Are you looking for a way to improve your home’s energy efficiency? One proven method is to increase the insulation level in the attic, crawl space, wall cavities and elsewhere in your home. Blown-in fiberglass insulation could be the perfect material for the job.
To learn more about installing blown-in insulation in your DC home, please call Accurate Insulation at (301) 358-6411 today.
As the name suggests, fiberglass insulation is comprised of extremely fine glass fibers. It’s one of the most widely used insulation materials today and has a history dating back decades. Most manufacturers include 20 to 30 percent recycled glass content in their fiberglass insulation, making this an excellent choice for the environment.
Fiberglass is available in multiple forms, including blown-in or loose-fill insulation. This variety must be applied using specialized equipment that distributes the insulation evenly, meaning professional installation is required. Typical applications for blown-in insulation include attic floors, wall cavities, crawl spaces and basements.
When you choose to insulate your new or existing home with blown-in fiberglass, these are the benefits you can expect:
