What Is Cellulose Insulation?
Cellulose insulation is sprayed or blown into walls and conforms to your home, surrounding your family with a seamless insulation system. This insulation is commonly used in the residential and commercial construction industry.
It can be installed in many areas of homes and buildings. Made of up to 80% recycled material, loose-fill cellulose is one of the most environmentally friendly types of insulation available.
Cellulose loose-fill or blown-in insulation is beneficial for Ohio homes because it can help:
Maximize the energy efficiency of homes and buildings and reduce energy costs
Make homes and buildings more comfortable all year
Improve the performance of air conditioners and furnaces
Reduce noises from outside and inside, between different rooms and levels
Contribute to a healthier environment

Both loose-fill fiberglass and blown-in cellulose insulation have a lifespan that exceeds 100 years. However, it’s important to understand that the “expected” lifespan is always based on perfect maintenance and conditions.
Rather than working around the age of the material, it’s best to know what factors impact the lifespan of your home or commercial insulation.
Your loose-fill insulation’s lifespan may decrease because of:
Settling and compaction over the years
Any presence of moisture, mold and pests
The amount of ventilation present near the insulation
How well the insulation and surrounding areas are maintained
The real answer is that you can likely expect your insulation to last the life of the building, but keeping up with its condition is very important. Regular inspections can dramatically improve its lifespan!
Can You Install Blown-In Cellulose Insulation Over Fiberglass?
Absolutely! The only stipulation with installing insulation over existing material, regardless of type, is that the current insulation needs to be unfaced. You don’t want to install new material over faced insulation, as this can trap moisture between the insulation, contributing to rot, material degradation, and mold growth.
Where Should Loose-Fill Cellulose Insulation Be Installed?
Fiberglass is a highly effective and versatile insulation material available in batts or loose-fill material blown into crevices and spaces. Because fiberglass is made of glass fibers, it’s highly resistant to heat and thermal transfer.
It’s also easy to produce, making it exceptionally cost-efficient compared to its R-value. This makes it one of the most valued choices for residential insulation in attics, crawl spaces and interior walls.

Gutters protect homes and buildings by directing rainwater away from the foundation, preventing erosion, leaks, and water damage with durable seamless systems, gutter guards, and custom installations.
Air sealing prevents drafts, moisture buildup, and energy loss by sealing gaps and leaks in a home or building’s structure, improving comfort and efficiency while reducing heating and cooling costs.
