Question:
What is the best type for blown in insulation
Answer:
The best type of blown insulation for an attic would be a fiberglass loose fill, most of the fiberglass blown insulation are non-corrosive, non-flammable, and non-combustible, and pest resistant. It is a far better product than cellulose, cellulose is a less expensive but it is a food source for pests and it settle considerablely more.
