Q: Is there a way to insulate my walls without replacing the drywall?

Cel-Pak Cellulose Insulation is a blown-in insulation product made from shredded, recycled paper, and requires only a small hole in your existing wall to apply. The material is literally blown into your empty wall space, using a hopper with a blower.

Cel-Pak not only delivers excellent thermal performance, depending on the thickness of the wall space, but is class-A fire rated, and borate-treated to resist mold and mildew. It contains no formaldehyde or any other toxic solvents that could potentially off-gas after application.

Cel-Pak will allow you a more comfortable indoor temperature during summer and winter, while lowering your energy costs for both air conditioning and heating throughout the year. Applied a professional contractor (Green Depot can provide a referral if necessary), most applications take one day to complete.
