What Is It?
What is cellulose insulation?
Cellulose insulation is a building insulation made primarily from recycled paper products, like newsprint and cardboard, that are treated with fire-retardant borates to make them safe and resistant to pests, mold, and fire.
It's a smart, eco-friendly choice for environmentally conscious home and business owners. Blown into walls, attics, and floors with specialized equipment, it fills gaps far more completely than batt insulation, for a more comfortable, energy-efficient, and noticeably quieter property.
Key Features
What makes cellulose stand out
Four qualities make cellulose a high-performing, responsible insulation choice for the right space.
Recycled Material
Made mostly from post-consumer newsprint and cardboard, diverting waste from landfills.
Fire Resistance
Treated with boric acid for a Class 1 fire rating, keeping it safe and fully code compliant.
Dense & Quiet
Heavier than fiberglass, which cuts air leakage and dramatically improves soundproofing.
Blown-In Application
Blown into walls, attics, and cavities to fill gaps far more completely than batt insulation.
An Honest Look
Advantages & considerations
We believe in recommending the right material for your space. Here's a straight look at where cellulose shines, and the things we account for to make sure it performs.
Advantages
Why so many eco-minded owners choose cellulose.
Environmentally friendly
Up to 85% recycled content makes it one of the greenest insulation options available.
Excellent thermal performance
An R-value comparable to or better than fiberglass, with strong resistance to air infiltration.
Outstanding sound reduction
Dense fibers absorb sound waves, creating a quieter, more peaceful indoor environment.
Safer to handle
No fiberglass particles to irritate skin and lungs, during installation or after.
Considerations
And how our professional installation handles each one.
Can settle over time
If under-installed, cellulose may settle. We install to the correct density so it doesn't.
Absorbs moisture
More than spray foam. We assess your space to confirm cellulose is the right fit.
Needs professional installation
Density matters. Our team uses specialized blowing equipment to get it right.
Not for every space
Cellulose isn't ideal for every application. We'll be honest about whether it's right for your project.
