How Blown-In Insulation Works
Blown-in insulation is applied using specialized equipment that pneumatically distributes loose fibers or particles. The material fills the cavity, conforming to irregular shapes and filling gaps. Coverage is more consistent than batts, which can leave gaps at edges and around obstructions.
Installation is typically fast. Crews work from the attic entrance or use exterior application in some cases. Depth is measured to achieve the target R-value. The result is a continuous thermal barrier.
Fiberglass vs. Cellulose
Fiberglass blown-in is made from recycled glass. It's non-combustible, doesn't absorb moisture readily, and has a long track record. It typically has a slight pink or white appearance.
Cellulose is made from recycled paper treated with fire retardants. It has slightly better R-value per inch in some applications and can fill small gaps effectively. Both are effective; we help you choose based on your attic, budget, and preferences.
Installation Process
We prepare the attic by ensuring proper ventilation and addressing any moisture or pest issues. We protect access areas and work efficiently. Insulation is blown to the specified depth, with careful attention to coverage over exterior walls and around penetrations.
We avoid covering vents, recessed lights, or other areas that need clearance. We provide documentation of R-value achieved and any recommendations for follow-up.
