Why do
I use Blown
Cellulose
insulation
instead
of fiberglass
batts?
 One of
the things
we strive
for when
building
homes is
to be as
energy efficient
as possible.
I have received
more thank
yous and
compliments
from our
clients
about the
savings
they are
receiving
on their
Gas/Electric
bill. I
have heard
comparisons
like, my
old house
was half
the size
of our new
one and
our NIPSCO
bill is
less!!
Why does
this happen?
- We use
Blown
Cellulose
Insulation.
- We use
90%plus
High Efficiency
furnaces.
- We use
energy
efficient
Andersen
Windows.
When the
cellulose
is blown
into the
wall cavity
it adheres
or sticks
to everything
it touches.
Sealing
the wall
cavity for
very little
air infiltration.
The cellulose
gets behind
outlet and
switch boxes.
It sticks
to the 2x4
studs and
the exterior
wall sheathing.
"Air
infiltration"
is the main
culprit
in stopping
a home from
being energy
efficient.
Fiberglas
batts are
good at
stopping
air infiltration,
but not
as good
as blown
cellulose.
Blown Cellulose
may cost
10 to 15%
more than
fiberglass
when installed,
but it will
pay for
its self
in savings
in one to
two years.
