The Top Benefits of Blown-In Insulation | Koala Insulation of GR

When it comes to your home insulation options, understanding the different types of insulation that are available is an absolute must. Blown-in insulation offers several noteworthy benefits. Available using either Fiberglass or cellulose, blown in insulation is one of the most common insulation choices among homeowners. Here’s why.

3 Benefits of Using Blown-In Insulation

1. Superior Energy Efficiency

Blown-in insulation can fill spaces in attics that often can’t be reached with standard batts. Because the insulation can get into even the tiniest cracks and crevices and doesn’t have seams, it does a better job of creating a comprehensive seal that keeps indoor air trapped inside. It can even cover wood crossbeams, ductwork, electrical wiring, and other features. This can significantly lower your heating and cooling costs throughout the year.

2. Fire and Condensation Protection

By creating a seal in the attic, blown-in insulation will help reduce condensation and moisture buildup in this space. This in turn makes mold and mildew growth much less likely, preventing wood rot and air quality issues that might otherwise occur. In addition, the seal created by the insulation helps keep additional air from flowing into the home if a fire were to occur, helping reduce how much fresh oxygen could feed the flames.

3. Fast Installation

While batt insulation requires a more intensive installation process, blown-in insulation can be installed in just a few hours. One person feeds the material into the truck’s blowing machine, while the other distributes it into the attic with a specialty hose. This allows for quick, evenly distributed insulation that won’t cause a significant disruption to your daily routine.
