More homeowners in Barrie are making the switch to eco-friendly attic insulation to lower energy bills and reduce environmental impact. If you’re planning an attic upgrade, choosing green insulation options is a smart move — both for your wallet and the planet.

🌱 Why Choose Eco-Friendly Insulation for Your Barrie Attic?
Green insulation materials are designed to be sustainable, safe, and non-toxic. Many are made from recycled or renewable resources, making them healthier for both your home and the environment. These materials still offer excellent thermal performance — often exceeding that of traditional fiberglass or foam.

🔍 Types of Eco-Friendly Insulation for Attics
1. Cellulose Insulation – A Blown-In, Recycled Option
Made from up to 85% recycled paper, cellulose is one of the most popular green insulation choices. Treated with non-toxic fire retardants, it’s ideal for blown-in attic applications and provides excellent air sealing.
Why we use it: At Ainger Insulation, we recommend cellulose as the most affordable and practical green solution for Barrie homes.

2. Cotton (Denim) Insulation
Crafted from recycled jeans and cotton fabric, this insulation is safe to touch, free from irritants, and offers great soundproofing. Though a bit pricier, it’s a great fit for deeply eco-conscious homeowners.
3. Sheep’s Wool Insulation
Renewable, biodegradable, and moisture-resistant, sheep’s wool helps regulate indoor humidity and even filters indoor air. While not widely used in Barrie due to cost, it’s a luxurious and sustainable option for green builders.
4. Eco-Friendly Spray Foam Alternatives
Some manufacturers now offer spray foam made from plant-based or water-blown ingredients, making them less harmful than traditional petroleum-based foams. These still require professional installation but have improved eco-credentials.
♻️ Why Blown-In Cellulose Is Ideal for Barrie Homes
For Barrie homeowners who want a balance of sustainability, performance, and affordability, blown-in cellulose is hard to beat. It fills gaps in your attic thoroughly, reduces air leakage, and boosts energy efficiency year-round.
It also works beautifully with our injection foam insulation for wall cavities — part of a full-home energy strategy. Explore injection foam insulation here.
