Hi,
I'm wondering if anybody knows about this stuff called blow-in cellulose insulation?
The insulation in our 3 attics is not the best (even the inspector mentioned this when we made an offer on the house), but we haven't had a chance to look into upgrading it yet.
Anyway, someone was telling me about cellulose insulation which seems to be made of ground up newspaper with a fire retardant added. Apparently it's blown into the attics via a large gauge hose, creating almost 2 feet of depth on the flooring of the attics.
This is supposed to act as a great insulation, possibly better than fiberglass and/or anything that you would put on the actual ceiling of the attics.
Anybody know of this or have any experience with this?
Thanks.
