently. Less hot air enters your home in the summer; more warmth stays inside during the winter. In addition to preventing heat from entering or leaving your home, blown-in cellulose insulation helps block outside noises for a quieter home-sweet-home.

Perfect for places where it’s challenging to install other types of insulation, cellulose works well for a variety of applications. It readily conforms to tight spaces, allowing you to insulate your home without disrupting your property.

• Odd-sized building cavities
• Attics with electrical wiring
• Areas with HVAC ductwork
• Crawlspaces with plumbing pipes
• Interior walls

Budget-Friendly Benefits

As with all insulative materials, the efficacy of cellulose insulation is determined by its R-value. With an R-value of 3.5 to 3.8 per inch, cellulose is less efficient than other types of insulation. It also costs significantly less to install. Thanks to its adaptability, blown-in cellulose insulation helps create the tight envelope for your home that you need to enjoy a quieter, more comfortable home. Is cellulose right for you?
