Home insulation comes in more forms than people may realize. Long batting insulation that comes in big rolls is the most typical form that people think of when they think of insulation, but other forms, such as blow-in insulation, exist as well with their own benefits. Here are a few of the top benefits of blow-in insulation.
- It’s easy to install. As the name implies, blow-in insulation is installed by blowing insulation through a tube. This is a much easier installation process than cutting and placing batting insulation, which means your installation contractor can get the job done in a much shorter amount of time.
- It’s perfect for awkward spaces. Blow-in insulation is particularly useful in the attic, where it’s more common to encounter awkward slopes and spaces that make installing batting insulation a more complicated job. For hard-to-reach spots, blow-in insulation can easily be installed without safety concerns or trying to fit somewhere that doesn’t have enough room to stand or even sit.
- It’s highly efficient. The main purpose of home insulation is to increase your home’s energy efficiency. Blow-in insulation is highly energy efficient, in large part because it can fit in those tight spaces where fitting in batting insulation is a real challenge. When your home is more energy efficient, your HVAC system won’t have to work as hard to keep your home at a comfortable temperature.
Blow-in insulation is a useful addition to home spaces even if you use batting insulation in other areas of your home.
