Types of Blown In Insulation

Fiberglass Insulation

At Bauer Specialty, we provide advanced fiberglass insulation services that maintain its flame and pest-resistant properties with improved effectiveness. Although lightweight, it may need regular filling but contributes effectively to energy efficiency.

Cellulose Fiber Insulation

We offer Eco-friendly and efficient cellulose insulation services. Made from recycled paper, this insulation is a preferred choice for creating trapped pockets of air, effectively slowing the transfer of energy from warm to cool areas.

Rock Wool Insulation

Despite being not widely used today, we provide insulation services using rock wool in Erie and surrounding areas in Pennsylvania. It's made from rock and blast furnace byproducts, offering resistance against fire, insects, mold, mildew, and sound.

Insulation Retrofit

We have extensive experience in providing retrofit projects, upgrading older insulation materials such as rock wool with more effective, modern insulation services to enhance durability and energy efficiency of homes.

Efficiency

Blown-in insulation is efficient in slowing the rate of heat transfer, ensuring your home remains warmer in winters and cooler in summers, resulting in lower energy consumption.

Environmentally Friendly

With insulation materials like cellulose fiber made from recycled products, blown-in insulation is an eco-friendly choice, contributing to sustainability and resource conservation.

Sound Resistance

Offering excellent sound absorption capabilities, blown-in insulation not only insulates your house thermally but also acoustically, reducing exterior noise and promoting a peaceful indoor environment.

FAQs

  • Is blown-in insulation the right choice for my home?

    Blown-in insulation can be an excellent choice for most homes due to its superior sealing capability. It's particularly effective for areas that are hard-to-reach or irregularly shaped, such as attics, basements, and wall cavities. This type of insulation offers high efficiency by slowing down the heat transfer and also has soundproofing benefits. In additional, certain materials used in blown-in insulation, like cellulose, are environmentally friendly as they are made from recycled paper products. However, specific needs can vary, and our team at Bauer Specialty will accurately assess your home to determine the best insulation solution for you.

  • How long does blown-in insulation last?

    The lifespan of blown-in insulation depends primarily on the material used. Fiberglass insulation can last up to 25 years but may need to be topped off occasionally due to settling. Cellulose insulation has a similar lifespan but with better resistance to settling. Rock wool insulation leads the pack in longevity and can serve well over several decades due to its superior fire and moisture resistance. However, regardless of the type, all insulation should be inspected periodically to ensure it's performing at its peak efficiency. 

  • How does blown-in insulation save energy?

    Blown-in insulation works by creating a barrier that reduces the heat transfer between the interior and exterior of your home. In winter, it keeps the warm air inside the house from escaping to the cold exterior, decreasing the load on your heating system. In summer, it prevents the hot exterior air from entering your home, reducing the strain on the air conditioning. The insulation also fills small cracks and crevices where heat leakage can occur, providing a more thorough insulation coverage. In addition, materials like cellulose, which is denser than fiberglass, can have higher R-values (a measure for thermal resistance), resulting in better insulating performance.
