What is Blow-in Insulation?
Blow-in insulation, also known as loose-fill insulation, is a highly effective method for insulating attics, walls, and other hard-to-reach areas. This type of insulation involves blowing small particles of material, such as cellulose or fiberglass, into spaces using specialized equipment. It forms a thick layer of insulation that provides excellent thermal protection and helps improve energy efficiency.
Types of Blow-in Insulation
Fiberglass Insulation
Blown-in fiberglass insulation consists of small glass fibers blown into wall cavities or attic spaces. It’s highly resistant to moisture, making it ideal for humid environments where mold and moisture buildup are concerns. Fiberglass insulation is lightweight and provides excellent thermal protection with a high R-value, meaning it offers strong resistance to heat flow.
Pros:
Moisture-resistant, high R-value, non-flammable.
Cons:
Less effective at blocking airflow than cellulose, and requires protective equipment during installation due to the small glass particles.
Types of Blow-in Insulation
Cellulose Insulation
Cellulose insulation is made from recycled paper products, primarily newsprint, treated with fire retardants to make it safe for use in homes. It is dense, helping to block airflow and providing excellent coverage in tight spaces like attics and wall cavities. Cellulose is also environmentally friendly and biodegradable, making it an excellent choice for homeowners seeking a green insulation option. Its soundproofing qualities make it ideal for reducing noise transmission in the home.
Pros:
Environmentally friendly, good soundproofing, fills small spaces well.
Cons:
Can absorb moisture if not installed correctly, leading to potential mold issues.
