Cellulose Insulation

Cellulose insulation is a type of green insulation composed of recycled paper and newsprint, which if not used for insulation, could have been put into a landfill. Installing cellulose insulation decreases toxins in your home, reduces landfill waste, and is quick to install. Cellulose comes as a loose fill, which can be blown into open attic floors and small holes in existing walls. Blown cellulose has an R-Value of about R-3.5 per inch. It is mixed with boric acid which is used as a pest repellant and fire retardant.

Cellulose insulation is safe for your health, as it is created from recycled paper, and does not contain any carcinogens. By properly insulating your investment, you are cutting down energy usage and preserving the natural resources needed to heat or cool the structure.
