Why blown-in insulation is an excellent choice
Energy efficiency in commercial buildings is not just a cost factor these days, but also an important contribution to sustainability. Blown-in insulation offers one of the best ways to achieve these goals. With effective thermal insulation, quick installation, and an environmentally friendly choice of materials, blown-in insulation is ideal for commercial buildings.
The advantages of blown-in insulation for commercial buildings
Excellent thermal insulation
Blown-in insulation fills even the smallest cavities, providing seamless insulation. This reduces heat loss and keeps the building warm in winter and pleasantly cool in summer.
Energy savings
Improved insulation significantly reduces energy consumption for heating and cooling. This leads to lower operating costs, which is particularly beneficial for companies with large buildings.
Environmental friendliness
Blown-in insulation is often made from recycled newspaper, making it a sustainable choice. Using recycled material reduces the need for new raw materials and minimizes environmental impact. For more information, see our blog post on cellulose insulation .
Soundproofing
Blown-in insulation provides not only thermal but also acoustic comfort. It reduces the transmission of noise within the building, thus creating a quieter working environment.
Time-efficient installation
Installation is quick and straightforward, minimizing disruption to business operations, which is crucial for companies.
Planning the blown-in insulation
Building valuation
Before work begins, a comprehensive assessment of the building is conducted, analyzing the existing insulation materials, potential weak points, and the structure of the cavities.
Choice of insulation material
Cellulose is often chosen as an insulation material because it is sustainable, fire-resistant, and durable. The thickness of the insulation material is tailored to the specific requirements of the building.
Calculating material requirements
The amount of insulation required is precisely calculated based on the area and the desired insulation values.
Preparation of the construction site
The construction site is prepared to ensure the insulation process runs smoothly. Areas not to be insulated are covered, and access for the insulation is created.
Security measures
Safety precautions will be taken during installation, including protective clothing and breathing masks to protect the health of workers.
The installation process
Preparation of the blowing machine
The insulation machine is set up and the material is filled into the container.
Blowing in the insulation material
The insulation is blown into the building’s cavities at high pressure, filling every gap and creating a continuous insulating layer.
Quality control
The quality of the installation is monitored throughout the entire process to ensure that the insulation meets the desired standards.
Final theses
After installation, protective coverings are removed and the construction site is cleaned. Any insulation residue is disposed of to ensure the building is in perfect condition.
The advantages of professional implementation
Effective insulation
Proper installation ensures even distribution of the insulation material, minimizing heat loss.
Focus on sustainability
