What is Blown-In Insulation?
Blown-in insulation is one of the most effective ways to improve the energy efficiency and comfort of your home or commercial property. At East Coast Insulation, we specialize in professional blown-in fiberglass insulation installation and removal for attics and other hard-to-reach spaces.
Blown-in insulation is mainly composed of sand that is heated and spun into a cotton fiber, much like how sugar is made into cotton candy. It retains all the attributes of sand: no smell, no rotting, and it doesn’t burn, making it one of the safest and most natural products on the market.

Benefits of Blown-In Insulation
Improved Energy Efficiency
Blown-in insulation helps reduce heat loss in the winter and heat gain in the summer, which can significantly lower heating and cooling costs.
Consistent Coverage
The loose material fills small gaps and irregular spaces, creating a more even insulation layer.
Better Indoor Comfort
Proper insulation helps maintain consistent indoor temperatures and reduces drafts throughout the home.
Noise Reduction
Blown-in insulation can also reduce sound transfer between rooms and from outside noise.
Ideal for Attic Insulation
Attics are one of the most common areas where energy loss occurs, making blown-in insulation an excellent upgrade for many homes.

FAQ: Blown-In Insulation
How long does blown-in insulation last?
In a properly-designed attic, blown-in insulation can last the lifetime of the home. But the material will be easily destroyed when compromised by human traffic, water traffic, or contaminated by pests.
Is blown-in insulation safe?
Yes, it is made of sand and retains all of the safety attributes of sand: no deterioration and no flammability.
How do I know if my attic needs new insulation?
Signs you may need additional or replacement insulation include high energy bills, uneven temperatures in your home, drafty rooms, or visible gaps in attic insulation.
How thick should blown-in attic insulation be?
The recommended insulation depth depends on climate and building codes. In South Carolina, the requirement is R-30 which is 12 inches thick. In Georgia, the requirement is R-38, which would be 15 inches thick.
Can blown-in insulation be added over existing insulation?
Yes, we can easily add more blown-in insulation over the top of existing insulation to bring your building up to code.
How long does insulation installation take?
Most blown-in attic insulation installations can be completed in 1 to 1.5 hours. Old insulation only needs to be removed if it has been compromised by water or pests, which would add some time to the installation.
