Cellulose Insulation is the most cost−effective, energy−efficient and environmentally-friendly method available for insulating residential, commercial and industrial buildings. Cellulose insulation has been widely used in the United States for over 40 years and the use of cellulose continues to grow as people learn of its many benefits.

Our cellulose insulation products are treated with 100% Boric Acid, an inert chemical that is safe to humans and the environment. Boric Acid is also non−corrosive and non−toxic. Other insulations may use ammonium sulfate or other chemicals and can’t claim the same benefits. Accept no substitutes when it comes to safety and quality!

Whether the climate is hot or cold, a building with cellulose insulation will help lower heating and air-conditioning bills while providing superior fire, mold and insect⁄rodent protection.

Cellulose Insulation is either applied so that it is enclosed in the walls and ceilings or exposed and left visible. Enclosed applications are used in residential homes, office space and finished areas in commercial buildings.

For exposed systems the cellulose insulation is sprayed on with an adhesive. Exposed applications have the same fire retardant and insect⁄rodent controlling abilities as an enclosed system. It is primarily used as an acoustical insulation and for condensation control.

1. Why is cellulose insulation better than fiberglass insulation?

When you compare the benefits of using cellulose insulation compared to that of fiberglass bat insulation, cellulose is clearly a superior product. Besides having more insulating qualities, cellulose insulation provides greater protection against fire, mold, insects and rodents.



2. How does cellulose provide superior fire protection?

Boric Acid is fused with the cellulose fibers to give it extensive fire retardant qualities. In fact, cellulose insulation with Boric Acid gives more fire protection than fiberglass insulation.



3. How does cellulose insulation protect against mold?

Our cellulose insulation is also fused with an EPA registered borate−based fungicide that helps prevent mold. Even in areas that have climates and other factors that contribute towards the growth of mold, cellulose insulation will provide greater protection against mold than other insulation products.



4. Will I have problems with insects or rodents if I use cellulose insulation?

No. Our cellulose insulation is also fused with an EPA registered borate−based insecticide that will prevent insects and rodents from wanting to nest.



5. Is cellulose insulation safe to apply and for those living and working around it?

Yes. Cellulose insulation has been a common building material in the United State for over 40 years and has an excellent history as a safe and effective. HMI WW's cellulose insulation is non−toxic and safe for humans and the environment.
