Why choose HomeZone for your attic insulation?
If you're as serious as HomeZone is about your families safety, saving money heating and cooling your home,
about recycling and responsible use of resources, and about saving energy for our country the only insulation to
seriously consider for your attic is cellulose.
Scientists, Engineers and Contractors have realized for many years that the most commonly-used building
insulation materials are really not the best insulators. Now this "conventional wisdom" of energy conservation has
been confirmed and quantified through scholarly research.

Cellulose vs. Fiberglass
The following is a summary of an extensive Natural Resources Defense Council (NRDC) report. The NRDC is a
non-profit environmental membership organization with over 300,000 members and contributors nationwide.
The NRDC has concluded the following:
• Cellulose insulation manufactured from recycled paper is the least polluting and most energy efficient insulation.
• Cellulose has the highest post-consumer recycled content. The fiberglass industry averages 35% recycled glass,
while the cellulose industry averages a minimum of 75% recycled content.
• It takes more than 10 times as much energy to produce fiberglass insulation as cellulose insulation.
• Due to air circulation and natural convection, the R-value of blown-in fiberglass insulation decreases by as much
as 50% as the temperature drops from 45 degrees F to 18 degrees F.
• Cellulose has better resistance to air flow and prevents the upward movement of air caused by temperature
differences (the R-value of cellulose actually improves during cold weather).
• Substantial and well-documented public health threats are associated with fiberglass.
• No adverse health effects from cellulose insulation have been identified.
Cellulose is non-toxic. Biologically, cellulose is innocuous.
