  • Anyone encountered this kind of insulation in their loft before (the stuff under the fibreglass)? It’s kind of not quite a powder but made of old bits of newspaper and some other stuff. Hopefully not asbestos.

  • That looks like cellulose to me, one of the better options imo.
    I’m in Canada and the stuff around here was never associated with asbestos.

  • Thanks! Some googling suggests that’s what it is. Phew!

    Canada banned asbestos for domestic use long before we stopped exporting it.
    From the picture it is impossible to tell what that insulation is. Anyone working with it should at least wear proper personal protective equipment.
