Blown cellulose insulation is a safe alternative to high-chemical expanding spray foam insulation, and is recognized as an environmentally responsible choice when insulating attics, walls, ceilings and high loft areas where airKrete or other means may not be the most practical solution. We use Climatizer Plus cellulose insulation as our preferred product. It is the high quality, environmentally-friendly and healthy choice for builders and homeowners.
Environmental Benefits of Cellulose

- No pollutants are used in manufacturing or installation
- Helps prevent the release of the greenhouse gases which would result if that same paper were sent to a landfill to decompose
- Regionally produced, using local recycling programs and independent recyclers and servicing communities close to home
- Meets the strict requirements set by Environment Canada to be labeled “environmentally friendly”
- Recognized by the ECOLOGO™ Program as an “Environmental Choice” product
- Very high recycled content: a blend of 85% recycled newspaper and 15% biodegradable materials such as fire-proofing additives
- Fire safe – treated with non-toxic fire retardants
- Healthier for installers – no special safety precautions (besides a standard mask) are necessary
