Give your home an upgrade with blown in cellulose or fiberglass attic insulation and experience savings, good health, and home value!

Blown-in insulation fills every nook and cranny of the attic and creates an extra fluffy layer of effective insulation. It is a convenient choice that can be blown in over existing insulation or in between walls and ceiling joists without disturbing structures. Loose-fill fiberglass or cellulose can be blown on your attic floor, between walls, or other spaces that may require insulation. Blown-in insulation can easily cover large areas and will fill in areas with tight spaces and angles. Koala Insulation of Birmingham installs blown-in for retrofit, residential, commercial, and new build construction.

We have 3 convienant ways for you to get in touch

When it comes to blown-in insulation, you have two primary choices: Cellulose and Fiberglass. Learn more with our videos below!

CELLULOSE

Cellulose consists of fibers made from recycled newspaper, cardboard, or wood and is made with or without binders. Cellulose is a very common type of blown-in insulation as it is made from recycled materials and is chemically treated to resist pests, mold, and fire. Boric acid is the primary chemical used to treat Cellulose insulation and is found naturally in seawater, fruits, and plants.

FIBERGLASS

Fiberglass is made from plastic, glass, and other raw materials that are melted and spun into fibers that resemble the texture of wool. Fiberglass insulation has moisture and fire-resistant properties. Because fiberglass is made from sand and glass, it is naturally non-combustible. Fiberglass has significant recycled content with some loose-fill products containing up to 80% recycled glass.

Energy-efficient

Increasing the R-value of your insulation may help you to money on energy bills and maximize the energy efficiency of your home. Blown-in insulation is a environmentally conscious, cost effective way to increase your attic’s insulation, which in turn may help lower your cooling and heating bills. For maximum energy efficiency, we recommend a powerful combination of insulation and proper air sealing. This can help eliminate air leaks that pass through recessed light fixtures, plumbing areas, and duct work.

Blown-in insulation slows heat transfer from your attic to the lower levels of your home during the hot summer and works hard to keep the warm air inside your home during the cold winter months. The attic is the main location where heat enters and exits the home, making it difficult to keep your home temperatures consistent. Proper insulation can target reducing heat transfer while also allowing your HVAC system to increase its performance.

Environmentally Friendly

One of the many positive benefits Blown-in insulation has is that it is environmentally friendly. Not only does it improve the energy efficiency of your home, but it also helps protect the environment.

Cellulose is made up of 80% recycled materials, with the remaining consisting of non-toxic borate solution. This solution gives the insulation a Class-1 fire safety rating and makes it mold and pest resistant. Certain fiberglass products can contain up to 80% recycled glass products and is non-combustible.

Blown-in insulation not only protects your home from energy loss, butal so helps reduce emissions associated with heating and cooling equipment. For those home owners who are looking for economical ways to reduce their environmental impact, curb energy waste, and increase the comfort of your home, blown-in insulation may be the solution for you!

Blown-in insulation provides a dense, effective barrier against heating/cooling loss or gain, and it provides an affordable R-value per inch. “R” means resistance to heat flow. The higher the R-value, the greater the insulating power.

Dense-packed cellulose or fiberglass insulation blocks the bulk of air movement and has a higher R-value per inch than insulation installed at a lower density. Attics can accommodate a deep layer of insulation, as much as 16 to 26 inches, making the resistance to heat flow even higher by installing blown-in insulation.

Fiberglass blown-in insulation is a loose material which allows the installation amount to be customized according to your local energy efficiency recommendations. Depending on which climate zone you live in, you may need a higher R-value. The higher the R-value, the more it will decrease air flow and help you conserve energy.

When it comes to insulating your home, R-value matters.

Garage Attic Insulation Add

I recently needed some insulation work done in my attic. Koala Insulation was recommended to me and the service was amazing. Bethany arrived at my house within a couple of hours of my call to do the estimate and the guys arrived a couple of days later to do the work. Fantastic service and very friendly folks. Will use them again."

Attic Top Off

I needed my loose insulation topped off in the attic of my older house (it was low and non existent in some spots!). The quote was competitive and everyone was friendly/respectful, and I didn’t feel uncomfortable letting them in my house. The work was done well, they were careful not to scratch my floors/walls and made sure I was happy with everything before I left. One of the owners also called afterwards and told me to reach out if there is anything I’m not happy with. You love to see it! Looks like great work to me, I’m sure it’ll reduce my utility bills down the road. Pretty quick service too. Bethany came out to do the quote a couple days after I called, and the crew came to do the job 4 days after I decided to go with them. I’ll definitely be using them next time I need insulation. Thanks!"

Attic Top Off

Finally, a company that showed up on time and delivered excellent service. Bethany, thank you so much for coming on a short notice to give me a give a estimate. She could have been like other companies who just rode by my house to give me an estimate or a company who never gave me a call back. I like how Bethany did not try to over sell me or made me feel like I had to make an appointment right here right now. She gave me time to think about it before making my appointment. If, I ever have a problem with my insulation Koala will be my one and only call. The crew that came today was very prompt and very professional. Thank you so much."
