Blown Fiberglass Insulation Using Owens Corning Blown-in Fiberglass insulation to insulate your attic space is an ideal way of saving money on energy bills and reducing your carbon footprint. Fiberglass is a man-made product that is composed of natural materials such as sand and recycled glass; the ingredients are melted and spun to create small strands of fiberglass that together form glass wool. Fiberglass' other "Green" attribute, like other types of insulation is its insulating power that reduces energy use in homes and buildings. Owens Corning Blown-in Fiberglass exhibits an approximate R-Value of 2.8 per inch and is one of the most economical insulations on the market today. Blown Cellulose Insulation Weathersheild's Blown Cellulose Insulation is a product composed primarily of recycled newsprint that has ben treated for fire and pest resistance, with an R-Value 3.6 per inch, cellulose is a good insulator. 100 pounds of cellulose contains approximately 80-85 pounds of newsprint and the manufacturing process uses little energy to produce the product, making Weathershield's Cellulose a very "Green" product as well. An under insulated attic loses approximately 30% of the homes energy. Blown fiber insulation's low cost per square foot combined with its energy saving attributes makes strong economical and enviomental sense when deciding to re-insulate your attic. |
