Cellulose Blown In vs. Fiberglass Blown-In Insulation

Cellulose blown in insulation and fibreglass blown in insulation are both types of insulation that can be installed in attics, basements, crawl spaces, and roofs. They are both made of natural or synthetic materials, and they are both effective at preventing heat transfer. However, there are some key differences between the two types of insulation.

Cellulose blown in insulation is made of recycled paper products, such as newspapers and cardboard. It is treated with a fire retardant, which makes it fire-resistant. It is also environmentally friendly because it is made of recycled materials. Fibreglass blown in insulation is made of very fine glass fibers. It is non-combustible and does not absorb moisture. However, it is not environmentally friendly because it is made of glass fibers, which are not biodegradable.

Both types of insulation are effective at preventing heat transfer. Cellulose blown in insulation has an R-value of 3.5 per inch, while fibreglass blown in insulation has an R-value of 3.0 per inch. However, cellulose blown in insulation is more environmentally friendly and fire-resistant, while fibreglass blown in insulation is more durable and does not absorb moisture.
