Builder has given us choice of either fiberglass or cellulose insulation for
walls in new house construction. Which is better? He told us the cellulose
has a slightly higher R factor and makes the walls air tight. Does the
cellulose settle more than the fiberglass? Is cellulose more prone to having
mold or insect problems?

any help would be appreciated

thanks

This is Turtle.

I would never put Cellulose in my house again. Before i put it on top of the
fiber glass this cellulose stuff my house was very dust free and had to dust
very little. I install it and everything in the house get's dusty every 3 to 4
days and my 90% media filter plugs up every week with the gray fiber dust which
looks just like the cellulose stuff. And yes i have made the attic area air
tight to the living area but very little help. It has been a nitemare but now
it has been about 6 or 7 years and it's slow down a good bit now. If given a
choice of Cellulose or nothing. I would take nothing. Hindsight is always better
than forsight.
