FAQs

  • What types of homes or areas are suitable for cellulose insulation?

    Cellulose insulation is a versatile material that's suitable for various types of homes and areas within those homes. Its flexibility during installation makes it a fitting choice for both older homes and newly constructed ones. Additionally, it's adept at insulating unique architectural designs, filling in tight corners and unusually shaped areas with ease.


    More specifically, cellulose insulation is highly recommended for attics, as its high R-value and excellent air-sealing abilities create a substantial barrier to heat flow. It's also ideal for sealing walls, ensuring fewer air pockets and better energy efficiency. 


    Serving Erie and surrounding areas in Pennsylvania, Bauer Specialty is dedicated to providing top-quality home improvement services tailored to your specific needs.

  • Is cellulose insulation safe?

    Yes, cellulose insulation is safe for use in homes. It is primarily composed of recycled paper fibers which are treated with borate compounds to make it fire resistant. These compounds are safe and are commonly used in various household products. In case of a fire, the borate compounds help to slow spread, creating a safer environment.


    At Bauer Specialty, we take adequate safety measures during installation, like creating barriers around flammable components such as chimneys and flue pipes to prevent any potential fire threats. Our crews are trained to vent exhaust ducts from areas like bathrooms and kitchens to the outside, reducing buildup of moist air that could lead to mold or mildew. We always ensure regulation compliance while prioritizing safety throughout the process.

  • Why should I choose cellulose insulation over other types of insulation?

    Choosing cellulose insulation comes with several advantages. First, it's renowned for its high thermal performance, with an R-value that matches or exceeds other types of insulation like fiberglass or rock wool. This means cellulose insulation effectively resists heat flow, resulting in a more energy-efficient home that saves you money in reduced heating and cooling costs. 


    Plus, cellulose is an eco-friendly insulation option, composed mostly of post-consumer waste paper like newspapers which have been recycled. This reduces landfill waste and supports a more sustainable home-owning experience, aligning with environmentally conscious values. 


    Additionally, cellulose insulation fits snugly around items such as wiring and pipes within walls, creating fewer air pockets that can reduce overall insulation efficiency. Hence, choosing cellulose insulation provides solid thermal performance while promoting environmental sustainability.
