How Do You Install Blown-In Cellulose Insulation?
Blown-in cellulose insulation is an environmentally friendly way to insulate your house. The main ingredient in cellulose insulation is recycled newspaper. Chemical additives make it fire retardant. With the right tools, blown-in cellulose insulation is safe and easy to install especially in attics with irregular spaces. Any insulation installation produces dust; but cellulose insulation doesn’t make you itch like fiberglass insulation does. Read on to learn more. Place strips of plywood for a walkway down the length of your attic. If you want to reserve part of the attic for storage, place plywood strips there as well so you don’t accidentally step through the ceiling. Measure the length and width of your attic space. Determine how thick you want your blown-in insulation. Use the formula on the cellulose insulation package to determine how much to buy. Purchase the insulation. If you don’t have dust masks and goggles, purchase them also as well as any other supplies you might need for
