The benefits of choosing a natural insulator
There are several advantages to choosing insulation made from a natural material. One is that, when installed properly, these products can perform just as well at keeping out heat as commercially manufactured products. In some cases, they may even work better (which could make all the difference when it comes to fighting Atlanta’s heat and humidity).
When you choose natural insulation, you can be proud that you’ve made an eco-friendly decision. These products need less energy to produce, and when it’s time to get rid of them, they break down quickly without harming the environment.
Additionally, using natural materials is not only better for the environment – you’re also protecting your own health! Natural insulation contains very few chemicals, which is better for your body in the long run.

What natural products are available in the Atlanta area?
Not all insulation is created the same, and an important factor to consider when choosing your insulation is how to minimize the environmental impact of your decision. There are various natural substitutes for conventional, industrially produced insulation, most of which are commercially available here in Metro Atlanta. Among the natural insulation products you can find here, they will generally be classified into one of three categories:
There are many great alternatives to standard foam-board insulation, like wood or plant-based insulation. These materials are either naturally solid or have been pressed into boards or panels. There are no chemicals, or a very low percent of chemicals added to these products, plus, when disposal is necessary, they break down easily and return to the soil.
Fiberglass insulation may be made from recycled materials, but it uses a lot of energy to produce. There are some creative alternatives to fiberglass, though, like cotton, flax, and even sheep’s wool. Rolls of this natural product are commercially available and superior to standard insulators as they perform well even after absorbing a high percentage of moisture.
On the market for a commercial product that is also eco-friendly? Look no further than cellulose insulation made from recycled newspapers. This product is treated with a fire retardant, making it a safe choice for your home insulation needs.
Loose-fill insulation has the added benefit of being able to be installed in those difficult-to-reach places, ensuring your home is well sealed and insulated from the heat.
