Blow-In Insulation
Also known as loosefill insulation, blow-in is a fiberglass product that uses a machine to shred and install it via a blower. It’s like a wood chipper, but instead of feeding it wood and/or bodies, you feed it fiberglass insulation.
Cost & Climate Friendly
Blow-in insulation in climates like Wisconsin enhances energy efficiency, comfort, and moisture control. It reduces condensation and noise while offering versatility and long-term savings. Made from recycled materials, it's an eco-friendly choice for maintaining a comfortable home environment year-round.
Why Choose Blow-In Insulation
Blow-in insulation offers multiple benefits to homeowners. It is often utilized in tandem with other insulation methods, but is flexible enough to handle almost all of your insulation needs.
Energy-Efficiency
Blow-in insulation creates a thermal barrier that helps to keep heat inside during the winter months and outside during the summer months. This can lead to reduced energy consumption for heating and cooling, ultimately lowering utility bills.
Versatility
Blow-in insulation can be installed in areas that may be difficult to reach with traditional batt insulation, such as attics and walls with obstructions. Its ability to conform to irregular spaces makes it a versatile option for insulating both new construction and existing homes.
Eco-Conscious
Many blow-in insulation materials are made from recycled materials, such as cellulose insulation made from recycled paper. Using recycled materials helps to reduce waste and minimize environmental impact.
Sound Absorption
Blow-in insulation can also act as a sound barrier, reducing the transmission of noise between rooms and from outside sources. This can contribute to a quieter, more peaceful indoor environment.

Blow In for Wisconsin Climates
Blow in insulation offers homeowners multiple benefits, particularly in Wisconsin’s variable climate. By creating a thermal barrier in your home, you’re instantly improving energy-efficiency and improving your home’s ability to maintain steady temperatures.
Blow in insulation also helps to eliminate drafts, due to its ability to conform to irregular nooks and crannies. Noise reducing benefits are also found with blow in insulation - though not a sound barrier, it’s often a great solution to help with sound dampening between floors in your home or interior walls.

FAQs
Learn more about our spray foam insulation services by reviewing our most commonly asked questions below.
Blow-in insulation is versatile and can be used in attics, walls, and crawl spaces. It's particularly effective in areas with irregular shapes or hard-to-reach spaces.
Blow-in insulation itself does not provide a moisture barrier. However, it can be installed with vapor barriers or in conjunction with other moisture control measures.
Blow-in insulation can be added to both existing homes and new construction. It's particularly effective for retrofitting older homes without disturbing existing structures.
Yes, blow-in insulation is safe. Cellulose is often treated with fire retardants, and both cellulose and fiberglass are non-toxic. Proper protective equipment should be used during installation to avoid inhaling particles.
Blow-in insulation provides excellent coverage for attics, walls, and hard-to-reach areas. It offers good thermal performance, reduces air leaks, and can improve energy efficiency. It's also often made from recycled materials.
If you start noticing increased energy costs, your furnace turning on more often, ice dams building on your roof line, cold walls, condensation or water spots - give Superior Spray Foam a call and we can swing by to do a site visit. Please note that it's not always possible to solve these issues without a remodel.
If we're installing spray foam, you can expect a lifespan of up to 100 years. Blow-in insulation can typically last 20-30 years, but can settle over time - reducing its effectiveness.
It's important that the space is cleared as much as possible, which will allow us to move about the space more quickly. Superior Spray Foam covers anything in the space that might be immovable, including windows and doors, but we request that everything that can be removed from the job site is.
Yes. There are various applications that can help deaden sound, based on the specifics of your project.
