The most important thing to know before having new insulation installed in your home is that there are many different options available. Each option offers its own advantages and disadvantages, whether it’s spray foam, batt, or cellulose insulation. It’s important to have a complete understanding of each one to help you decide which option might be best for your home.
In this article, we’ll discuss the details of cellulose insulation to help you decide if it might be the right choice for you. Here are three key things you should know about it:
- Composition: Each type of insulation is composed of different materials. Cellulose insulation is composed of recycled paper that is treated with boric acid to make it a good insulator and resistant to mold, fire, and pests.
- Installation method: Cellulose insulation is also a loose-fill insulation, so it is blown in through a tube into your wall. This allows it to be a less invasive installation process compared to other types of insulation because it only requires a small hole in the wall that can be quickly repaired after the installation process.
- Thorough coverage: It can often be difficult to insulate small spaces and gaps in the wall, but you don’t have that problem with cellulose insulation. The installation method allows us to reach and fill even the smallest gaps for sufficient insulating solutions and protection.
