Cellulose insulation typically consists of tiny fragments of recycled paper and cardboard. These pieces are treated with a flame retardant for safety purposes before they are blown into attics and between wall spaces as a filler. Many homeowners and property owners choose cellulose insulation because it is effective, cost-efficient and eco-conscious. At 5 Star Performance Insulation, Inc., our skilled and experienced contractors provide the following types of cellulose installation:
Attic insulation: Cellulose insulation that is placed in attics helps to regulate temperatures in your home by preventing climate-controlled inside air from escaping outside. This type of insulation can easily be blown into attics and can cover small corners and crevasses creating a successful battier between indoor and outdoor environments
Wall insulation: loose fill cellulose can be blown into walls for immediate insulation results. The denser the cellulose is packed, the more efficient the insulation becomes. Additionally. this variety of insulation has soundproofing qualities that can help reduce the transfer of noises from one room to another.
