Blown-in Loose Fill Insulation

High-Quality Insulation for Every Space

We use the highest quality Blown-in Loose fill insulation (fiberglass & cellulose) and Rolled or Batt insulation. Blown-in Loose fill conforms to fit nearly any type of location – even the peskiest obstructions or areas in your attic space.

What Is Loose Fill Insulation?

Loose fill insulation—sometimes called blown-in insulation—is made of small particles of fiberglass or cellulose that are blown into attics, walls, or floors using specialized equipment. This form of insulation is ideal for irregularly shaped spaces, around obstructions, or to top off existing insulation layers. Its loose consistency allows it to fill small gaps and voids, offering excellent coverage and energy efficiency.

Why Choose Fiberglass Insulation?

Fiberglass is a cost-effective and durable insulation option. Among its advantages, fiberglass insulation is simple to install, resists moisture buildup and mold growth, reduces unwanted noise, does not require wet adhesives, and does not rot or deteriorate with age.

Loose insulation is known for:

  • Excellent R-Value: R-values can reach up to R-3.5 to R-3.8 per inch for cellulose and R-2.2 to R-2.9 per inch for fiberglass.
  • Air Gap Reduction: It fills cracks and cavities more effectively than batt insulation.
  • Quick Installation: Perfect for both retrofit and new builds, installation is fast with minimal disruption.
  • Eco-Friendly Options: Cellulose is made from recycled newspaper, making it a green choice.
  • Affordable Energy Savings: Boost your home's thermal barrier without a complete renovation.

Soundproofing Benefits of Fiberglass Insulation

Fiberglass insulation is highly effective at absorbing sound, making it an excellent choice for homeowners looking to minimize noise transfer between rooms or from outside sources. Whether it’s traffic noise, loud neighbors, or echoes within your home, fiberglass insulation helps create a quieter and more comfortable living space. Its dense composition traps sound waves, reducing reverberation and preventing sound from traveling through walls and ceilings.

Because fiberglass insulation will not settle, it will maintain the same energy-saving R-value over time. Blown-in Loose Fill conforms to fit nearly any type of location – even the peskiest obstructions or areas in your attic space.

Superior Thermal Performance for Energy Savings

Beyond soundproofing, fiberglass insulation is an industry leader in thermal performance. By reducing heat transfer, it stabilizes indoor temperatures, keeping homes warm in the winter and cool in the summer. This translates to significant energy savings and lower utility bills. Unlike some insulation materials that degrade over time, fiberglass maintains its R-value for decades, ensuring continuous energy efficiency without the need for frequent replacements.

The Net and Blow Method for Comprehensive Coverage

Many new construction projects also take advantage of the net and blow method of installing loose fill inside walls.

This method not only ensures comprehensive thermal coverage but also enhances a home's acoustic insulation. The densely packed fibers create an effective barrier against airborne noise, making it an ideal choice for home offices, bedrooms, and entertainment rooms where sound control is essential.

This is a process that occurs prior to hanging drywall, where specialized netting is stapled onto the exposed studs to create an enclosed cavity where loose fill insulation is then ‘fed’ through a small penetration to create a densely insulated cavity between the studs.

Cellulose Insulation: An Eco-Friendly Alternative

We also offer dry cellulose loose fill which is installed with the same equipment and utilizing the same process as fiberglass.

Cellulose insulation provides similar soundproofing advantages, thanks to its dense structure that helps dampen vibrations and muffle unwanted noise. It also excels in thermal resistance, reducing drafts and preventing temperature fluctuations that can make a home less comfortable. Plus, its eco-friendly composition makes it a great choice for homeowners looking for sustainable insulation solutions.

It is made of recycled paper, consisting primarily of newspaper but also including some cardboard and other appropriate papers. It is the best environmentally-conscious option because it is sourced in the recycling arena, though it is treated before use as insulation.

Maximize Comfort and Savings with Quality Insulation

Whether you’re looking to improve soundproofing, increase energy efficiency, or both, our high-quality insulation solutions are designed to provide long-term performance. Investing in proper insulation not only makes your home more comfortable but also helps you save money on energy costs while reducing noise disturbances.

FAQs About Loose Fill Insulation

1907 loose fill insulation

How much loose fill insulation do I need in my attic?
That depends on your current insulation level and the size of your attic. Most Oklahoma homes should aim for R-38 in the attic, which usually means 10–14 inches of loose fill. We can measure your existing depth and recommend how much to add.

Can I put loose insulation over old insulation?
Yes, adding loose fill over existing insulation is common and effective. As long as the old material is dry and in decent condition, it doesn’t need to be removed.

How long does blown-in insulation take to install?
Most residential jobs take just a few hours. For example, blowing insulation into a standard attic in Edmond or Norman can usually be done in half a day or less.

Is cellulose or fiberglass better for loose fill insulation?
Both work well, but cellulose tends to provide a higher R-value per inch and is more eco-friendly. Fiberglass resists moisture better and settles less. We’ll recommend what fits your home best.

Will loose fill insulation help lower my energy bills?
Yes—especially if your attic or walls are under-insulated. Most homeowners see a noticeable drop in heating and cooling costs after upgrading.

Can I install loose fill insulation myself?
Technically yes, but the equipment can be hard to handle and it’s easy to miss areas or apply it unevenly. Most people save time and get better results by hiring a pro.

How do I know if my home needs more insulation?
If you feel drafts, notice uneven room temps, or your energy bills are higher than normal, there’s a good chance your insulation isn’t up to standard. A free inspection can tell you for sure.
