St. Croix Energy Solutions offers attic insulation to make sure your Twin Cities-area home stays comfortable year-round. Not all insulation is created equal, and we insist on the best.

Cellulose is King

In the case of attic insulation, tried and true cellulose insulation is by far the superior choice. Cellulose offers a multitude of benefits for application in attics, including:

Density

Cellulose is denser than fiberglass or mineral wool, containing many more, much smaller fibers and smaller air spaces that better trap heat to keep it where it is. Fiberglass, on the other hand, begins to lose R-Value as cold attic air cycles down into its fewer, bigger air pockets.

Retrofitting in Hard-to-Reach Spots

Blown in cellulose is an excellent material for retrofitting in existing homes. It creates a monolithic layer across the attic, filling in the nooks and crannies left by existing insulation.  This type of cellulose can easily be blown into the tight spaces and far reaches of the attic.

Better with Time

Over the years, cellulose forms an almost paper mache-like crust on its surface, which bolsters its air barrier properties, allowing it to better keep heat and cool where it belongs.

Prevent Fires AND Bugs

Cellulose is famously pest- and fire-resistant thanks to Borate treatment, a mineral additive that never loses its effectiveness (and is safe enough to be one of the main ingredients in eye-drops!).

Environmentally-Friendly

Cellulose is made with over 80% post-consumer recycled content, making it one of the “greenest” insulation options available. It also has the lowest embodied energy (the total energy required to produce a material) and the smallest carbon footprint of any other insulation product.

After testing thousands of homes, our results back up what the national certifying laboratories claim: attics insulated with cellulose maintain high R-Values under all conditions, are better air sealed, and harbor fewer pests.

Testimonials

John Williams, Hudson, WI

They came out and used spray foam insulation along our entire rim joists. They also foamed the holes in the attic where air is escaping, covered recessed lights with boxes and then blew in additional cellulose insulation to reach a final value of R60.
They were very professional. They came in at the time they said they were coming. They went right to work. The work went smoothly and ended before their estimated ending time. They even came back out a couple of times to help touch up some areas and help with a particular problem area that air was leaking through. We finally stopped the draft and we are very satisfied with the work that was done. Our house feels much mo... (read more)
