We have been asked why Arctic Express Insulation prefers Fiberglass over Cellulose. Well there are a few reasons:

1st Fiberglass is non combustible. There isn't anything in the product to burn it's origins are from sand and recycled glass products. Fiberglass has Never failed the industries combustion test at 1200 degrees. Cellulose can not make that claim. Cellulose is ground up newspaper treated with a chemical BORIC ACID better known as Roach Kill that has Fire Retardant properties.

2nd is that Cellulose in the attic can be blown to give the insulation contractor an advantage by adding air to the install and thus you get allot of fluff. And the contractor saves or makes money by not installing the proper amount of cellulose in the attic. And in several years will settle substantially, up to 20%. With Fiberglass Blow in there is minimal fluff factor and the settling is minimal around 2% and will maintain the thickness for R (Resistance) Values for years to come.

3rdThe same is true with Blown In Wall applications. Cellulose has a tendency to sag in the wall a shrinking effect. Fiberglass doesn't do that. The higher the R Factor the more Resistance barrier you have for transfer of hot and cold.

NAIMA's Fire Resistance Testing of Cellulose Insulation Note that according to the North American Insulation Manufacturers' Association, the chemical treatment of cellulose insulation does not make cellulose insulation "non-combustible" nor does it prevent smoldering type ignition of the material. Cellulose insulation is tested for fire resistance using ASTM C-739. It has also long been our opinion that the chemical retardant treatment, however effective it may be, may deteriorate over time or especially if the insulation is exposed to water - say from a roof or wall leak. NAIMA has a similar view.
