Cellulose Insulation

Cellulose insulation is made from recycled newsprint and other recycled paper and treated with nontoxic fire retardants. Cellulose is available in two primary forms. Loose-fill cellulose is often used to insulate attics. Stabilized cellulose insulation is used to protect your entire home including sidewalls.

According to CIMA cellulose:

• takes less energy to make than any other insulation material.
• made of recycled paper has the highest level of recycled content in the insulation industry.
• helps prevent the release of the greenhouse gas methane which would result if that same paper were sent to a landfill to decompose.
