CELLULOSE INSULATION
Cellulose insulation offers eco-friendly performance with excellent air sealing properties. Pro Specialty Services installs cellulose insulation that reduces energy costs while using recycled materials.
Expert Cellulose Insulation Services in Lake County
Cellulose insulation is made from recycled newspaper treated with fire retardants—making it one of the most environmentally-friendly insulation options available. But its benefits go beyond sustainability: cellulose's dense-pack properties provide better air sealing than loose-fill fiberglass.
At Pro Specialty Services, we install cellulose insulation for homeowners who want effective insulation with reduced environmental impact. The material's density helps fill gaps completely while its fire-retardant treatment meets all safety requirements.
Cellulose works excellently in Florida attics and can also be dense-packed into wall cavities for whole-home efficiency improvements. Its slightly higher cost compared to fiberglass is often offset by better air sealing performance.

Why Choose Cellulose Insulation
Air sealing performance is cellulose's key advantage. The dense, small fibers pack tightly together, reducing air infiltration better than loose-fill fiberglass. For leaky attics, this air sealing adds significant value beyond pure R-value.
Environmental responsibility appeals to eco-conscious homeowners. Cellulose is 80-85% recycled content—mostly post-consumer newspaper. It requires less energy to manufacture than fiberglass and diverts waste from landfills.
Sound dampening is a bonus benefit. Cellulose's density makes it effective at reducing sound transmission. If noise reduction is a secondary goal, cellulose delivers more than other blown-in options.
Cellulose Insulation Applications
We install cellulose in multiple applications:
Attic Floor Blown-In
Standard loose-fill application over attic floor. Fast and effective.
Wall Cavity Dense-Pack
Specialized application to insulate existing wall cavities from exterior.
Cathedral Ceiling Dense-Pack
Fills sloped ceiling cavities for rooms with vaulted ceilings.
Attic Supplementation
Adding over existing insulation to increase total R-value.

Common Questions
Cellulose is treated with borate compounds that make it fire-resistant and pest-resistant. It meets all fire safety codes. The treatment also prevents mold growth and deters insects.
Initial settling of 10-20% is normal. We account for this by installing extra depth. Quality cellulose products settle predictably and maintain effective R-value long-term.
Each has advantages. Cellulose offers better air sealing and recycled content. Fiberglass doesn't absorb water if exposed to leaks. For most Florida attics, either performs well.
Cellulose can absorb moisture, which is a disadvantage if roof leaks occur. We assess roof condition before insulating and recommend repairs if needed. Proper attic ventilation helps prevent condensation.
We install proper barriers around recessed lights and other heat sources. IC-rated fixtures can be safely surrounded; non-IC fixtures need clearance. We assess and handle appropriately.
Cellulose typically costs 10-20% more than fiberglass blown-in. The better air sealing often provides additional energy savings that offset the price difference.
