Cellulose insulation, a popular option for decades, offers a sustainable approach to keeping your home comfortable. This eco-friendly material is made from recycled paper products, such as newspapers, treated with natural chemicals for pest and fire resistance.
While all insulation materials eventually degrade and lose effectiveness over time, cellulose blown-in insulation generally lasts between 20 to 30 years. Factors like the age of your home, severe weather exposure, and potential damage can influence its lifespan.
Upgrading to new insulation ensures optimal energy efficiency and comfort in your home. Consult a professional to assess your current insulation and determine if a replacement is necessary for a healthier and more sustainable living space.
