Blown Cellulose Insulation in Eugene, OR

Proudly Offering Free Estimates & a Satisfaction Guarantee

Blown cellulose insulation gets its name from the fact that it is installed by being blown into attics and wall cavities. This process gives your home the R-value it needs while providing a thick layer of insulation.

Not only is this type of insulation easy to install, but it is also incredibly efficient and environmentally friendly. In fact, cellulose insulation is created from recycled materials such as dated newspapers and old wastepaper that would otherwise be thrown out. These materials are made into a thick, fluffy insulation material that holds an R-value of R-4 per inch. To increase the fire rating for this type of insulation, a non-toxic borate solution is used to treat the insulation which actually gives the material the highest fire safety rating possible, a Class 1. This treatment also makes insulation resistant to harmful elements like insects and mold.

In addition to adding cellulose insulation or replacing your existing fiberglass insulation, if your attic is drafty and requires duct sealing to keep the warm or cool air in the ducts or air sealing to keep any unwanted air out of the attic, our team can help with that too.

Frequently Asked Blown Insulation Questions

How thick should blown attic insulation be?

It depends on the material blown in. We recommend blown-in cellulose as it takes up less space to get the same R-value as fiberglass, plus animals do not nest in cellulose like they do in fiberglass. The R-38 level is the minimum to do, and when using cellulose is 10.5 inches, yet fiberglass is 14.5 inches!

Is rolled insulation better than blown?

Our clients are surprised when we tell them fiberglass, whether rolled or blown, is not the best insulating material. Rodents and birds love to nest in fiberglass. It really is just an air filter; it is slowing down the air moving through your attic. Blown-in cellulose is made from recycled newsprint; it is treated with borate to prevent animals from nesting in it, and it also has a fire-retardant material. Blown-in cellulose in your attic puts a “blanket” in there that is much more effective and efficient that fiberglass.

What is the main benefit of blown-in insulation?

Blown-in insulation offers a high R-value, which improves energy efficiency by reducing heat loss in winter and keeping homes cooler in summer. It's also effective at filling gaps and voids in walls and attics.

How long does blown-in insulation last?

Blown-in insulation can last for decades if properly installed and maintained. It generally does not settle or degrade as quickly as other types of insulation, making it a long-term solution.

Is blown-in insulation safe for my home?

Yes, blown-in cellulose insulation is treated with non-toxic materials to enhance fire resistance and prevent pests, making it a safe choice for residential applications.

Can I install blown-in insulation myself?

While some homeowners may attempt a DIY installation, it is recommended to hire professionals to ensure proper installation techniques and safety measures are followed for optimal performance.

How does blown-in insulation compare to fiberglass insulation?

Blown-in cellulose insulation typically has a higher R-value per inch compared to fiberglass insulation, and it is made from recycled materials, making it a more environmentally friendly option.

What should I do if I have existing insulation?

If you have existing insulation, it's important to assess its condition. In some cases, blown-in insulation can be added on top of existing materials, but a professional evaluation can help determine the best course of action.
