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

- 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
