Cellulose Insulation Alternative?

[Jim]

Cellulose (paper with toxic boric acid) is used in most MH attic insulation. It will turn to a toxic powder within 10 to 15 years, according to Univ of Calif studies. I'm not willing to put my family in a house with this type of insulation anywhere in the home. Is there a manufacturer who sells homes in Texas that uses fiberglass insulation in all parts of their homes, or have that as an option?
Thank you,
Jim

Do you have a source for this info? I can't see how it can turn into a powder.

Cellulose is paper treatec with chemicals. ALL paper will turn to dust over time. Ask a reputable home builder whey they don't use it and they will tell you why. And now companies are being started which vacuum the old cellulose powder out of attics. It is a thriving business in San Antonio Texas. And so far, I've not found one manufacturer who wil, at any cost, install fiberglass in the attic. That is an option they ought to offer. And notice, no one from the "expert" department here will comment. That, too, is a shame, because mobile homes are a great value in housing, and it's sad that manufacturers won't address this problem and get ahead of the curve, especially since the manufactured housing industry sales have plummeted in recent years.

Try Chariot Eagle, built in Phoenix, Az. They are standard with fiberglass insulation in the attic.
