Your Home Insulation Options Explained

Did you know that many homes in Massachusetts don't have any insulation at all? While this is most often the case in older homes,  newer homes can have insufficient insulation, too. Homes with inadequate insulation are drafty and much more difficult and expensive to heat over the winter. With energy costs rising, insulating your home is a smart way to save on your heating bill while making your home much more enjoyable and comfortable to live in over the winter. Bruin is your Massachusetts expert in blown-in insulation installation. Here's a look at a few of the popular options that can keep your home warm and cozy this season.

About Blown-In Insulation

Blown-in insulation is a great choice for many homeowners. This product allows the Bruin team to add insulation in wall cavities, attics, and hard-to-reach or irregularly shaped areas of your home. This is a popular solution for people who live in older homes, as the blown-in insulation can tackle any funky architecture your home might contain. At Bruin, we offer both fiberglass and cellulose blown-in insulation and are preferred partners with National Fiber and Owens Corning.

Cellulose Insulation

Cellulose insulation is a type of blown-in insulation that's made of environmentally sustainable materials. Cellulose insulation contains almost exclusively over-issue newsprint, the highest-quality available. This material is blended with chemicals to provide optimum density and make the material permanently fire retardant. Cellulose provides good sound insulation and moisture control in addition to insulation from the cold. It is a good option for people with sensitivities because it contains no asbestos, glass fibers, or formaldehyde. Bruin partners with National Fiber to provide our homeowners with exceptional-quality blown-in cellulose insulation.
