Blown-in Insulation Photo Album: Blown-in Cellulose Insulation in Hampton, VA

This attic was originally insulated with loose fiberglass, this material allows air to easily pass through it and escape into the unconditioned attic and out of your home. At this home, we installed an R-38 of blown-in cellulose insulation. Cellulose is more dense and therefore does not allow as much air to pass through. in addition, it is 85% recycled material and manufactured with borate, a substance that deters pests, making it fire retardant.
