Commercial Cellulose Insulation

High-Density Thermal and Acoustic Performance for Demanding Commercial Spaces

For commercial buildings that demand energy efficiency, sound control, and fire safety, applied cellulose insulation offers a proven, sustainable solution. At 62 Insulation, we use Nu-Wool® Commercial Cellulose — a high-performance, spray-applied system designed to meet the rigorous demands of modern building envelopes.

Whether you’re insulating offices, multi-family housing, retail spaces, or institutional buildings, commercial cellulose provides long-lasting results that contribute to energy savings, occupant comfort, and indoor air quality.

What Is Commercial Applied Cellulose?

Commercial

Commercial cellulose is a spray-applied, dense-pack insulation made primarily from recycled newspaper fibers treated with non-toxic fire retardants. Unlike fiberglass batts or rigid foam boards, cellulose is applied wet and allowed to dry in place, forming a seamless, dense thermal barrier within wall and ceiling cavities.

Key Benefits

High Thermal Performance

  • Provides an R-value of approximately R-3.8 per inch
  • Dense application helps eliminate voids and thermal bridging common in batt insulation
  • Reduces heating and cooling demands for long-term energy savings

Superior Sound Control

  • Excellent acoustic dampening, especially useful in shared walls, conference rooms, and multi-family buildings
  • Reduces airborne and structure-borne noise for quieter, more comfortable interiors

Fire Resistance

  • Treated with a natural, borate-based fire retardant
  • Meets or exceeds ASTM E84 Class I/Class A fire rating standards
  • Enhances building safety in high-occupancy structures

Eco-Friendly & Sustainable

  • Made with up to 86% recycled content
  • Low embodied energy and minimal off-gassing
  • Contributes toward LEED credits and green building certifications

Full Cavity Fill

  • Spray-applied directly into open framing cavities
  • Fills around plumbing, wiring, and other obstructions for complete coverage
  • Minimizes air leakage and supports overall airtightness goals

Durable and Stable

  • Will not settle over time when applied correctly
  • Maintains its R-value and soundproofing properties for the life of the building

Frequently Asked Questions

A good time to add insulation to your attic is when you're experiencing high energy bills, uneven indoor temperatures, or noticing drafts — especially during extreme seasons like summer and winter. It's also ideal to upgrade during home renovations, roof replacements, or if your current insulation is old, damaged, or settling below recommended levels.

We recommend that our customers expect an attic overhaul to happen between 1-3 days, depending on the size and shape of the attic.

Cellulose and spray foam insulation, especially when paired with proper air sealing, can significantly reduce air leakage — but they won’t make a home too tight if installed correctly. A well-insulated home still needs controlled ventilation, which can be easily managed with systems like bath fans or energy recovery ventilators (ERVs). In fact, sealing a home properly helps improve comfort, energy efficiency, and indoor air quality — as long as ventilation is part of the plan.
