About Cellulose Insulation

Cellulose insulation is an eco-friendly and effective option for enhancing your home's energy efficiency. Our company specializes in installing loose-fill blown-in cellulose insulation for attics, which fills gaps and creates a dense thermal barrier, reducing heat transfer and air leaks. Additionally, we offer wall-sprayed cellulose insulation that provides excellent coverage in wall cavities, improving overall insulation performance. Cellulose insulation's high R-value contributes to maintaining consistent indoor temperatures, lowering energy consumption, and reducing heating and cooling costs. By choosing our cellulose insulation services, you ensure a well-insulated home that minimizes the impact of external weather, lessens the load on your HVAC system, and promotes long-term energy savings.

Cellulose Insulation Options

At S&S Insulation, we provide two primary cellulose insulation options to improve your home's energy efficiency and comfort: blown-in loose-fill cellulose and wall-sprayed cellulose insulation.

  • Blown-In Loose-Fill Cellulose

    Primarily used in attics, loose-fill cellulose consists of recycled paper fibers treated for fire retardancy and pest resistance. It is blown into open attic spaces creating a dense, seamless thermal barrier. This type of insulation conforms to irregular spaces and hard-to-reach nooks, effectively reducing heat transfer and air leakage. It is an excellent choice for retrofitting older homes as well as new construction, providing an eco-friendly, cost-effective solution to attic insulation needs.

  • Wall-Sprayed Cellulose

    Wall-sprayed cellulose is specially formulated for application inside wall cavities. Applied as a damp spray, it adheres firmly to the interior surfaces of walls, eliminating gaps and voids that traditional insulation methods might leave behind. This ensures superior thermal performance and air sealing, helping to stabilize indoor temperatures and improve indoor air quality. Wall-sprayed cellulose is ideal for new construction or remodeling projects where dense, uniform insulation is required in the walls.

Benefits of Cellulose Insulation

  • Energy Efficiency: Both blown-in and wall-sprayed cellulose provide excellent R-values, helping maintain consistent indoor temperatures and reduce energy bills.

  • Eco-Friendly: Made primarily from recycled paper, cellulose insulation is a sustainable choice with a low environmental impact.

  • Air Sealing: Cellulose fills gaps and voids effectively, minimizing drafts and improving overall comfort.

  • Fire Resistant: Treated cellulose insulation contains fire retardants, enhancing your home's safety.

S&S Insulation’s cellulose options offer versatile, reliable solutions tailored to your attic and wall insulation needs, contributing to a more energy-efficient and comfortable living environment.

Cellulose Insulation FAQs

What is the best insulation?

The best insulation depends on your specific needs, such as climate, budget, and application. Common effective types include fiberglass for affordability, spray foam for air sealing, and cellulose for eco-friendliness. Choosing the right one starts with understanding your project requirements..

How much insulation do I need?

The amount of insulation you need depends on your climate, the area you're insulating, and your home's current insulation levels. Generally, insulation is measured in R-values, which indicate resistance to heat flow. For most homes, recommended R-values range from R-13 to R-21 for walls, and R-30 to R-60 for attics. It's best to consult local building codes or a professional to determine the exact amount suited for your project.

Can I insulate my existing walls?

Professional assessment is recommended as a multitude of factors can impact the ability to properly insulate existing walls.

Do you sell insulation material only?

No, we do not sell only insulation material. We also offer installation services, consulting, and energy efficiency solutions to support your project from start to finish.

Do you remove existing insulation?

Yes, we do remove insulation. We can remove existing fiberglass batt and loose-fill insulation, as well as loose-fill cellulose in attic spaces.

Do you insulate old homes?

Yes, we do! We usually install extra attic insulation and can also insulate crawlspaces. We work on both older homes and new construction.
