- 15% faster return on investment (this is possible because cellulose has less air leakage and has a higher R-value per inch. In most homes your roof line will dictate the amount of insulation that can be added, especially around the perimeter of the attic where the roof meets with the top of the wall).
- 63% safer in the event of a fire. All though cellulose is made of recycled news paper it is treated with borax which is proven to be an amazing fire retardant. There is actually a test to prove this by typing in " The Big Burn Test" in Google or copy and paste this link http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bhKaXSusPpU. You should find a video produced by a fire department who conducted a study in regards to the flammability characteristics of cellulose and fiberglass.
- 85%-100% recycled content makes cellulose the sustainable choice.
- It is no longer dusty. Here is a link you can copy and paste in your browser to see a video demonstration. http://youtu.be/2HOn-DhmudI
- Rodents, pests and insects are deterred by cellulose
- Better sound control because of its density, keeping your home much quieter
- No itch. If you ever have to go back up in to your attic for electrical issues, plumbing issues etc, you wont come out of your attic scratching your self like you have just been bitten by a thousand mosquitoes.
