Why Select Blown-In Insulation?
Blown-in, or loose fill, insulation is the perfect solution for an attic insulation upgrade and non-conforming spaces, as it can fill large areas and small gaps quickly.
Blown-in insulation materials offer a flexible and comprehensive cover arrangement for different spaces. Unlike batt insulation, which comes in pre-cut sheets, blown-in insulation is installed by blowing free fill cover materials into the specified space. This strategy is especially successful for attic insulation, because it can fill huge ranges, little holes, and hard-to-reach corners that other insulation strategies might miss.
One of the biggest advantages of installing blown-in insulation is its energy efficiency and its resistance to heat flow. The higher the R-value, the superior the blown-in insulation performance.
The Benefits of Fiberglass Attic Insulation
Blown-in insulation comes in several forms, with the most common being fiberglass.
- Blown-In Fiberglass Insulation: This type of attic insulation is made from recycled glass and is resistant to fire, rot, and mildew. Because fiberglass blown-in insulation has such fine fibers, it can be used to fill even the smallest gaps, providing comprehensive coverage that ensures maximum energy efficiency.

The insulation materials we use for your blown-in insulation solution is made from reused glass and is formaldehyde-free, guaranteeing a healthier indoor environment for you and your family.

The Importance of Proper Blown Insulation Proper insulation, as well as air sealing, wall insulation, and blow in insulation, is critical to maintaining your home's energy efficiency and comfort. Without adequate insulation materials, your home could be losing a significant amount of warm air during the winter and cool air during the summer.
By choosing blown-in insulation for your attic insulation and other spaces, you can significantly improve your home's energy efficiency. Blown-in insulation fills gaps and wall cavities, insulating attics to create a seamless wall of thermal protection and layering, reducing heat transfer and minimizing air leaks. This not only makes your living space less comfortable but also drives up your energy bills as your heating and cooling systems work overtime to compensate for the lost energy.
How Attic Insulation Reduces Energy Costs
Your attic plays a crucial role in your home's overall energy efficiency. Without proper attic insulation, your home is likely to experience significant heat loss during the winter and heat gain during the summer, leading to higher energy bills and a less comfortable living environment.
Blown-in attic insulation is a cost-effective way to address these issues. By filling the gaps and spaces in your attic with high-quality insulation materials, you can create a barrier that prevents heat transfer and air leakage. This barrier helps maintain a consistent indoor temperature, reducing the need for your heating and cooling systems to work overtime.
In addition to lowering your heating and cooling costs, blown-in insulation can also extend the lifespan of your HVAC system. When your heating and cooling systems don't have to work as hard to maintain a comfortable temperature, they experience less wear and tear, leading to fewer repairs and a longer life.
Blown-in attic insulation can also increase your home's value. Home buyers are often interested in energy-efficient homes, and installing blown-in installation is a strong selling point.
