Insulation contractors

are often considered about half

a step above the porta-john guy.

That’s because insulation is one of

the most taken-for-granted systems

in a house. It’s installed in exterior

walls one day and covered up with

sheetrock.

 

Cellulose fiber is produced from paper, which in turn is

derived from wood. However the insulation is installed —

blown into the attic or damp-sprayed into wall cavities —

the material is the same. It comes packed in bags that

weigh from 25 to 35 pounds apiece. By

weight, about 82% to 85% of the material is cellulose

fiber — most of which is reprocessed from old newspaper

— with the remainder consisting of chemical fire retardant.
