Cellulose Insulation
Cellulose Insulation
Blown-In Comfort for Walls and Attics.
Cellulose insulation is a cost-effective way to improve comfort, reduce drafts, and upgrade under-insulated areas of your home. Made primarily from recycled fibre, it is commonly blown into attics, finished wall cavities, floor cavities, and other spaces where traditional batt insulation may not fit as cleanly.
For Winnipeg homes, cellulose offers a strong balance of performance, value, and environmental benefit. Its dense loose-fill structure helps reduce air movement through small gaps and irregular spaces, making it especially useful in older homes with uneven framing, wiring, plumbing, or previous renovations.
Our team will assess your home’s insulation levels, ventilation, and access points before recommending the right approach. Above All will help you understand when blown-in cellulose makes sense, when air sealing or ventilation upgrades should be included, and when another insulation solution may be a better fit.
Why Choose Cellulose Insulation?
Keeps R-Value in Deep Cold
Cellulose insulation is valued for maintaining strong insulating performance in very cold temperatures, helping your home hold heat more consistently through Winnipeg’s long winter season.
Ideal for Older-Home Retrofits
Many older Winnipeg homes have wall cavities, attic spaces, and framing conditions that do not work neatly with standard insulation products. Blown-in cellulose can often be added with less invasive work, making it a strong retrofit option.
Fills Gaps & Irregular Cavities
Because cellulose is blown into place, it can settle around wiring, plumbing, framing, and other obstacles more easily than rigid or batt-style materials. This helps improve coverage in hard-to-insulate spaces.
Minimal-Disruption Installation
For many attic projects, cellulose can be installed with limited disruption to your living space. Above All plans access carefully, uses proper equipment, and works to keep the process tidy and efficient.
Made from Recycled Fibre
Cellulose is made primarily from recycled paper fibre, making it an eco-conscious insulation option for homeowners who want better comfort and energy performance.

Cellulose Insulation FAQ
What is cellulose insulation made from?
Cellulose insulation is made mainly from recycled paper fibre that is treated for fire resistance and long-term durability.
Is cellulose insulation good for Winnipeg winters?
Yes. Cellulose is a strong option for cold climates because it helps limit heat loss and supports more consistent indoor comfort through long winter conditions.
Can cellulose insulation be added to older homes?
Yes. Cellulose is often well suited to older homes because it can be blown into existing spaces where standard insulation may be difficult to install.
Can cellulose be installed without removing drywall?
In some cases, yes. If the wall cavities are suitable, cellulose can be installed through small access holes from the interior or exterior with minimal repair work required.
How long does cellulose insulation installation take?
Many attic top-ups can be completed in a day, depending on the size of the home, access, existing insulation, and any prep work needed.
Will cellulose insulation help with ice dams?
It can help. Better attic insulation reduces heat loss into the attic, which can limit uneven snowmelt on the roof. For best results, insulation should be paired with proper air sealing and ventilation.
Does Above All offer a warranty on cellulose insulation?
Yes. Above All provides a 5-year workmanship warranty on insulation installations.

Roofing & Insulation
“I could not have been more pleased with my experience dealing with Above All. They did everything they said they would and more. If I had tried to hire two separate contractors for the roofing and the insulation work it would have been a disaster due to unforeseen complications. They took it all in stride and went beyond what we had contracted them to do but the bill was exactly as quoted. Very Impressed.”
