One of the specialities at Tight Right Homes is blown insulation, and depending on the job, we make use of both cellulose and fibreglass products.  We use only the highest quality products and pass on the manufacturer’s warranty to the customer.  As for the installation guarantee and full customer satisfaction, this is something that we stand behind ourselves.
Both are designed for use in roofing, in the attic, and sometimes inside the walls. Â Needless to say, both of them have their own specific advantages, and brand manufacturers are on board to support, promote and market their particular product. Â When it comes to actual insulation value, cellulose and fiberglass have quite similar values.Â
However, over a long duration of time, cellulose has a tendency to settle in its place, and this settling could have an affect on the relative insulation value. Â In contrast, the fiberglass manufacturers argue that their product does no settling over long periods of time. Â Bottom line: whether the choice is cellulose or fiberglass, each product has its own potential when reacting and responding to weather conditions, based on singular product features.Â
Mineral wool is made from inorganic fibers that are derived from a volcanic rock known as basalt. Mineral wool is a high-temperature insulation with high-density and hydrophobic properties making it highly fire-resistant, a great acoustic insulator, and resistant to mildew, mold, and fungi growth.
Mineral wool insulation is typically used to insulate attics, ceilings, floors, and walls.
Blown-in insulation is commonly available in either a cellulose composition or fibreglass. Quite an effective option in the attic and/or roof cavity, both products provide comparable R-Value where installed. While the cellulose product is known to provide somewhat higher R-Values, it also tends to settle after time. Each of the product compositions comes with attributes – but importantly, it’s the professional installation that will assure optimal long-term performance.Â
Blown-in insulation is fabricated to be fire-resistant. Cellulose is treated to stop the spread of fire, while fibreglass is by nature hard to ignite. Fire resistance is a necessary feature in the attic.
