Blown-in cellulose insulation is an eco-friendly, cost-effective option made from 80-85% recycled newspaper treated with fire-retardant borate compounds, ideal for upgrading attic insulation and filling enclosed wall cavities in existing New Brunswick homes without major renovation.
Cellulose is particularly well-suited for NB retrofit projects because it can be dense-packed into closed wall cavities through small access holes, filling voids and settling gaps that have developed over decades in the province's aging housing stock — many Fredericton and Saint John homes built before 1980 have walls with little or no insulation.
New Brunswick homeowners may qualify for NB Power and federal Greener Homes Grant rebates when upgrading cellulose insulation to current NB Building Code standards, making this one of the most affordable energy efficiency improvements available in the province.
What's Included
- 80-85% recycled content for environmentally responsible insulation
