The R-Value of Blown-In Insulation
In addition to the environmentally friendly benefits, blown-in insulation provides outstanding R-values for thermal conductivity. You may be wondering what an R-value is and how it impacts you. R-value is a measure used to determine how well a material can prevent heat from moving through it. To put it simply, the R-value of your insulation is vital to helping you maintain a comfortable temperature inside your home year-round.
As temperatures drop, traditional fiberglass insulation can lose up to 50% of its R-value, reducing its ability to insulate effectively. However, blown-in insulation actually improves its R-value in colder temperatures. The same is true during the summer — while fiberglass insulation loses up to three times the R-value of blown-in insulation as temperatures rise, blown-in insulation remains resilient.
A standout example of blown-in insulation is stabilized cellulose insulation. It contains a powder that, when combined with a small amount of water, allows it to adhere to vertical surfaces. This makes it ideal not only for attics but also for insulating walls, providing greater versatility and efficiency.
Moreover, when professionally installed, blown-in insulation creates a seamless barrier against heat, air, and moisture transfer. This helps maintain a stable indoor temperature and dramatically lower your energy costs throughout the year.
