Note on cellulose.Cellulose is plant(wood)fibre and although treated wit fire and moisture retardants etc it will smolder and absorb any heavy condensation or water leakage.When using it,it become high priority that the interior is tightly vapor gaurded and outside moisture proof and yet well enough ventilated to allow any condensate to escape.Also unless contained loose fill cellulose will settle over time leaving gaps at walltops and reducing attic R value depending how "properly" it was installed.Cellulose is very good insulation for the price and simple to install in existing and new structures,but fibreglass rolls and batts,even blown,will usually surpass cellulose in R-factor,longevity and long term dependability for the extra cost.....Just some thoughts.
