Blown cellulose insulation allergies

Cellulose is a carbohydrate, a fairly inert component of plants. Cellulose insulation, however, is far from inert. It is such a complex mixture of chemicals that it would be virtually impossible to determine an accurate listing of components. The primary ingredients are ground newspapers and boron compounds such as boric acid and borax. While newspapers consist mainly of cellulose that is derived from trees, they contain a wide variety of potentially toxic chemicals.

  2. I agree that there’s no problem blowing cellulose on top of fiberglas. I don’t agree that Lowe’s and Home Depot have crappy products. Go to the retailer and discuss what you’re trying to achieve. They can help you decide how deep you want the insulation. Their machines are just fine except they must be used close to the application point because they’re not as powerful as the truck mounted machines the pros use. That can be messy.
