Blown insulation: A DIY project?

If you’re like most homeowners, you like to develop projects at home. These projects can be as simple as painting the walls or as complex as insulating the attic. Many homeowners have no experience when it comes to insulation and these projects can lead to an even bigger problem. Let’s face it, it is always a better idea to count on a professional.

Blown insulation is one of the many options for insulating homes. Here are some benefits for choosing this option:

Blown-In Insulation is more efficient because the loose-fill insulation is a monolithic layer of insulation. It doesn’t have seams like batts and studies have shown that loose-fill insulation performs up to 22% better than batts of the same R value.

Easy to Install. Another benefit of blown-in insulation is the fact that it is very easy to install and can be completed in no time. A professional can take care of blown-in insulation much more quickly than they can install other types of insulation.

Good Investment. Adding loose-fill insulation to your attic is one of the fastest paybacks of any home improvement project.  The amount of money you save on energy costs will add up quickly over the next couple of years.

We can find on the internet professional advices about how to do blown insulation for your attic. It seems so simple that we think we can do it by ourselves. But we have to consider that blown insulation requires professional equipment to properly install which makes it very difficult to install without consulting a professional. We take a risk when trying to insulate our attic without a professional and the results can not be the best so it is highly recommended hiring someone that can achieve the best results.

Energy-Efficient Homes: Wall Cavity Insulation

Most of you are wondering about the real benefits of wall cavity insulation. This is one of the various ways to insulate our home so here we will present reasons why we should consider this option.

About a third of all the heat lost in an un-insulated home escapes through the walls. Heat will always flow from a warm area to a cold one. In the winter, the colder it is outside, the faster heat from your home will escape into the surrounding air.

Cavity wall insulation is used to reduce heat loss through a cavity wall by filling the air space with material that inhibits heat transfer. This immobilizes the air within the cavity, preventing convection, and can substantially reduce space heating costs.  Cavities are often filled with glass fiber wool or rock wool panels. Cavity wall insulation also helps to prevent convection and can keep a house warm by making sure that less heat is lost through walls. This can also  be a more cost-efficient way of heating one's house.

Whether your structure is new or an existing one, you can add wall cavity insulation to most types of walls. If your home is older, then you may not have wall insulation.
