Do you need to insulate your home? If you’re looking for a material that is environmentally friendly, you have a few different options. Consider cellulose and fiberglass.
Types of Sustainable Insulation
Cellulose Insulation
Cellulose insulation is both eco-friendly and highly efficient. In fact, cellulose loose-fill insulation is one of the most environmentally friendly insulation products currently on the market—meaning you’re saving money on energy bills while helping save the environment!
There are many benefits when choosing cellulose insulation for your home, including:
- Thermal performance – with an R-value of 3.8 per inch, cellulose insulation works great when it comes to keeping your house warm, preventing unwanted air infiltration, convective airflows and thermal bridging.
- Eco-friendliness – made from up to 85 percent recycled material, cellulose insulation is one of the most sustainable types of insulation on the market.
- Noise reduction – cellulose helps reduce the amount of sound traveling through walls and floors. In our experience, loose-fill cellulose is one of the best types of insulation for soundproofing.
CertainTeed Fiberglass Insulation
Fiberglass Insulation from CertainTeed helps maximize energy efficiency in your household and meets the American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) C665 standards, making it one of the safest insulation choices on the market for your Southern California home.
