Qualities of Blown-In Insulation
Blown-in insulation is commonly available in either a cellulose composition, or fiberglass. Quite an effective option in the attic and/or roof cavity, both products provide comparable R-Value where installed. While the cellulose product is known to provide somewhat higher R-Values, it also tends to settle after time. Clearly, each of the product compositions come with attributes – but importantly, it’s the professional installation that will assure optimal long-term performance.
Blown in insulation is fabricated to be fire resistant. Cellulose is treated to stop the spread of fire, while fiberglass is by nature hard to ignite. Fire resistance is a necessary feature in attic. Because of this, blownin insulation is often recommended as a “top up” to existing insulation. As long as the installation space is dry and uncontaminated, the “top up” approach can do the job. In fact, it’s a very cost effective installation for the attic, enhancing R-Values, and increasing the lifespan.
Benefits of Blown-In Insulation Services
Improving Energy Efficiency: Once installed, blownin insulation can noticeably improve energy efficiency. In a vast space like the attic, product coverage is comprehensive, and most cracks and crevices are effectively filled.- Sound Dampening Qualities: With a comprehensive install, blown in insulation can provide a level of sound dampening. This may be beneficial to homeowners, when adjacent areas to the attic are being used as living space.
- Installation that is Quick: With the right professional equipment, installing blown in insulation is quick, particularly when it’s compared with other installs. This makes for project savings, and a cost-effective installation.
- Comprehensive Coverage: Expertly installed, blown in insulation does a satisfactory job covering the attic space. Coverage is comprehensive: support crossbeams, plumbing pipes, electrical wiring, and all of the ductwork.
- Seasonal Energy Savings: Effectively insulating the attic with blown in insulation will prevent heated air and cooled air from escaping. This will reduce energy consumption, and will result in reduced utility costs.
- Benefits of Blown-In Insulation Over the Years: Simply put, blownin insulation provides enhanced energy efficiency throughout. It means that heating and cooling cycles will be better balanced, and the HVAC system will better perform.
- Fast Installation: Unlike traditional insulation methods that may require significant time and labor to install, blown-in insulation can be quickly and efficiently installed using specialized equipment. This means that homeowners and building managers can enjoy the benefits of improved energy efficiency and comfort in a shorter amount of time, with minimal disruption to their daily routines.

Where Can You Install Blown-In Insulation?
- Attic Insulation: Blown-in insulation is a great choice for insulating attics, which can be difficult to access and may require specialized equipment for installation. By chosing blown-in attic insulation, you can keep warm air inside during the winter and prevent hot air from entering during the summer, reducing energy costs and making your home more comfortable.
- Wall Insulation: Blown-in insulation in Toronto and the nearby area can also be installed in walls, particularly in older homes that may not have sufficient insulation. This can help to reduce heat loss and improve energy efficiency, leading to lower heating and cooling costs.
- Crawl Spaces Insulation: Crawl spaces are often overlooked when it comes to insulation, but they can be a significant source of energy loss in a home. By installing blown-in insulation in your crawl space, you can prevent heat transfer and reduce moisture buildup, which can lead to mold and other issues.
- Floor Insulation: Blown-in insulation can also be used to insulate floors, particularly in homes with crawl spaces or unfinished basements. This can help to reduce drafts and improve the overall energy efficiency of the home.
- New Construction Insulation: Blown-in insulation can be a great option for new construction projects, as it can be easily installed during the building process. This can help to ensure that the home or building is properly insulated from the start, reducing energy costs and improving comfort.
- Commercial Building Insulation: Blown-in insulation is not just for residential homes - it can also be used to insulate commercial buildings, such as offices, retail spaces, and warehouses. This can help to reduce energy costs and create a more comfortable environment for employees and customers alike.
- Soundproofing Insulation: In addition to its insulation properties, blown-in insulation can also be used for soundproofing purposes. By installing blown-in insulation in walls, floors, and ceilings, you can reduce noise transfer between rooms and create a quieter, more peaceful living or working environment.
Overall, blown-in insulation makes for a good return-on-investment. It’s a cost-effective application that delivers satisfactory insulation performance. But importantly, these are products that need expertise when installing. As such, a professional approach is highly recommended. At EcoStar, insulation experts ensure peak product performance, with excellent results for years.
