Is Blown-In Insulation Healthy?
Using blown-in insulation properly can be the most energy-efficient and safest solution for your home. Manufactured from materials such as fiberglass, cellulose, or mineral wool, these products are designed to trap air and reduce heat loss from your home.
Although blown-in insulation is made from safe materials and typically does not pose a health risk, it is important to take precautions when handling or installing it. It is also wise to choose insulation that contains natural fire-retardants such as boric acid or borax, which can provide an additional layer of safety.
Can You Get Sick From Blown Insulation?
The short answer is yes, but the likelihood of getting sick depends on a few factors. Blown insulation can contain dust, mold spores, and other particles that may cause health issues if inhaled. This is especially true for older homes that have not been regularly maintained or inspected.ย
If you are considering having blown insulation installed in your home, it is important to make sure that the area is properly ventilated and cleaned prior to installation. This will help reduce your chances of becoming ill from inhaling any mold spores or other hazardous particles.
Which Material Used In Blown Insulation?
Blown insulation is a popular insulation method used to insulate both walls and attics. It is made up of insulation material that comes as loose fibers, pellets, or granules.
Mineral wool, fiberglass, and cellulose are among the most common insulation materials used in blown insulation. Cellulose insulation comes in the form of loose-fill insulation, which is often made from recycled paper materials.
Mineral wool insulation is typically composed of either rock or slag minerals that are spun into fibers and then treated with fire retardants to make it more effective.

Frequently
Asked Questions
Blown-in wall insulation is an effective way of insulating walls, but it does come with some potential drawbacks. The most common issues are settling, inadequate coverage, and air leakage.ย
Over time, the insulation material can settle unevenly within the wall cavity, which reduces its effectiveness as a thermal barrier. Additionally, if the installation wasn’t completed properly, some areas of the wall may have inadequate coverage or insufficient insulation.
Yes, the build-up of heat can cause a fire in the attic. Because attics are typically not well insulated, they are prone to collecting and trapping heat. This trapped heat generates significantly higher temperatures than inside living spaces. If temperatures become too high, combustible materials such as wood or insulation can catch fire quickly and spread throughout the attic space.
When it comes to choosing the best insulation for your home, spray foam insulation is often the top choice. Spray foam insulation is spray-applied and forms a tight seal that prevents air leakage, making it a highly energy-efficient insulation solution. For spray foam insulation to be installed safely and correctly, special equipment and safety precautions must be taken.
In addition, to spray foam insulation, attic cleaning is also important for energy efficiency. Attic cleaning should be done regularly to remove dust, dirt, mold, and other debris that can reduce airflow through the attic, preventing warm air from escaping in the winter months and cool air from entering in the summer months. Attic Pros professional insulation services are available in this regard.
