The items listed below may be found around your house or can be purchased at your retailer. 

Transporting GreenFiber Insulation typically requires only a pickup truck.

Before you leave the store, test the machine for operation and ensure you have 100' of blowing hose.

Gather Installation Materials

  • The proper number of bags of GreenFiber Insulation for the desired R-value.
  • A blowing machine and hose. Place outside your home or in garage.
  • A heavy-duty 12-gauge extension cord.
  • A tarp to be placed under the blowing machine to catch excess material.
  • A ladder to gain access to the attic if needed.
  • Safety eyewear and N95 NIOSH-approved particulate masks such as a 3M model #8210 or #8511 or equivalent for protection against nuisance dust..
  • Adequate lighting in the attic for installation.
  • A ruler or other measuring device to monitor the depth of insulation.
  • Soffit vent chutes (if needed).
  • Metal barrier material for three- inch clearance around recessed lights and other heat sources. Do not use paper, cardboard or other potentially combustible materials as a barrier.
  • A vehicle to transport the blowing machine, GreenFiber Insulation and other materials.
