blown in Insulation

Blown-in insulation, also known as loose-fill insulation, is a type of insulation material that is blown into place using a special machine and hose. It's a common method for insulating attics, walls, and other spaces in homes, and it's available in various materials like fiberglass and cellulose.  

•  A machine mixes the insulation material (e.g., fiberglass or cellulose) with air, and then a hose delivers it to the areas needing insulation.  

• Energy efficiency: Blown-in insulation can improve a home's energy efficiency by reducing drafts and improving the R-value (a measure of heat resistance). 
• Fire resistance: Some materials, like cellulose, are treated with fire retardants, and the tight fit of blown-in insulation can help prevent the spread of fire. 
• Ease of installation: It can be blown into hard-to-reach areas and is relatively easy to install compared to other insulation methods. 
• Cost-effectiveness: While the initial cost can be higher, the energy savings over time can offset the expense.
