Why Many Homeowners Prefer Cellulose Insulation

Cellulose insulation is one of our favorite types of insulation for homes and businesses everywhere—and many of our customers agree. This simple-looking insulation is surprisingly powerful as an insulator, and it carries a litany of other benefits that our customers love. But what exactly are these benefits? And what makes cellulose insulation so different?

In this month’s blog post, we’re discussing the many benefits of choosing cellulose insulation for your home.

High Quality Thermal Resistance

The first question you’re probably asking yourself is this: is cellulose insulation actually a good insulator?

Well, yes. Cellulose insulation is one of the best insulators to help keep your home cool in the summer and warm in the winter. More concretely, cellulose has a larger R-Value than fiberglass. Where fiberglass only has an R-value of 2.2 to 2.7 per inch, cellulose insulation has an R-value of roughly 3.5 per inch.

All in all, cellulose insulation is some of the most effect insulation you can get for the price you pay.

Sound Absorption and Dampening

Do you live by busy roads, highways, or train tracks? If so, then you’re probably accustomed to constant noise—day and night.

If this describes your circumstance, then you may benefit from cellulose insulation’s superior sound absorption capabilities. Because cellulose insulation is thick and has few air pockets, it has superior sound dampening properties, helping reduce noise through walls.

Environmentally Friendly Insulation

Unlike some other types of insulation that rely on combinations of chemical compounds that can be hazardous to the environment, cellulose insulation is perhaps the most environmentally friendly insulation around. Cellulose insulation is made from recycled paper, which reduced the demand for new materials. At the same time, cellulose insulation is easy to recycle and has little carbon footprint of its own, making it exceptional for minimizing waste and greenhouse gas emissions.

Pest Control

In addition to thermal resistance and sound dampening, cellulose insulation is also noted for its resistance to pests. Some cellulose insulations even come with additional pesticides and components that are safe for your home but effective at keeping out bugs.
