“Cellulose” comes from the French word “cellule.” This material is one of the first discovered for insulation and can contain cartons, corn cobs, cotton, hemp, paper, sawdust, and/or straw. These items are then treated with 20% non-toxic borate compounds to help improve resistance to fire, heat, insects, mildew, and mold.
This type of insulation is non-hazardous, leading to approval from most accrediting agencies and a reputation as an eco-friendly material. New Orleans Cellulose insulation is also one of the more affordable options on the market.
Cellulose fiber insulation boasts an R-value of 3.5 per inch, meaning that it serves as a good blocker for air leakage. There are cellulose insulation pros and cons but we are sure the pros outweigh the cons.
Cellulose fits well in pipes and wirings to seal air pockets. It is also safer than fiberglass. You can save money and better protect your family or employees with this eco-friendly option.
Cellulose fiber insulation reduces the passage of sound through walls. It is denser than fiberglass, providing more noise dampening.
The compounds added to cellulose fibers prevent the growth of mold in your walls and help keep pests out of your insulation.
Cellulose is able to prevent excess moisture problems while retaining breathability.
Makes use of dry cellulose that is retrofitted in homes and offices by blowing the material through holes drilled in the tops of walls or through retainers and nettings clamped to these walls.
Packing cellulose as densely as possible minimizes air pockets. However, this process is difficult and should only be undertaken by experienced technicians.
For newly constructed walls, technicians can spray cellulose, water, and a retardant mixture. This helps prevent the growth of bacteria, fungi, and mold. Sometimes, a small amount of adhesive is added to the mix.
Star Spray Foams offers reliable cellulose insulation in New Orleans and we spray cellulose seals the wall cavities better for a more consistent air block; it also eliminates the settling issues of dry-loose fill. The cellulose insulation must sit for at least a day before it works at full efficiency.

Totally impressed with the way the job was handled by Brad and his team. I have since told several of my friends of the great work.
Brad, just got the bill, and it is $436 less and January was the coldest month. You were right, sealing the attic was so smart. Thanks
I can not believe the difference the insulation on the floor has made. I would not believe it if I was not feeling it. The house is no longer cold and my feet are warm.
Brad, I am so comfortable now, that I can’t wait to see the reduction in my energy bill. The house is finally warm! Thank you
