Enhance your home’s comfort and energy efficiency with Fusion’s expert attic insulation services. Proper attic insulation is key to maintaining consistent temperatures, reducing energy bills, and improving overall indoor air quality. At Fusion, we specialize in installing high-quality insulation that helps keep your home cooler in the summer and warmer in the winter, all while cutting down on your heating and cooling costs.
How Blown In Fiberglass/Cellulose Insulation is Installed
To install blown-in attic insulation, an installation crew of two professionals is required. Using
specialized pneumatic equipment, one professional will blow strands of fiberglass around the area
through a hose. The fiberglass insulation will then settle into the attic’s cavities and hard-to-reach areas
until a thick layer of insulation completely covers the space. The other member of the installation team
will simultaneously operate the blower unit from outside the house. Such operations will involve feeding
insulation into the hopper and controlling the air mixture to ensure that the hose functions correctly.
With some of the highest insulation R-values available, spray foam insulation can improve efficiency and comfort. Spray polyurethane foam (SPF) is a versatile insulation and sealant that can create a continuous air barrier on multiple surfaces in homes or buildings, including ceilings, walls and concrete slabs. Spray polyurethane foam is created by mixing two fast-reacting liquids, isocyanate and polyol resin, that expand to create foam when mixed.
Open-cell foam has a lower R-value per inch than closed-cell, and is typically about 30% less expensive. Due to the lower R-value, open-cell must be applied in a thicker layer. Because of this, it lends itself to areas that offer more space, such as attics, ceilings and floor joists.
Closed-cell foam is more expensive, but that investment pays off in a higher R-value per inch. In addition, because of it’s ‘sticky’ qualities and rigidity once cured, it can also provide increased structural integrity to walls and ceilings.
Up to 40 percent of a building’s energy is lost due to air infiltration.
Gaps and air leaks allow expensive heating and air conditioning to go to waste, and needlessly increase energy bills. The U.S. Department of Energy estimates that 56 percent of a home’s energy is used for heating and cooling.
An alternative to traditional cellulose and fiberglass insulation, spray foam insulation resists heat transfer and insulates and seals gaps. SPF creates a tight barrier and prevents hot and cold air, vapor and moisture from penetrating into a building’s interior. It can also be an effective a sound barrier.
When applied, spray polyurethane foam expands to insulate and fill cracks and gaps to provide a consistent air seal. According to the U.S. Department of Energy, using spray foam to minimize air leaks in walls and roofs, a typical homeowner could save up to 15 percent on heating and cooling costs.
Spray foam insulation provides excellent thermal performance and the highest R-value (a measure of thermal resistance) per inch for greater potential energy savings compared to other forms of insulation of comparable thickness. The higher the R-value, the greater the insulating properties of a material.
R-values for spray foam insulation range from 3.5 to 7 per inch of thickness, and some spray polyurethane foams provide the same energy savings in half the amount of space that may be typically required. To further illustrate the efficiency, if all of the 113 million single-family homes in the United States used SPF for insulation, Americans could save up to $33 billion in energy costs each year.
