Common Questions

What is Cellulose Insulation?

Cellulose thermal building insulation is the greenest insulation alternative composed of recovered and selected organic newsprint and other paper sources, releasing greenhouse gases during decomposition. With almost up to 85% post-consumer products, it is treated with non-toxic additives to add features such as fire resistance and retardation, as well as mould and pest resistance. Celluloseman utilizes and specializes in loose-fill (blown-in) installation used for numerous applications:

Attics
Cathedral Ceilings
Exterior Walls
Interior Walls
Floors
Basement Walls
Factory Built Homes

What are the benefits of adding or replacing insulation?

Adding or replenishing your property’s insulation allows owners to save both on energy and utility costs. With bulk cellulose’s ability to maintain its R-value and cover tight areas, penetration of outside air is prevented. Insulation inhibits the movement of air from warm to cold (interior to exterior) in winter and cold to warm in summer (exterior to interior) by trapping air between its pores and fibres.
