Can anyone help with the identification of this type of insulation? Home was built in '74 and is located in southeast. Thanks.

Mark,
Help us out here… did you touch it? What texture did it have? Can you describe what it felt like?

jpope · April 12, 2010, 11:23pm

Looks like blown cellulose to me. I hate inspecting an attic with that stuff. Kicks up a cloud and makes a big mess.

80% of the attics around hare have this or similar.

Hey I try to tip toe in the stuff but it’s impossible not to kick up a storm.
