You can’t shove the pink stuff into a closed wall, and you certainly can’t tear down the wall, only to rebuild it again later. Blown, or sprayed-in insulation can make your home more energy efficent, as well as keep the cold outside where it belongs.
Fiber glass is the most common type of blown- and sprayed-in insulation material. Retrofitting insulation into existing walls and attic space can achieve a 20 to 30 percent savings in heating and cooling bills.
Fiber glass, blown-in insulation is a popular choice for attics and hard to reach areas. Properly applied, blow-in fiberglass insulates better then any other type of insulation. Proper technique in the application is critical. Fiberglass can be “fluffed up” if care is not taken during its application. “Overblowing” fiberglass occurs when the installer applies enough material to reach the desired depth, but with less material then is required to achieve the proper rate value. Manufacturer’s recommendations on coverage should be followed. Makers of fiberglass insulation list specific “depth plus density” recommendations to achieve proper results.
It’s best to let a professional do this type of insulation. As stated above, if you get it wrong, you could end up paying a lot more then necessary to fix the already existing problem.
This is where JTS Insulation comes in. We are certified for both, blown-in as well as regular, fiber glass insulation. If you want the best, forget the rest and try JTS.
