Advanced Insulation are experienced and reputable insulation contractors in Winnipeg. They share more about blow-in cellulose insulation and why it’s an excellent choice for your attic upgrade.
What is cellulose insulation?
Cellulose insulation is a paper or wood-based product. Contractors use special equipment to blow it into empty spaces, like the attic or behind walls. Advanced Insulation offers a high-quality cellulose insulation product made of recycled materials and fire retardants. Cellulose insulation can slow the transfer of heat or cold and improve your home’s energy efficiency.
What are the pros of cellulose insulation?
There are several benefits to choosing blow-in cellulose insulation for your attic insulation upgrade.
Practical and convenient: Contractors can easily blow it into the attic, and will settle evenly around obstructions, filling empty spaces. Contractors can also inject loose-fill insulation into areas to insulate behind finished walls. This method is far less disruptive than taking down drywall to upgrade the insulation.
Excellent R-value: Cellulose has a higher R-value than fibreglass insulation. Depending on the product, it has an R-value of about 3.8 per inch. Fibreglass products average about 2.7 per inch.
Cost-effective: Cellulose blow-in insulation is less expensive than other options, such as spray foam insulation, but still provides excellent thermal performance.
Pest and fire-resistant: Cellulose insulation is treated with borates, making it resistant to pests like insects or vermin. Advanced Insulation’s product is also has a fire retardant, which can help slow the spread of fire in your home.
