As a homeowner, one of your biggest monthly expenses probably goes towards heating and cooling your house. Since you pay a pretty penny to have your home at a comfortable and livable temperature, it only makes sense to have your attic properly insulated so that effort and money isn’t being wasted. This leads you to ask though: what is the best type of insulation for an attic? While there are many excellent options to choose from, blown-in insulation stands out as a top contender.
How It Works
If you’re not familiar with this type of insulation, here’s a quick run-down. The insulation is fed into a machine which then spins it at a high speed, breaking it up. The fluffed insulation is then sprayed out of a hose, allowing whomever is installing it to cover every inch of your attic in one seamless blanket. This process ultimately makes blown-in insulation the best option because:
It’s Efficient
Other methods of installation can include cutting, placing, and arranging the insulation, almost like a puzzle. This can be time consuming, whereas blowing in insulation is a fairly quick process that typically takes less than a day to install.
It Never Settles
The way that the insulation is spun and blown results in a thick sheet that will never settle. This means that blown-in insulation will maintain its R-value (insulating power) for years to come.
It Traps Heat
As previously mentioned, other types of insulation are pieced together or laid next to each other, which can leave room for gaps that therefore allow heat to enter and leave your home. The continuous blanket of insulation that blown-in method creates leaves no room for heat to escape.
