Sprayed Cellulose Insulation – Cellulose vs. Fiberglass Insulation

Some advantages of cellulose insulation is for the environment. This is the first advantage.  Sprayed cellulose insulation is also referred as “green insulation” as it is made using recycled material like cardboard, paperboard, newsprint, and other such waste paper products or recycled content. It is very cost-effective and environmentally friendly.

Is it Blown or Sprayed Insulation

The blown in cellulose insulation method (cellulose (loose fill) is best used in open cavities in new construction buildings and cathedral-type wall and ceiling frames. Like any other insulating system, cellulose insulation keeps the heat inside your house and doesn’t let it escape (cavity wall insulation). This is the perfect green product commonly used for adding insulation to attics for the additional cost savings.

Get More R Value

As for the heat insulation, the r value is higher than that of fiberglass batts. This makes it possible to add r-30 cellulose insulation at 9 inch space as compared to a 13-inch space required by the fiberglass. However, you can still store more energy by adding a few more inches of blow-in cellulose insulation.

This product is not only effective in energy storage but will also help you save thousands of dollars in energy bills. It is 200% times more energy efficient to fiberglass methods of insulation.

No Sagging

Because the product is sprayed; it makes sure that there is no sagging or drooping like that in fiberglass batts. Highly pact blown cellulose insulation inherently also prevents air penetration, works wonderful for sound insulation.

What Makes Cellulose Insulation the Best Choice

It is treated with non-toxic boric acid compounds to protect it from mold. The borates in paper insulation provide superior control against mold, insects, and pests such as rodents. Just one step in the mold and pest control of your home.  Cellulose insulation not only keeps your home cool in the summer and warm in the winter, but they are also fire retardant, energy efficient, mold-resistant, and sound-proofing.

Becoming More and More Popular

Cellulose insulation is being increasingly used these days due to being environment friendly, as you need not worry about the fiberglass particles floating around the house. Cellulose insulation is very eco-friendly, using no voc’s, cfc’s or hcfc’s, plus it’s easy and very safe to install. For example, cellulose insulation has a very high green value because it’s made from old newspapers.

Environmentally Friendly

Cellulose attic insulation is growing in popularity, in part due to being one of the most environmentally preferable insulation types available. Similar to any other insulating machine, cellulose insulation maintains the heat inside your house and doesn’t let it run away.  One of the best your choices you can make for your home is sprayed cellulose insulation.
