Blow-In Insulation

Efficient Insulation Coverage

Blow-in insulation uses specialized equipment to distribute loose-fill insulation material into attics, walls, and hard-to-reach spaces. It's one of the most cost-effective ways to improve your building's thermal performance.

For attics especially, blow-in insulation can achieve high R-values at a lower cost than other methods. It conforms to irregular spaces, fills around obstacles, and creates a continuous thermal blanket.

Insulation Materials

• Cellulose: Made from recycled paper products, treated for fire and pest resistance. Excellent thermal performance and environmentally friendly.
• Fiberglass: Loose fiberglass fibers that don't settle as much as cellulose. Good for areas where moisture might be a concern.

Applications

• Attic Insulation: The most common application—quick coverage of large attic spaces.
• Wall Cavities: Dense-pack installation fills existing wall cavities without removing drywall.
• Floor Cavities: Insulating between floors or over unheated spaces.
• Retrofits: Adding insulation to existing buildings without major renovation.
• Top-Ups: Adding to existing insulation that has settled or is insufficient.

Benefits of Blow-In Insulation

• Cost-Effective: Lower material and labor costs than spray foam for many applications.
• Fast Installation: Large areas can be insulated quickly.
• Fills Gaps: Loose material conforms to irregular shapes and fills around obstructions.
• Non-Invasive: Can be installed without major construction or demolition.
• Proven Performance: Decades of successful use in northern climates.

When to Choose Blow-In

Blow-in insulation is ideal when:

• You need to insulate a large attic space cost-effectively
• You're adding insulation to an existing building
• Wall cavities need filling without removing interior finishes
• Budget is a primary concern and spray foam isn't required

For areas requiring air sealing or vapor barriers, spray foam may be a better choice. We'll help you determine the right solution for your specific situation.
