Benefits of Clean Attic Insulation
Keep Moisture Out Of Your Kent Home
- Holes or cracks in an attic or crawl space allow moisture and water to enter into the structure of your home. Mold and mildew thrive in the dim, warm conditions of the attic, crawl space, and wall cavities. The presence of mold and mildew drastically decrease the air quality of your home and causes decay to a home’s structure.

Types of Attic Insulation We Install In Kent, WA
Spray Foam Attic Insulation
Spray foam insulation is made from two types of composite material. When sprayed out of the tip of the spray foam gun, the substance gradually expands, filling in the cracks and crannies of your attic before curing. Spray foam insulation is the most effective material for insulating your attic available.
Fiberglass Attic Insulation
Fiberglass attic insulation is usually installed as large segments of insulation that are rolled or laid out onto a surface, such as flooring, ceilings, or in wall cavities. However, blown fiberglass is becoming more and more popular, comprising one of the main insulation jobs we’re asked to install in Kent, WA. This type of insulation is made of a mixture of natural sand and recycled glass.
Cellulose Attic Insulation
Cellulose attic insulation is made from recycled paper products, primarily newsprint and is very popular in Kent, WA homes. It’s recycled material content is very high, generally between 82-85%. The manufacturing process reduces the paper products to very small pieces, which are then fiberized and mixed with a flame and insect retardant, usually mineral borate or ammonium sulfate. Cellulose insulation is primarily found in pellet form as a blown-in insulation, but can be manufactured in batts as well.
Cotton Attic Insulation
Cotton has become a favorite of the environmentally friendly Kent community. Recycled blue jeans have been used in its production, as well as other natural cotton fibers gleaned from industrial scrap. Most cotton insulations consist of 85% recycled cotton and about 15% plastic fibers, which are generally treated with boric acid as a flame retardant. Cotton insulation is non- toxic, and can be installed without respiratory or skin exposure protection. Unlike fiberglass attic insulation, no reports have been made of itchiness or burning of the skin when in contact with cotton attic insulation.
Denim Attic Insulation
Using recycled jeans, post-industrial denim and cotton, denim attic insulation is an eco-friendly attic insulation material for your Kent home. Without the itchy fibers that many other types of insulation contain, denim insulation is just as effective as fiberglass and cellulose insulation.
