Top Benefits of Blown-In TAP Insulation
Controls Termites, Cockroaches & Ants
What are the benefits of blown-in insulation, and what makes them a good choice for your attic? The information below will give you a better idea of the features of blown insulation, so you can assess whether it is suitable for your home.
Value for Money
In any home improvement project, you want to make sure you get a good return on your investment. Fortunately, blown in attic insulation provides great value for your money since you can expect significant savings in your energy costs after installation. The initial project costs may seem a bit high for some homeowners, but you will get substantial returns through major savings over the next few years.
Added longevity for the roof and shingles. A well-ventilated roof that includes an adequate layer of blown insulation can create a conditioned space in the attic. This conditioned space reduces the strain of heat on the sheathing that causes shingles to fail earlier.
You won’t need to worry about leaks from your air conditioning unit or heating system since the insulation will keep your home energy efficient.
High Energy Efficiency
Energy efficiency is one of the main reasons homeowners invest in insulation solutions, so it only makes sense that this is one of the top benefits of blown-in insulation. Since this type involves blowing the material into your attic, it can fill in the crevices and cracks more effectively to prevent air leaks, resulting in higher energy efficiency. 30-40% of energy loss is through the roof attic and 30-40% of energy loss is through your windows. Insulation is the most inexpensive way to reduce your heating and air conditioning costs.
Fiberglass continues to be a top choice since it is made with recycled glass, and over the years, cellulose insulation has also gained much traction for its sustainable properties. Additionally, this type of insulation qualifies for a LEED certification.
Noise Reduction
Blown-in insulation is also known for its noise reduction and sound control capabilities. The insulation blanket from the blown material has an airtight seal that helps reduce indoor noise coming from other rooms and outdoor noise. This benefit will be particularly attractive for those who enjoy using their attic for recreation or work as they can enjoy peace at home.
Fire Protection
Like the explanation above, the airtight seal from blown insulation offers an additional benefit. This sealing quality makes your home more resistant to fires since it prevents air from spreading into a fire and causing huge flames to erupt. Whether you choose fiberglass insulation or cellulose insulation, your home can expect this benefit.
Lower Condensation
Blown insulation does a good job covering gaps and small spaces to ensure your attic is completely covered with insulation. It helps reduce condensation and moisture in the area, which ultimately prevents mold and mildew from growing. Moisture can be a major issue for most homeowners as it can have detrimental effects on their insulation and roof, so you want to make sure to avoid it as best as you can!

Air Sealing:
The EPA recommends prior to installing new insulation that all attics be air sealed. Air leaking into your attic from electrical, plumbing, vents, and light fixtures wastes a lot of energy and increase your utility costs. A well sealed attic combined with the correct amount of insulation will make a big difference on your energy bill, reduce noise from the attic, help keep unwanted dust from entering your home, and give you overall better comfort and peace. Don’t think about replacing that old insulation without sealing off all gaps and cracks that could end up costing you thousands of dollars over the life of your new insulation.
