Affordable Blown Insulation

We Use Different Types of Blown Insulation

Richie’s Insulation uses three different kinds of blown insulation for you, based on the unique needs and requirements of your project. We use a “net and blow” method for a new construction, where a net is put over open walls, a hole is poked in and the insulation product is blown in to create a dense pack.

Insulating an older home requires a method where holds are drilled in from the outside and the insulation material is then blown in to create a dense pack.

Blown-in cellulose insulation has been used for many years to insulate homes throughout New England and all across the country. It's typically made from recycled materials, such as recycled newsprint and paper that has been treated with fire retardants. These are nontoxic and safe to use in your home.

Blown-in cellulose insulation is a very cost-effective way to insulate a home. It is very durable, safe and comes in two distinct forms:

  • A loose fill, which is used primarily for attics
  • A stabilized cellulose insulation, which is used for sidewalls and all other areas of your home.

Supreme Blown-In Cellulose Insulation

Made of as much as 85% of recycled paper, Supreme cellulose works to fill gaps and voids left by other types of insulation. It works to create an energy-saving blanket that serves to reduce air leaks, thus improving thermal management in your home.

Blown-In Rockwool Rockfill™ Insulation

Rockfill insulation is a unique material made of loose stone wool that is used in residential construction and in attic renovations. It works to fill in gaps that are found in “hard-to-reach” places, without requiring the use of a blowing machine or other insulation installation equipment, since it can be spread out easily by hand. It is a light-weight, water-repellent, fire-resistant and sound-absorbing insulation that will not allow mildew or mold growth. Rockfill insulation also does not settle like other materials, helping to maintain R-value and thermal management over time.

Knauf Jet Stream™ Insulation

Knauf’s blown-in cellulose insulation material has been designed to optimize thermal management, to fill all gaps and voids to create a thermal barrier against outside air to maintain temperature control throughout your home.

Knauf Jet Stream works to reduce utility bills for both heat and air conditioning and is made from recycled materials, making it a very environmentally friendly material.
