Blown-In Cellulose Insulation

Blown-in cellulose is applied with professional-grade equipment that distributes the fibers evenly into attics, wall cavities, and other tight spaces. This process creates a uniform layer of coverage that seals gaps and improves energy efficiency.

Popular applications include:

  • Open attics in new or existing homes
  • Interior and exterior wall cavities
  • Ceilings and floors for sound control
  • Hard-to-reach or irregularly shaped areas

Frequently Asked Questions About Cellulose Insulation

Still have questions about cellulose insulation? We have answers!

Is cellulose insulation environmentally friendly and sustainable?

Yes. Cellulose insulation is made primarily from recycled paper products and helps reduce landfill waste. It is one of the most environmentally conscious insulation materials available in Virginia.

Does cellulose insulation provide soundproofing benefits in addition to thermal insulation?

Absolutely. Because of its density, cellulose absorbs sound better than many other insulation types, reducing noise from traffic, neighbors, or between interior rooms.

Cellulose vs. fiberglass insulation — which is better?

Both products are effective, but cellulose provides superior air sealing and sound absorption, while fiberglass offers affordability and versatility. Our experts can help you choose the right material for your home and budget.

Is cellulose insulation safe?

Yes. Cellulose insulation is treated with borates, a non-toxic fire retardant and pest deterrent, making it safe for both families and pets.

Are there any government incentives or rebates for installing cellulose insulation?

Virginia homeowners may qualify for rebates or energy-efficiency incentives when upgrading their insulation. Our team can connect you with the latest programs.

What is the cellulose insulation cost?

The price varies depending on the size of your project and whether you’re insulating an attic, walls, or floors. Southland Insulators offers free estimates to provide an accurate cost for your specific needs.

Do I need to remove old cellulose insulation before adding more?

In most cases, no. If the existing insulation is dry and in good condition, additional cellulose can be added on top to increase performance. If there are signs of water damage, mold, or pests, removal may be necessary before installation.
