Blown-in cellulose is a highly effective insulation solution. Made from recycled newspaper and treated with borate for fire retardance, the even distribution of blown-in cellulose insulation makes for a high-performance insulation that has come into increasing favor among green builders and building energy efficiency experts. 

Benefits of cellulose insulation:

• Environmentally friendly. Cellulose is made from recycled newspaper, so it’s an earth-friendly insulation solution. You can also rest assured that it’s a safe product to have in your house — no formaldehyde, no harmful chemicals.
• Consistent high performance. Because cellulose is blown into cavities as small particles rather than installed in batt form, it’s far less likely to come with gaps and air leaks around the edges. This means that you get consistent high performance for a cozier, more energy-efficient home.
• Fire retardant. Cellulose is treated with the flame-retardant borate, which is highly effective at slowing down the spread of fires. A house that is insulated with blown-in cellulose insulation is safer from a fire-hazard standpoint than an uninsulated house.
