Blown-In Attic Insulation Services
Blown-in attic insulation is an increasingly popular choice for attics, offering several advantages over traditional fiberglass batts or rolls. It installs quickly and easily in most homes, making it an excellent option—especially for older houses where access may be challenging. At S&S Insulation, we specialize in two types of blown-in insulation: fiberglass and cellulose.
Blown-In Fiberglass Insulation
Fiberglass blown-in insulation is made from spun molten glass fibers, typically containing 20% to 30% recycled glass. This type of insulation is effective and lightweight, providing excellent thermal resistance. To meet local building codes and achieve optimal energy efficiency, it’s important that your attic insulation is installed to the proper depth to reach the required R-Value.
Blown-In Cellulose Insulation
Cellulose blown-in insulation is primarily made from up to 85% recycled newsprint treated with fire-retardant chemicals such as ammonium sulfate and borate. These treatments also help prevent mold, insects, and rodents. Because blown-in cellulose is loose-fill, it easily conforms to irregular shapes and tight spaces—making it ideal for vaulted ceilings and older homes with unique attic designs.
Guaranteed Bag Count for Quality Installation
All loose-fill insulation settles over time. Federal regulations and industry standards require that blown-in fiberglass and cellulose insulation be installed to a specific settled density to ensure the correct R-Value. At S&S Insulation, we guarantee the proper number of bags are installed for your attic, using UPC codes to verify the exact quantity required. This commitment ensures your home receives the insulation performance it needs for year-round comfort and energy savings.

Spray Foam Attic Insulation
At S&S Insulation, we specialize in spray foam attic insulation, offering superior air sealing that enhances your home's energy efficiency.

When insulating your attic, you have two main options: applying spray foam directly to the roof deck or spraying it across the attic floor. Both methods are effective, and our knowledgeable team will recommend the best solution tailored to your specific project needs.

FAQs
What is the best attic insulation?
The best attic insulation depends on your climate, budget, and needs. Common types are:
Fiberglass: Cheap and common, good for most attics.
Spray Foam: Great at sealing air and high insulation value.
Cellulose: Eco-friendly, made from recycled materials, and works well.
To pick the right one, check your attic condition, local climate, energy goals, and budget.
How much attic insulation do you need?
The amount of attic insulation you need depends on several factors, including your climate, the size of your attic, and the insulation you already have installed. Insulation effectiveness is measured by R-values, which indicate how well the material resists heat flow. Typically, attic insulation should have an R-value between R-30 and R-60, while walls generally require R-13 to R-21. For precise recommendations, consult local building codes or a professional insulation contractor.
Can I add Insulation to my Attic?
Yes, you can add insulation to your attic. However, a professional assessment is recommended to ensure the existing structure can support additional insulation and to determine the most effective type and installation method. Factors such as current insulation condition, ventilation, moisture levels, and attic accessibility will influence the best approach for improving your attic's insulation.
Do you sell insulation material only?
No, we do not sell only insulation material. We also offer installation services, consulting, and energy efficiency solutions to support your project from start to finish.
Do you remove existing insulation?
Yes, we do remove insulation. We can remove existing fiberglass batt and loose-fill insulation, as well as loose-fill cellulose in attic spaces.
Do you insulate old homes?
Yes, we do! We usually install extra attic insulation and can also insulate crawlspaces. We work on both older homes and new construction.
