Here’s Why You Should Consider Using Blown-In Insulation
Blown-in insulation, also known as loose-fill insulation, is a type of insulation material that is installed by blowing or spraying it into place. It consists of small particles or fibers of insulating material, such as cellulose, fiberglass, or mineral wool. Here are some reasons why blown-in insulation is commonly used:
Excellent coverage
Blown-in insulation offers excellent coverage and can be installed in areas that are difficult to reach with traditional insulation methods. It can be blown into tight spaces, corners, and irregularly shaped areas, ensuring complete coverage and reducing air leakage.
Thermal performance
Blown-in insulation provides effective thermal insulation by reducing heat transfer through walls, attics, and other areas. The insulation material forms a layer that helps to slow down the movement of heat, keeping your home warmer in winter and cooler in summer. It improves the overall energy efficiency of your home, reducing heating and cooling costs.
Air sealing
Blown-in insulation helps to seal gaps and cracks in the building envelope, reducing air leakage and drafts. The loose particles or fibers can fill in small openings, creating a more airtight barrier. This prevents the loss of conditioned air and the infiltration of outdoor air, making your home more comfortable and reducing energy waste.
Sound insulation
Blown-in insulation has sound-dampening properties, helping to reduce noise transmission between rooms and from outside sources. It can help create a quieter indoor environment by absorbing and muffling sound vibrations.
Environmentally friendly
Many blown-in insulation materials, such as cellulose, are made from recycled materials and are considered eco-friendly options. They help reduce waste and carbon footprint by utilizing recycled content. Additionally, blown-in insulation reduces energy consumption, leading to lower greenhouse gas emissions associated with heating and cooling.
It's important to note that the installation of blown-in insulation should be done by professionals who have experience and knowledge in proper techniques.
