Waterloo Homeowners Are Re-Evaluating Insulation in 2025
In 2025, more homeowners in Waterloo are choosing cellulose insulation as part of their home improvement plans. With rising energy costs and a growing focus on sustainable living, this type of insulation offers both performance and eco-conscious benefits.
Reitzel Insulation helps Waterloo residents improve indoor comfort and reduce energy loss using advanced cellulose applications. Whether for attics, walls, or floors, cellulose is gaining traction for its thermal performance and environmental profile.
What Is Cellulose Insulation?
Cellulose insulation is made primarily from recycled paper products treated with non-toxic fire retardants. It’s applied using a blown-in method that fills gaps and hard-to-reach spaces in attics or walls.
Unlike fibreglass batts, cellulose forms a dense, consistent layer that reduces air leaks and helps maintain indoor temperatures. It’s a preferred option for retrofits and upgrades in older Waterloo homes.
Key Advantages of Cellulose in 2025
Waterloo homeowners are choosing cellulose insulation for several reasons:
- High R-value performanceper inch for strong thermal resistance
- Soundproofing benefitsthat reduce noise between rooms or floors
- Sustainable material content—up to 85% recycled fibre
- Effective air sealingaround pipes, wiring, and framing irregularities
These features combine to improve year-round comfort while lowering heating and cooling bills.
Why It’s Ideal for Waterloo Homes
Waterloo’s mix of older housing stock and four-season climate makes insulation especially important. Cellulose is well suited to attics, where blown-in application fills cavities more completely than batt insulation.
It’s also helpful in sidewalls during renovations or additions, especially when targeting areas with known drafts or inconsistent indoor temperatures.
Energy Efficiency and Cost Savings
With heating bills rising in Ontario, many homeowners are prioritizing insulation upgrades. Cellulose insulation helps retain indoor heat during cold winters and reduces cooling needs during humid summers.
While upfront installation costs are similar to other materials, cellulose often delivers faster returns through monthly energy savings.
