Cellulose is a naturally superior material for insulation. The long, inter-locking fibers of recycled newsprint resist settling and create an exceptional thermal barrier. Cellulose insulation has a long and rich history in the construction industry, going back to the 1930's. And, despite its established, time-proven status, cellulose has improved in quality and sophistication over time, and it now provides exceptional resistance to fire, moisture, mold, and vermin.
No other insulation can claim these benefits and also provide the superior thermal and sound insulation that comes naturally to cellulose..
In the United States, the first architect who used insulation was Thomas Jefferson in his design of Monticello. And the insulation he used was cellulose. In Australia, sawdust and paper were used in ceilings as insulation over 100 years ago. There are still examples today of houses with sawdust and paper insulation from the 1900's. |
