Loose fill blown in insulation is best for tight spaces or if your attic already has a layer of insulation that just needs to be topped off.

The type of material you use is up to you. The machine has wheels for easier maneuverability and transport and comes with 100 feet of hose two 50 sections with connector to achieve optimum coverage. If you choose loose fill insulation you ll need to rent a machine to install it. The owens corning atticat blown insulation system is a fast and easy solution to insulate your attic.

If you do the job yourself with a rented blower get one person to help you to keep the blower full and working while you work the hose in the attic or wall. I m considering working in a zone by zone fashion using either a mulching leaf blower or a shop vac sucking one area of attic floor clean and dumping the insulation into another part of the attic. A well insulated home increases comfort and can save up to 15 on heating and cooling costs. Air seal the newly exposed area as well as doing some other repairs mainly installing fixing soffit baffles then use the same technique to.

If you have a large attic or wall to fill with insulation consider renting a professional grade insulation blower with a much larger capacity. It also offers exceptional thermal and sound control performance.
