Cellulose insulation is basically shredded paper with an added fire retardant that also acts as a rodent repellent. It also offers soundproofing benefits. A machine blows the material through a hose, which the installer uses to fill attic spaces and densely pack walls or cavities. This blocks heat from escaping through the frame of the building. Fiberglass is made up of layers of tiny glass fibers and comes in the form of batts or rolls. It is then cut to fit into place. Air gets trapped between the fibers, which slows heat movement.
