THINGS TO KNOW ABOUT BLOWN-IN INSULATION

As you consider the investment of adding insulation to your home, it's often necessary to consider what blown-in insulation can offer. This type of insulation is sprayed into the various areas of the home or attic to create a blanket of protection. It does not come in pre-formed rolls but rather is sprayed (or blown) into place. This type of insulation is less likely to settle.

What You Should Know

One of the best things about blown-in insulation is that it can be very good at insulating areas reducing the amount of heated air or cooled air lost to holes or gaps. It can be very energy efficient as a result.

When placed well, this type of insulation can help to minimize fire risks in a home. It is fire resistant, which means that if an electrical wire starts smoking, the insulation will not carry that fire to other areas.

Key Features

Blown-in insulation is a good option for soundproofing as well. If you want to ensure there is ample sound reduction in and around your home, this may be a good option. Additionally, it is also less likely to encourage pests than other products.

Is It Right for You?

The return on investment from blown-in insulation is good for most people. When done properly, this process can be easy and quick to get into place. It may also provide you with years of protection from heat loss in your home. The key is to work with a professional to have this type of insulation placed.
