AA Insulation uses “environmentally friendly” blown cellulose fibre (fiber) insulation What are the main considerations when comparing cellulose insulation to fibreglass insulation?
• High recycled content typically discarded newspapers reduces waste going to landfills. • Good for the atmosphere less energy is used to install cellulose insulation and the buildings perform closer to calculated expectations fuel savings also translate into lower atmospheric emissions. • Less fuel and power to fabricate more fuel, electric power, transportation requirements and human resources to package, transport and install. • Non-carcinogenic with only nuisance dust (causing sneezing and coughing), healthier for installers who may come into contact with suspected cancer-causing agents or chemicals found in fibreglass insulations. • Higher R-per-inch value. Less material required to achieve R32 and R40. • Greater reduction in air leakage. Closer natural fit when installed. • Repels mice, insects and other vermin. Discourages nesting. • Greater ability to resist moisture. Maintains acceptable moisture levels. • Biodegradable. After disposal. How does cellulose insulation help reduc
