Design & Specification Notes
Blown or batt cellulose from recycled paper; high recycled content and good thermal performance.
Typical Uses
- •Thermal envelope
- •Roof/wall cavities
- •Airtightness layers
Key Performance
Good thermal resistance with reduced heat loss.
Specification Actions
- •Provide evidence of recycled paper content and declare fire retardant treatment (type and toxicity).
- •Verify high recycled paper content (verify)
- •Confirm installation density meets thermal targets
Indicative Health & Indoor Air
- •fire-retardants
Recycled paper with low emissions. Fire retardants (typically borate) are low-toxicity. Good for indoor air quality.
