Attics, walls, ceilings, floors
What it is
Cellulose insulation is an environmentally friendly, cost-effective alternative to spray foam insulation, made from recycled paper. It can be used throughout a home to improve comfort and efficiency, and it works in attics, walls, ceilings and floors.
It fills small gaps and voids to form a dense, effective barrier rather than leaving the thermal gaps that batts tend to.
Why people choose it
- Lower energy bills: it fills gaps tightly and holds indoor temperature, so the HVAC runs less
- Fire and mould resistance: treated with boric acid for Class I fire resistance
- Noise reduction: its density blocks sound through walls and floors, by up to 60 percent
- Pest deterrent: the boric acid treatment also discourages insects
