Blown-in Insulation
Is this the best solution for you?
Blown-in insulation is a type of insulation that is literally “blown” into place using special equipment. It consists of loose, lightweight materials that fill incavities and spaces, providing thermal and sound insulation. It’s commonly used in attics, walls, and other hard-to-reach areas.
- Good Coverage: Fills in gaps and small crevices better than batt insulation.
- Energy Efficiency: Helps reduce heating and cooling costs.
- Quick Installation: Especially in large or irregular areas.
Types of Blown-in Insulation
Cellulose:
- Made from recycled paper (usually newspaper).
- Treated with fire retardants.
- Eco-friendly and cost-effective.
- Good for attic and wall cavities.
Fiberglass:
- Made from spun glass fibers.
- Lightweight and mold-resistant.
- Less dusty than cellulose.
- Common in attics.
- Provides healthy air quality.
- Longer lasting than cellulose.
