Is cellulose insulation safe? Yes, it is, in fact, safer than traditional insulation, because it does not contain fiberglass or formaldehyde. Additionally, cellulose insulation is treated with fire-retardant chemicals, earning it a class-1 fire rating.
What is the installation process? Cellulose is added to a blower and then blown in to your attic, crawl space, or whatever space is in need of insulation.
What kind of savings will I see? In addition to the money you will save on energy costs and the increased value of your home, you’re also saving money by choosing cellulose insulation over traditional fiberglass insulation.
