Default Re: How Homes are Becoming Green

Marcel:

In 1983 when our company had blown insulation as one of our services, cellulose insulation was awarded Canada's first "Environmental Logo" from our Environment dept. At the time we also blew fiberglass for a few contractors who were stuck on it and wouldn't hear about "recycled newspapers" being blown into attics of their homes! We immediately stopped offering blown fiberglass and lost our biggest contractor customer.......for about 1.5 years.......until he called me one night at 10 PM asking me if I could come and start doing his attics again.........with cellulose!! As I was preparing to leave the area for here, he called me for information about using sprayed cellulose in walls.

Cellulose.......USE NOTHING BUT!!!!!
