Cellulose Insulation

CelluloseInsulation

It is possible to blow insulation into various parts of the home. It can be blown into the attic of course, but it can also be blown into the areas between the span and the rafters, and also inside the wall cavities.  These serve to make your home energy efficient and more comfortable. When choosing the most affordable option for home energy upgrading, cellulose is the right choice. Cellulose is made from recycled material. It is an environmentalist recommended option.  There are many manufacturers of cellulose within the United States. They conduct the magical process of using grind-processing machinery to turn wastepaper into a feathery, light mass with an R-Value of up to R-4 per inch. A borate solution that is non-toxic makes the Cellulose Mold and insects resistant. It also gives the Cellulose a Class 1 fire safety rating. This is the highest of all other products. When produced the cellulose is made into a bale and packed in large bags which are sold directly to the insulation professional installers and also retail distributors.
