Blown-In Attic Insulation

Professional blown-in cellulose and fiberglass insulation installed to R-50 or higher. The most effective upgrade for reducing heat loss and lowering energy bills.

// What Is Blown-In Insulation

THE GOLD STANDARD FOR ATTIC INSULATION

Blown-in insulation is installed using specialized equipment that blows loose-fill cellulose or fiberglass into your attic space. Unlike batt insulation, which comes in pre-cut rolls and leaves gaps around obstructions, blown-in insulation fills every cavity, crack, and irregular space to create a seamless thermal blanket.

This method is faster to install, provides better coverage, and achieves higher R-values per inch than traditional batts. For Metro Vancouver homes, blown-in insulation is the preferred method for both new installations and upgrades.

We use both cellulose (made from recycled paper with fire retardant treatment) and fiberglass blown-in products, selecting the best material based on your attic's specific conditions, existing insulation, and moisture management needs.

// R-Value Guide

UNDERSTANDING R-VALUES

R-12 to R-20
Below Standard

Common in homes built before 1990. Provides minimal thermal resistance and results in significant heat loss.

R-32 to R-40
Moderate

Better than many older homes but still below the recommended level for our climate zone.

R-50
Recommended Minimum

The minimum recommended by Natural Resources Canada for Climate Zone 4. Qualifies for rebates.

R-60
Optimal

Provides the best balance of energy savings and cost. Qualifies for maximum rebates.

Frequently Asked Questions

What type of blown-in insulation do you use?
We primarily use blown-in cellulose and fiberglass insulation. Cellulose is made from recycled paper treated with fire retardants and offers excellent thermal performance (R-3.5 to R-3.7 per inch). Fiberglass blown-in provides R-2.5 to R-3.7 per inch. We recommend the best option based on your attic's specific conditions.
What R-value should my attic have?
For Metro Vancouver (Climate Zone 4), Natural Resources Canada recommends R-50 to R-60 for attic insulation. Most homes built before 2000 have R-12 to R-20, which is far below optimal. Upgrading to R-50+ can reduce heat loss through your attic by 60-80%.
Can blown-in insulation be added on top of existing insulation?
Yes, if your existing insulation is in good condition (dry, not contaminated by pests or mold), we can add blown-in insulation on top to reach the target R-value. If the existing insulation is damaged or contaminated, we recommend removal first.
How much does blown-in insulation cost?
For a typical 1,200-1,500 sq ft attic upgraded to R-50, expect to invest $3,000-$6,000 before rebates. With BC Hydro and FortisBC rebates, many homeowners save $750-$2,000+ off the total. We provide detailed quotes with exact pricing.
How long does blown-in insulation last?
Properly installed blown-in insulation lasts 20-30 years or more. Cellulose insulation is treated to resist fire, pests, and mold. The key to longevity is proper attic ventilation and moisture management, which we include with every installation.
