Blown-in cellulose attic insulation is a better alternative to fiberglass insulation. According to insulation specialists, cellulose is a natural wood product, and 75 percent of what it's made from is recycled newspaper. Fire-retardant chemical additives give the material a class-1 fire rating, making it a very safe product.

One of the biggest advantages of using cellulose attic insulation is its performance. In fact, because of its density, it has a higher R-rating than and outperforms many common insulation products. Its loose nature makes it easier to install into irregular spaces, creating a custom-fit monolithic seal over an entire area.

Environmental Advantages

From both health and environmental perspectives, cellulose is considered a "green" product -- more ecologically sound than competing products. It doesn't contain formaldehyde, and cancer warnings are not required on its labeling.

Since there are no glass fibers, as with fiberglass insulation, cellulose does not cause itch.

With cellulose insulation, installed according to the Department of Energy's R-value recommendations, homeowners can usually realize a 20 percent to 40 percent savings on their utility bills. In newer homes, with fiberglass insulation already installed, cellulose can be installed over the fiberglass for increased savings.

Reduce damaging heat and moisture

Making sure your attic and walls are properly insulated can result in significant savings on your energy bills.
