  • Your HVAC systems
  • The size of your home
  • Where you need to insulate

What’s the Difference Between Cellulose and Fiberglass Insulation?

We’re often asked the difference between fiberglass and cellulose insulation. Fiberglass and cellulose have some similarities. Both have good soundproofing qualities and can be blown into walls, attics, basements and crawl spaces. But there are several differences:

  • Cellulose consists of organic material, mainly newspaper, while fiberglass is made of mostly synthetic material.
  • The pink insulation you have probably seen in your home or someone else’s is generally fiberglass; cellulose tends to be darker in color.
  • Cellulose is considered one of the most environmentally friendly insulation materials available; the recycled content of fiberglass is lower.
  • The R-values for cellulose and fiberglass are different.

What’s the Difference Between Cellulose and Spray Foam Insulation?

Wondering if you should install cellulose or spray foam insulation? Here’s some information on both types:

  • Spray foam insulation: This is a spray-applied cellular polyurethane foam that’s pumped into your walls and comes in two varieties: closed-cell and open-cell. Spray foam is typically more expensive than other types of insulation.
  • Cellulose insulation: Cellulose is loose-fill insulation made from chopped-up, discarded newsprint. Like spray foam, it can work its way into hard-to-reach areas. Cellulose is also the most environmentally friendly type of insulation.

How long does cellulose insulation last?

Cellulose insulation lasts around 20 to 30 years under ideal conditions.

What are the disadvantages of using cellulose for insulation?

Cellulose has to be kept dry. This type of insulation can absorb up to 130% of its weight in water. It also dries very slowly after absorbing water and deteriorates and settles after wetting.
