Blow-In Attic Insulation

Blow-in attic insulation, also known as AttiCat insulation, is a type of insulation material that is designed to be installed in attics. It is made up of loose-fill fiberglass insulation that is blown into the attic space using a specialized machine. 

Attic insulation is important because it helps to create a thermal barrier between the inside of your home and the outside elements. It can help to reduce heat loss in the winter and heat gain in the summer, leading to improved energy efficiency and lower heating and cooling costs. 

Here are some key features and benefits of blow-in attic insulation: 

1. Easy Installation: AttiCat insulation is installed by professionals using a blowing machine. The insulation is blown in to fill the attic space evenly and quickly. 

2. Excellent Coverage: The blowing process ensures that the insulation fills all gaps and voids in the attic, providing a consistent layer of insulation that helps to prevent air leakage. 

3. Energy Efficiency: By adding attic insulation, you can reduce the amount of energy needed to heat or cool your home, resulting in lower energy bills. 

4. Comfort: Proper insulation helps to maintain a more consistent indoor temperature, making your home more comfortable year-round. 

5. Noise Reduction: Attic insulation can also help to reduce noise transmission from the outside, creating a quieter living environment. 

6. Fire Resistance: Blow-in attic insulation is typically made of fiberglass, which is non-combustible and can help to slow down the spread of fire. 

It’s important to note that proper installation is key to achieving the desired energy-saving benefits. It is recommended to hire a professional insulation contractor to ensure the insulation is installed correctly and to the recommended R-value for your region.
