Blow In
Blow in insulation is a method that allows us to easily install insulation into an existing structure. It can be used to implement new insulation, as well as strengthen old, ineffective insulation. Blow in insulation techniques are used most commonly for attics, which are some of the most important places to implement insulation. Attics are usually insufficiently insulated, which results in a great amount of energy loss. Heat rises, so heat commonly escapes through air leaks in the attic. Blow in insulation is a great way to increase the effectiveness of the insulation in your attic.
What is Blow In Insulation?
Blow in insulation is a method for insulation that is capable of implementing insulation into an existing structure. It uses a machine called a blower. This machine mixes fiberglass and other recycled material with air, creating a material. The machine then forces this mixture to fill cavities through holes in the walls. Before it is inserted into the cavities, this material is treated with boric acid and other chemicals that can make it both flame and mold-resistant.
Benefits of Blow In Insulation
Blow in insulation is a great way to improve the efficiency of your insulation. It increases energy efficiency in the home, reducing your overall energy costs. This kind of insulation is also an effective way to limit heat flow both in and out of the home. It is a very green method for insulation, because it usually implements recycled products. Blow in insulation doesn’t require a significant amount of work in order to implement the insulation into existing construction.
