Blown in Insulation

Blown-in insulation and attic insulation are methods used to improve building energy efficiency by reducing heat transfer and maintaining comfortable indoor temperatures. They are commonly used to keep homes cooler in summer and warmer in winter, as well as lower energy bills.

Blown-in insulation, also known as loose-fill insulation, is a type of insulation material installed by blowing or spraying it into the desired space. It is typically made from fiberglass, cellulose, or mineral wool, coming in small particles or fibers.

The installation process involves using a special machine to blow the insulation material into walls, attics, or other hard-to-reach spaces. The insulation fills gaps and voids, providing an effective barrier against heat transfer through conduction and convection. It is an excellent option for existing homes needing insulation upgrades or insulating irregularly shaped areas.

Blown-in insulation is preferred for attic spaces because it can be easily applied over existing insulation or in hard-to-reach areas where traditional batting insulation might be difficult to install properly.

Attic insulation is a specific type of insulation installed in the attic, the space below the roof of a building. Since heat rises, the attic is one of the primary areas where heat gain and loss occur in a home. Properly insulating the attic can significantly improve energy efficiency and reduce the strain on heating and cooling systems.

Various types of attic insulation include fiberglass batts or rolls, blown-in insulation, spray foam insulation, and radiant barrier insulation. The appropriate type and amount of attic insulation depend on factors such as climate, heating and cooling systems used, and building construction.

Both, blown-in insulation and attic insulation are effective methods to improve energy efficiency and maintain a comfortable indoor environment. They help reduce heat transfer, lower energy costs, and make homes more eco-friendly. Properly insulating your attic can be a cost-effective way to enhance overall energy efficiency.
