Blown-in insulation is a loose-fill insulation material installed with professional blowing equipment. It is commonly used in attics, roof spaces, wall cavities, and other areas where insulation needs to fill uneven or hard-to-reach spaces.
Instead of being installed in rolls or batts, the insulation is blown into place through a hose. This allows the material to spread evenly around joists, corners, gaps, and irregular areas.
Blown-in insulation is a popular option for attic upgrades because it can help improve comfort, reduce heat loss, and support better energy efficiency throughout the year.
Main benefits of blown-in insulation
1. Better attic coverage
Blown-in insulation can fill small gaps and uneven spaces that may be difficult to cover with batt insulation.
2. Improved comfort
A properly insulated attic can help reduce temperature changes between rooms and make the home feel more consistent.
3. Energy efficiency
Adding insulation can help reduce heat loss in winter and heat gain in summer.
4. Good for upgrades
Blown-in insulation can often be added over existing attic insulation when the current insulation is dry, clean, and in suitable condition.
Where blown-in insulation is commonly used
Blown-in insulation may be used in:
• Attics
• Roof spaces
• Wall cavities
• Renovation projects
• Older homes
• Areas with uneven insulation coverage
Before installation, the attic should be inspected for ventilation, air leaks, moisture issues, safe access, and the condition of the existing insulation.
