If that fluffy insulation in your attic is old and worn down, it might be time to replace it with some new blown-in insulation. Over time, insulation can become filled with dust, pollen and all different kinds of allergens and pollutants, compromising its insulating abilities and if you have respiratory issues, all kinds of problems. It can also just lose its loft as it gets old.
Blown-in insulation is usually made of small chunks of fiberglass or cellulose, that is blown into the attic or between walls with an electric blower and hose. This gives it good insulating properties while making it easy to install, as it will fill cracks, crevices and behind walls relatively easily, giving you complete coverage over whatever surface you need. Blown-in insulation is a good choice for homes with uneven joist spacing, lots of irregular shapes and structures where batt rolls might not fit well, and where the attic floor could use more coverage. |

Why Choose Blown-In Insulation?
Blown-in insulation is very easy to install, and is excellent for filling spaces and cracks evenly, and providing full coverage over an area that may not be easily accessible otherwise. It can be blown behind walls and into crawlspaces without having to remove them and is easy way to get an even layer of insulation on your attic floor. Properly installed blown-in insulation will let virtually no air through, making it a very efficient method of insulating your attic. It will also give an excellent seal against moisture, preventing mold and mildew from growing in the attic or between walls.
Fiberglass insulation is one of the most common types of insulation you can get for your home, and also one of the least expensive. It is not affect moisture, is naturally fire-retardant, and can often be used in conjunction with cellulose for extra fire protection. It’s also very good at soundproofing and keeping your home quiet.
Cellulose insulation is made of natural materials (in most cases, recycled papers) and can even be considered renewable. This makes it the safest form of home insulation, and it also the most efficient, trapping in even more heat than fiberglass. It also keeps the heat out and the cold air in during the summer, keeping your energy bills low. And unlike fiberglass, it also doesn’t itch like crazy!
Unlike fiberglass insulation, however, cellulose is not naturally fire-retardant, and must either be treated or combined with a fireproof material, such as fiberglass. It can also be damaged and start to degrade when exposed to excessive moisture for long periods of time.
