CELLULOSE INSULATION

What is Cellulose?

The word cellulose comes from the French word cellule, for a living cell, and glucose, which is sugar. Building insulation is low-thermal-conductivity material used to reduce building heat loss and gain, and reduce noise transmission. Cellulose insulation is plant fiber used in wall and roof cavities to insulate, draught proof and reduce free noise.

How Cellulose Insulation Works

Cellulose insulation can be used in both existing homes and new construction. It can be blown as loose fill insulation in attic cavities, dense packed into walls and floors, or wet spray for new construction that helps increase heat retention and has the potential to dampen noise levels, according to the Energy Audit Blog.

Benefits of Cellulose

  • Thermal performance

  • Long-term costs savings

  • Sound insulation

  • Mold and pest control

  • Fire retardation

  • Vapor barrier
