Looking for the perfect insulation solution for your home or building can be daunting, but don’t worry. SWORD Roofing is here to help. Based in Cincinnati, our experienced team offers top-notch and cost-effective insulation solutions that will help you reduce energy costs, stay cozy, and positively impact the environment.
We understand the importance of proper insulation in maintaining comfortable temperatures, reducing energy consumption, and improving your quality of life.
Proper attic insulation helps reduce heat loss and gain.
What Is Blown-In Insulation?
Blown-in insulation is loose insulation that is fed through a hose and blown across the attic floor. It is a highly effective way for homeowners to improve their energy efficiency. We install it in attics only.
During installation, our team uses specialized equipment to blow the insulation into place in one even layer. Because it is loose, it settles around wiring, pipes and framing, so your home stays well insulated and comfortable year-round.
Preparation and Safety
At SWORD Roofing, we take preparation and safety seriously when it comes to installing blown-in insulation. Before we begin, we prepare the area to ensure a successful installation. This includes clearing obstacles and making sure the soffit vents stay open.
We also prioritize the safety of our installers and anyone in the surrounding area. Our team wears appropriate protective gear, including respirators and goggles, to protect against airborne particles.
Application Process
We apply blown-in insulation using specialized equipment that blows the loose material across the attic floor. It fills gaps and covers the floor evenly. Once installed, it provides a long-lasting barrier against heat transfer.
Energy Efficiency and Cost Savings
At SWORD Roofing, we understand how much energy efficiency matters to our clients. That’s why we recommend building an attic up to R-60. The deeper the insulation, the less heat moves through the ceiling, and the lower the energy bills.
Understanding R-Value
R-value is a measure of how well insulation resists the flow of heat. The higher the number, the better it insulates. In an attic, more is better.
Enough attic insulation can lead to real energy savings, as it reduces heating and cooling bills. It can also lessen the workload on your HVAC system.
A typical attic job with us runs $2,000 to $3,000, and it can be done on its own, without a new roof. Ask your utility company or tax preparer about any rebates or credits that apply.
Comfort and Moisture Control
Blown-in insulation covers the attic floor without seams, which cuts down on drafts and uneven temperatures in the rooms below.
Insulation works together with ventilation. Every roof needs intake and exhaust so the attic stays dry, which is why we check the vents whenever we insulate.
Mold and Mildew Prevention
A well-ventilated, well-insulated attic is less likely to collect the moisture that leads to mold and mildew.
A Quieter, More Even Home
A deep layer of insulation overhead also softens outside noise and keeps the rooms under the attic closer to the temperature of the rest of the house.
