BLOWN IN INSULATION
As one of the leading commercial and residential Toronto insulation companies in Toronto, Konstruction Group Inc. offers blown-in insulation services for your new custom home or renovation needs.
In a house that’s poorly insulated, one way to stay warm is rolling up your sheets or layering a number of sweaters. However, your heating system would be working overtime and ultimately, you will have to pay an unreasonable amount for your monthly utility bills. We can help you inspect the existing insulation to see the root cause of the problem. Older homes are often under-insulated, so Konstruction Group Inc. recommends a home insulation method called blown-in insulation. For custom new homes, it is very common to use blown-in insulation in attic areas.
What is Blown-in Insulation?
Blown-in insulation refers to the process of filling the cavities of ceilings, or attic roofs with a loose material that has a high R-value, typically R60. The most common material used for blown-in insulation are loose-fill fiberglass and cellulose. Loose-fill fiberglass are usually packaged in large bags. These tiny chunks of fiberglass are blown using a blower machine that spreads the chunks all over the cavities and tight spaces.
On the other hand, blown-in cellulose is made up of recycled cardboard or newspaper that are chemically treated to resist fires and mold. Cellulose is designed with eco-friendliness in mind and for these reasons, is often the blown-in insulation choice of most homeowners.
Benefits of Blown-in Insulation
Blown-in insulation is perfect for re-insulating your attic roof where there is already existing drywall installed. It eliminates the need for tearing down existing drywall sheets. It can also seal small gaps and spaces as it settles, thus filling crucial spots where cold air otherwise come in. Blown-in insulation is generally considered to be much cheaper than other types of insulations. It can exceed expectations provided that it’s installed properly in the correct places and the material used is of high-quality.
Blown-in Insulation Material is Readily Available
Bags of loose-fill fiberglass and cellulose are readily available at your local home improvement stores like Home Depot. You can always do the DIY approach for blown-in insulation, but you need to make sure that you don’t hit pipes and wiring when drilling holes for the blower nozzle.
The location of the hole should also be strategically located when insulating hard to reach areas of your home. If this is something you’re not confident on doing, this is where we come in and help.
