Cellulose Blown-in Insulation

Cellulose insulation is a smart alternative to fiberglass. It provides a green, efficient, non-toxic, affordable thermal solution. Blown-in cellulose insulation has a very high R Value per inch of thickness. It has the highest R value of all insulations,It provides an R-value of approximately R-3.5 per inch of thickness. Tightly packed cellulose provides a thermally efficient, cost effective, and comfortable solution.

A blown-in cellulose insulation is an effective way to insulate the attic or basement. This type of insulation is made from recycled waste materials such as woodchips, straw, and paper. It can be blown into the attic through a hose or compressed by hand. Blown-in cellulose insulation can be sealed with spray foam to provide additional weather resistance. When used properly, blown-in cellulose insulation can help keep your home comfortable in the winter and cool in the summer. It’s also a good choice if you have allergies.

Cellulose is “green.” It’s made of 80% post-consumer recycled newsprint. The fiber is chemically treated with non-toxic borate compounds (20% by weight) to resist fire, insects and mold.
