Cellulose (Recycled Paper) Loft Insulation

The Burdens Environmental Cellulose insulation is made from recycled newspaper and treated with fire retardants and insect protection.

Simple & Easy to Install
Cellulose insulation is thus environmentally friendly and easy to handle and install unlike some traditional insulations. Cellulose is very good at fitting around items in walls like pipes and wiring leaving few air pockets that can reduce the overall efficiency of the wall. It also seals walls from air infiltration while providing the density to limit convection.

Proven Performance
The University of Colorado School of Architecture and Planning conducted a study that compared two seemingly identical test structures, one with cellulose and the other with fiberglass. The cellulose structure had used 26.4% less energy to heat. It also was shown to tighten the structure more than 30%. Subsequent real world surveys have cellulose performing 20-30% better at reducing energy used for heating than fiberglass.
