Blown In Attic Insulation

Blown In Attic Insulation

Blowing in a blanket. Cellulose insulation is applied with a blowing machine attached to a long, flexible hose. Blowing the loose-fill insulation into a poorly insulated attic can cut heating and cooling expenses by as much as 40%.

Blown-in cellulose insulation is a super-green solution to energy problems

Cellulose insulation is a "green" product because it helps to save energy. But cellulose earns an extra measure of green value because it's made from recycled newspaper. Instead of going into a landfill, old newspaper can be put to work as a permanent, energy-saving improvement. That's a good idea!

Because there are approximately 60 manufacturers of cellulose insulation, it's a locally produced product for many consumers. After processing to transform old newspaper into a fluffy insulation that rates up to R-4 per in., the cellulose is treated with a natural boric acid solution to make it resistant to fire and unattractive to insects. All manufacturers of cellulose insulation must adhere to standards established by the Federal Consumer Product Safety Commission to ensure safety and quality.

With blown-in cellulose, you can expect affordable cost, good R-value and speedy installation

Although cellulose can be blown into stud bays and other building cavities, it's most often used in unfinished attics. Large bags or bales of cellulose are loaded into a blower unit located outside the house. In the hopper the material is shredded and then blown into a long, flexible hose that deposits the insulation in the attic. Blown-in cellulose can usually be installed directly over existing attic insulation, providing the original insulation is in good condition.

After the attic has been air-sealed to minimize air leaks, it usually takes a day or less to complete an attic insulation upgrade using blown-in cellulose. Although the installation process produces dust (workers wear standard dust masks), it's not hazardous.

Air-sealing the attic, combined with an attic insulation upgrade, can cut a home's heating and cooling costs by up to 40%. Once you complete this "once-and-done" improvement, you'll enjoy improved comfort and energy efficiency (along with lower utility bills) for as long as you own your house.
