Insulating an attic is one of the cornerstones of weatherization. On a six degree day in Fargo, ND, Doug Bakke and crew will show us what to look for when prepping and sealing an attic and then blowing in cellulose to reach an R50 target.

This is the Warnings given to Cellulose installers : Cellulose insulation is manufactured from shredded waste paper to manufacture loft insulation, installers are advised to completely protect themselves from coming into any kind of skin contact with the product or dust - to wear safety glasses with side shields, face mask or respirator, gloves, long tight sleeves, long pants and a hat kept in place with a hair net. Cellulose insulation is synthesized chiefly from recycled newspapers. The additional components it may include are binders, skin irritants, fire retardants, ammonium sulfate, sulfuric acid, borax, boric acid, and other chemicals. Cellulose insulation presents serious health hazards if inhaled, k/as dust asthma etc, and finally, it may also carry potential cancer causing agents or carcinogens associated with the original waste paper source and printers inks. Eventually the product does settle 40% under its own weight so extra material allowances for this must be made.

if you want 16 inches shouldn't you blow a extra 2-3 inches for the settling factor? Because we all know as insulators the Cell Settles big time lol

he wants 16" unsettled to start so it will settle to roughly 14" which would then be r-49

+Larry Maloney In almost 50 years I've never known a client to enquire about Cellulose Insulation, so would it be okay with you if I ask anyone who does want it to get in touch with you. You deserve each other. Take the order with my compliments. Let this schmuck have the benefit of you're wisdom. If only I could arrange this free order for you for Xmas Eve, wouldn't that be wonderful. I can imagine you saying "Look Ma, that Correspondence Course I took paid off".Just think If you book 12 Cellulose Chop Suey Paper jobs next year wouldn't that be something to be proud about. Do this for just 3 years and you'll be able to buy you're very first trailer-trash trailer, and stop paying rent. I wish you a successful and happy New Year for 2016, but will stick to our laying fibreglass insulation, fibreglass insulation, fibreglass Insulation, See, you have just reminded me that I'm crazy about the stuff.
