BJ Insulating uses North Star Fibre Cellulose Insulation for attic insulation. These fibres created from  safe, recycled materials are impregnated with a fire retardant chemical in addition to being rodent resistant with unmatched insulating capability.

Benefits of North Star Fibre’s Cellulose Insulation

North Star Fibre produces a cellulose-fibre, thermal building insulation made from 100% recycled papers with chemical fire retardant (Boric Acid) added.

Some of the benefits of cellulose insulation are:

• Proven in numerous industry sponsored, as well as government and third party sponsored tests, to be at least 40% more effective as both a thermal insulator and a sound barrier than other insulating materials. In fact, at temperatures below freezing, the thermal effectiveness of other materials falls precipitously, while cellulose maintains its effectiveness.
• Safe and easy to handle as it is non-toxic and non-corrosive.
• Has the natural ability to absorb and release moisture vapor depending on relative humidity.
• The fire retardants in North Star Fibre’s Cellulose Insulation allows the product to pass strict testing (CAN/ULC-S703-01) in open-flammability, open-flammability permanency, surface burning characteristics, smolder resistance and fungi resistance.
• Cellulose is less expensive to install than other insulating materials.
• Today, one of the most effective ways to save energy when buying new homes or upgrading existing homes is through energy efficient North Star Fibre Cellulose Insulation. Cellulose provides significant, on-going savings versus other insulating materials on the cost of home energy.
• Cellulose insulation is environmentally friendly as well, because it is made up almost entirely of recycled materials.
• Our cellulose insulation is rodent resistant
