Cellulose insulation is made from recycled materials like paper and cardboard. It has benefits like being eco-friendly, fire resistant due to low oxygen content, and provides R-values of 3.1-3.7. While cellulose insulation is cheap and effective, downsides include potential allergies to newspaper dust and difficulty finding installers. Different types of cellulose insulation include drywall, wet spray, stabilized, and low-dust varieties, which are installed in various ways and provide advantages like moisture or dust resistance depending on the type.

INSULATION-CELLULOSE
INSULATION Insulation is any material that has the ability to effectively slow down heat. Throughout history, mankind has been using insulation to keep our homes and our bodies comfortable . It is supposed to put it in the walls, floors and ceilings of a home to make them more energy efficient and comfortable. How insulation works? It make your home warmer in winter and also helps keep it cooler in summer. Air is a poor conductor of heat, so the tiny pockets of air trapped in insulation minimise the amount of heat which can pass between the inside and outside of your house.

WHAT IS BUILDING INSUTALTION Building insulation refers broadly to any object in a building used as insulation for any purpose. While the majority of insulation in buildings is for thermal purposes , the term also applies to acoustic insulation, fire insulation, and impact insulation BENEFITS OF INSULATION Conserves energy by reducing heat loss or gain . Properly designed and installed insulation systems immediately reduce the need of energy. Controls surface temperature and personnel protection and comfort. Insulation reduces the surface temperature of piping and equipment to a safer level , resulting in increased in workers safety. Prevents condensation on cold surfaces. Prevents and reduces damage to equipment from exposure to fire or corrosive atmosphere

Cellulose Cellulose Insulation Material. Cellulose insulation is perhaps one of the most eco-friendly forms of insulation. Cellulose is made from recycled cardboard, paper, and other similar materials and comes in loose form. Cellulose has an R-value between R-3.1 and R-3.7. Some recent studies on cellulose have shown that it might be an excellent product for use in minimizing fire damage. Because of the compactness of the material, cellulose contains next to no oxygen within it. Without oxygen within the material, this helps to minimize the amount of damage that a fire can cause. So not only is cellulose perhaps one of the most eco-friendly forms of insulation, but it is also one of the most fire resistant forms of insulation. However, there are certain downsides to this material as well, such as the allergies that some people may have to newspaper dust. Also, finding individuals skilled in using this type of insulation is relatively hard compared to, say, fiberglass. Still, cellulose is a cheap and effective means of insulating.
There are many ways a building product can be eco-friendly and environmentally beneficial. Cellulose insulation excels in all the key areas: The higher the recycled content of the raw material used to make the product has a huge influence on the environment. Cellulose insulation is up to 85% recycled paperread more. The amount of energy required to manufacture the product has a direct impact on the environment. Cellulose insulation has the lowest embodied energy of the leading insulation products. The shipping distance from the factory to the consumer impacts the environment. Cellulose insulation is produced regionally and has generally shorter shipping distances lowering resulting fuel emissions. Having a renewable natural resource for the raw material influences the environmental aspects of the product. Cellulose insulation is made from consumer paper products, which are tied to responsible forestry management and a highly renewable resource of planted trees. The waste created during installation of a building product has an impact on the environment. Cellulose insulation is fully recovered and reused on site, when installed by professional insulation contractors, leaving virtually no excess material to return to the waste stream.
Cellulose insulation Cellulose insulation is the eco-friendly mode of insulation types. They are one of the trending insulation technique. Manufacturing process Cellulose is made up of eco- friendly materials like paper and cardboards. The papers and cardboards are recycled by cutting into fine particles and mixed with the chemicals like ammonium sulphate and mineral borate. Types of cellulose insulation Cellulose insulations is available in many types to overcome the disadvantageous factors of fiber glass insulation. Some of the types are 1. dry wall insulation 2. 2.wet spray cellulose 3. 3. stabilized cellulose 4. 4. low dust cellulose Dry wall cellulose This type is installed by blowing the cellulose through the roof by triggering the hole in the roof. This comes under low fill type

Advantage of dry wall type The molds and mildews are avoided It provides best air sealing Keeps folks away from allergic reactions Wet spray insulation This type of insulation is mostly used in walls and since it is wet, some moisture retardant should be added to it for the quick drying process. It is time consuming process Advantage of wet spray It provides good air infiltration Avoids rodents or pests from entering the house Maintains good R-value needed for insulation Act as the best sound retarder Stabilized cellulose It is often used in roof insulation especially for slopped roofs and attics They are mixed with adhesives and applied in the place Advantages of stabilized cellulose They adheres to the surface at the faster rate Less need of water for the installation process Consumes less amount of cellulose for the whole installment process then other types

Low-dust cellulose The name itself implies its usage They are used in all parts of the house They are used in places where people are sensitive to dust Advantage of low dust cellulose Despite holding the common advantages on cellulose insulation the low dust cellulose has unique feature compared to other type of cellulose insulation types They are completely dust- free. This makes people prefer the cellulose insulation type without hesitation. Preference factor of cellulose insulation over fiberglass insulation This is eco-friendly type This is resistant to noise and pest Cellulose insulation are good conductor of heat and electricity. Pitfalls of cellulose insulation This is bad moisture resister which restricts moisture from entering the house It produce more dust during installation process The more insulation provides more weight which is unsuitable for the less weight roofs. They provide some allergic reaction, due to the combination ink and dyes in the paper Despite these they are preferred by many houses and the insulation contractors does it efficiently
