Blown-In Insulation
Blown-in cellulose or fiberglass insulation is an affordable, high-quality option to effectively insulate many types of attics. Safe Home Resource home insulation experts can inspect your house and discuss the roofing insulation options that work best for you.
Is Blown-In Insulation better than Rolled Batt Insulation?
Several factors come into play when determining which insulation method is best for your home:
The design of your roof and attic space: Blow-in insulation works especially well in hard-to-reach attic spaces that are well-protected from water intrusion. If batt insulation can’t be properly unrolled in tight spaces, even a slight gap between batts can reduce the R-value to near zero – blown-in insulation leaves no such gaps.
The quality of your roof: If your roof is well maintained, reducing risk of leaks to near zero, then blow-in insulation is a great option. A small leak in an area that’s hard to see, can absorb moisture and cause significant mold and mildew buildup before the first symptoms reach your eyes or nose.
Implemented infestation controls: If your house is properly sealed, with all potential entry points for rats and mice blocked, blown-in insulation can be considered.
How well your house has aged: If your roofing, siding, or framing needs repair or replacement, opportunities for moisture intrusion must be identified and remedied first. It’s best to repair these issues before landing on an insulation solution, so check to see if your home is getting close to a re-roofing and if possible, get that done first.
Your budget: Spray foam insulation is hands down the best insulation, with a substantially higher R-value for energy efficiency and the highest form of rodent nest prevention. It is an investment, though, and may be out of reach for some budgets.
