Why blown-in insulation is a smart choice
Energy efficiency, sustainability, and comfort – these are the key aspects that good insulation should fulfill. Blown-in insulation offers a perfect combination of technical performance and environmentally friendly properties. But what makes this method so special?
How does blown-in insulation work?
The basics of blown-in insulation
Blown-in insulation is based on cellulose flakes made from recycled newspaper. These flakes are treated with fire and pest-retardant additives to ensure their durability and safety.
Precise insertion into cavities
Installation is achieved by blowing the cellulose flakes into walls, roofs, or floors. This is done using special machines that ensure even distribution and a seamless insulation layer.
Focus on sustainability
Because blown-in insulation is made from recycled material, it contributes to CO2 reduction and resource conservation. Learn more about the benefits of environmentally friendly insulation in our blog post about cellulose .
The advantages of blown-in insulation
High energy efficiency
Blown-in insulation significantly reduces heat loss by filling every gap in the insulation. This leads to lower energy costs and improves the building’s energy efficiency.
Soundproofing included
The dense structure of the cellulose flakes has a sound-insulating effect and reduces disturbing noises from outside and inside the house.
Moisture regulation
Blown-in insulation absorbs and releases moisture without losing its insulating properties. This prevents mold growth and improves the indoor climate.
Environmentally friendly and resource saving
Made from recycled waste paper, blown-in insulation is a prime example of sustainable construction. Visit our About Us page to learn more about our commitment to sustainability.
Application areas of blown-in insulation
walls
Blown-in insulation is ideal for exterior and interior walls, especially for energy-efficient modernization.
roofs
In attics and suspended ceilings, blown-in insulation provides reliable thermal insulation and thus reduces heating costs.
Soils
Blown-in insulation also helps minimize heat loss in floors and create a pleasant indoor climate.
Old building renovations
Blown-in insulation is particularly effective when renovating older buildings, as it can be easily installed into existing cavities.
Professional installation
Why experts are important
Effective installation of blown-in insulation requires experience and expertise. Mistakes in placement or material selection can compromise insulation performance.
Blower door tests for optimal results
After installation, we recommend a blower door test to check the airtightness of the building and identify any weak points.
Funding opportunities and grants
There are numerous funding programs for sustainable construction projects in Belgium and Luxembourg. These can help you reduce the costs of blown-in insulation. Learn more in our FAQs or contact us directly via our contact page .
Conclusion: Blown-in insulation for more efficiency and comfort
Blown-in insulation offers numerous benefits, from excellent energy efficiency to a more sustainable living environment. It is the ideal solution for new construction, renovations, and energy-efficient modernizations.
