What is Blown-In Cellulose Insulation?

Blown-in cellulose insulation is a type of insulation made from recycled paper products, primarily newsprint, which is treated with fire retardants. This eco-friendly insulation material is blown into wall cavities, attics, and other spaces to provide a dense, effective barrier against heat loss and air infiltration.

How Does Blown-In Cellulose Insulation Work?

Blown-in cellulose insulation works by filling gaps and voids in your home's structure, creating a continuous thermal barrier. The insulation is installed using specialized equipment that blows the cellulose fibers into the desired areas, ensuring even coverage and optimal performance.

What are the Benefits of Blown-In Cellulose Insulation?

Energy Efficiency: Blown-in cellulose insulation provides excellent thermal performance, helping to reduce heating and cooling costs.
Soundproofing: The dense nature of cellulose insulation helps to reduce noise transmission between rooms and from outside.
Eco-Friendly: Made from recycled materials, blown-in cellulose insulation is an environmentally responsible choice.
Fire Resistance: Treated with fire retardants, cellulose insulation offers enhanced fire safety for your home.
Cost-Effective: Blown-in cellulose insulation is often more affordable than other insulation options, providing great value for your investment.
