Cellulose Insulation Blocking Out the Unwanted Intrusions |

The seamless seal provided by cellulose insulation is an unbeatable blocker of air and sound infiltration, which is a huge comfort factor to consider when looking at insulation options.
Field tests have proven that a cellulose seal is 36% tighter than that of a fiberglass seal, which means the outside elements - be it weather or noise - have a tough time flowing into and throughout the building.
In 2005, The Conservation Services Group in Massachusetts conducted a study on air tightness in single and multi-family homes that had Energy Star approval ratings. There was two test groups, one for wall insulation and one for ceiling/roof insulation. The results showed homes using cellulose were significantly tighter than those using fiberglass.
