Cellulose vs Fiberglass Insulation

We frequently receive inquiries about differentiating between fiberglass insulation and cellulose insulation. This video effectively showcases the advantages of choosing cellulose insulation over attic installations.

The DOE recommends attics in northern states be insulated to at least R-49, yet most U.S. homes have insufficient insulation, typically less than R-20. Exposed fiberglass insulation can lose 50% of its R-Value over time, while cellulose insulation degrades three times slower.

TruSoft cellulose insulation, coupled with effective air sealing, may reduce heating and cooling costs by up to 40% and lower air infiltration by 38% compared to fiberglass. Its unique two-stage process incorporates fire retardants, exceeding safety standards.

Cellulose, treated with borate and made from recycled newspaper, enhances fire safety and is eco-friendly. It's non-toxic and healthier than fiberglass, which was listed as 'reasonably anticipated' to cause cancer in 1993 by the National Toxicology Program.
