Cellulose Insulation: A Smart, Environmentally Friendly Choice.
Cellulose insulation offers a sustainable and intelligent solution for modern building needs. As an efficient, non-toxic, and affordable alternative to fiberglass, it appeals to environmentally conscious customers seeking a truly “green” option.
Made from recycled newsprint, cellulose is ground into a lightweight material and treated with non-toxic borate compounds to enhance fire resistance. Furthermore, it provides several key benefits:
- Non-corrosive
- Non-irritating to skin
- Repellant of insects and vermin
- Mold-resistant
Because of these qualities, builders can use cellulose in both new construction and retrofit projects without worrying about negative effects on other building materials.
Cellulose Wall Spray Application
For open stud cavities, commonly found in new construction or remodels, we apply cellulose using a wall spray method. This approach:
- Delivers excellent air sealing
- Reduces sound transmission effectively
- Remains one of the most popular insulation choices
- Enhances indoor comfort and quiet
The cellulose contains a dry adhesive that activates when mixed with water. As a result, it stays firmly in place within wall cavities. Once applied, we shave the excess flush with the studs, ensuring your walls are ready for finishing.
Cellulose Loose Fill Application
To insulate new or existing attic spaces, we use a loose fill method. This is an efficient way to meet recommended R-values in attics and other unconditioned areas. Additionally, we offer dense-packing—an advanced method where we blow cellulose into existing walls using a drill-and-fill technique. This not only improves air sealing but also helps lower your energy bills.
Moreover, we can install netting to further reduce sound transmission, making your space quieter and more comfortable.
A Truly Eco-Friendly Insulation
Cellulose insulation contains up to 85% post-consumer recycled newsprint and is manufactured using a process that emits virtually no CO₂. By choosing cellulose, you help reduce landfill waste and minimize jobsite debris, since we vacuum and reuse leftover material.
Unlike other insulation options, cellulose does not contain asbestos, formaldehyde, or fiberglass. It also requires significantly less energy to produce than fiberglass, which conserves raw materials and natural resources, making it the clear “Green” choice.
