Cellulose Insulation Applications:

Cellulose insulation has many possible applications, such as attics, walls, entire buildings and it‘s even a great option when someone is looking to add to their existing insulation; cellulose can be layered right over it, without any removal needed. Adding cellulose insulation will surely increase your property’s energy efficiency by adding an extra layer of thermal protection to it. Properly installed cellulose will eliminate any possible air leakage and drafts – two major contributors to energy loss.

Safe and Effective Insulation Option | Cellulose Insulation Minneapolis MN

We previously discussed that cellulose insulation is mainly constructed of recycled material, such as newspaper…That may have you concerned because newspaper is highly flammable, usually something used to help start fires. But cellulose insulation, though just picking up major popularity, has been around since the 1950s and is treated to be permanently fire resistant. This non-toxic and very effective insulation type is definitely worth considering if you are looking for long lasting performance.

The ‘Green’ Choice For Insulation | Cellulose Insulation Minneapolis

In addition to being made of recycled material, cellulose insulation is the ‘green’ insulation type for more reasons than just lessening our waste level. Cellulose insulation has lesser energy manufacturing needs than fiberglass. Both combined make cellulose a very eco-friendly choice, without compromising performance.

Energy Rebates for Cellulose Insulation:

Energy rebates are now given to home owners who improve the air sealing insulation in their homes. Century Insulation performs inspections for these rebates for Xcel Energy and Centerpoint Energy, looking for places where there might be leaks or drafts in a home’s walls or attic. After we discover any leaks and install the necessary insulation to ensure that your home is tightly sealed up for winter and for summer, your energy company will give you a rebate for part of the upgrades. This is a win-win, as insulation improvements will allow you to save money on your energy bills while someone else pays for part of the improvements. Additionally, when we do an energy performance inspection, we look for unacceptable air loss in the attic, which can cause ice dams to form. When an ice dam forms on the roof of your home, it can result in water damage to the walls and ceiling, therefore enabling mold and mildew to grow. But following an energy inspection from Century Insulation and, if needed, any cellulose insulation is installed, your home will be sealed up toasty warm and free of any potential mold growth to the walls or attic. And cellulose insulation also acts as a vapor barrier, in that one does not need to be used, as this type of insulation prevents the build-up of moisture and doesn’t allow air movement due to its dense nature.
