      I have 2800 sqft to cover and want an R49 value how many bags do I need?

      Answer This Question

      Hi Amelia! To achieve R49 across 2800 sq ft, you will need the insulation to be 13" thick which would require 175 bags.

        (1)

        It covers 48 sq ft but at what thickness? It would be helpful if your calculation of sq ft also had a thickness or R value variable included in your formula (ie) 30' wide x 32' long = 960 sq ft. If I want a R value of R20, how many bags do I need?
        BySep 18, 2026
        1 Answer | 
        Answer This Question

        You will need to cover the 960 sq ft. at a thickness of 7in to achieve an R value of 20. This will require about 23 bags of insulation.

          Need to insulate my attic to R30 and my dimensions are 28’x60’ how many bags do I need. The product information does not provide coverage and R value per bag.

          1 Answer | 
          Answer This Question

          Dale, the thickness of which you blow the insulation when covering your attic will determine the R-value. For example, 1 inch of insulation will provide a 3.8 R value so you will need to blow the insulation 8 inches thick to achieve R30. Each bag will cover approx. 25 sq ft at 8 inches thick, meaning you will need about 77 bags.

            Doesn’t work well with AttiCat machine
            The insulation is great but does not work with Home Depot AttiCat expanding blow-in machine rental. Had to cut bags down the middle and bags did not keep the material tight.

              Item was easy to handle and spread evenly. Cost of the product was really cheap compared to others.

              Placed online order and picked up next day. Got the free blower rental at the same time and staff was excellent getting order loaded and terms of free rental. Product is messy like all blown in insulation but works as expected.

              Having been "attacked" as a kid by fiberglass batting, the biggest and best aspect of this product is how person-friendly it is- absolutely no itching. A regular, cloth mask and basic eye protection complete my protective gear for this job and it all works just fine. The weight and size of the bags are easily managed. The compression of the product is a bit uneven as density of the material varies across each bag. This is a small, but real problem when trying to lay down an even layer. The only problem I had was the condition of nearly half the bags was "rough"- the product was not sealed, but open to the elements. I had to re-bag each of them to transport and protect the product.

              Great insulation!
              Very easy to use blown in cellulose insulation (25 pounds). Will require the use of a blower, but that is easily rentable at the big box store. You will need two people to complete this task. Above our bathroom and attic previously had blown in cellulose, So this was a nice addition to add more R value. Probably a good idea to do this installation in the fall or winter or early spring when the attic temperatures are cooler. I personally haven’t noticed any changes with sound, but it’s never been an issue for us. Can’t go wrong with cellulose!

              Only for trained insulators
              I can see the benefit of this product. It was not what I thought it would be. It requires equipment that only a professional insulator would have. I have tried searching for equipment to rent; I have noted that only trained personnel should attempt to use this product. That information is included on the label. If I would have known this, I would not have chosen this product.

              Great product
              Blown-in insulation offers numerous benefits for homeowners seeking energy efficiency and comfort. It effectively fills gaps and crevices, creating a tight seal that significantly reduces heat transfer, which can lead to energy savings of up to 30% on heating and cooling costs. This type of insulation is also quick to install, making it a cost-effective choice compared to traditional rolled insulation. Additionally, blown-in insulation enhances indoor air quality by preventing pollutants from entering the home and provides soundproofing benefits, reducing noise from outside and between rooms. Overall, it is a valuable investment that improves home comfort while lowering energy bills.

              Cellulose Insulation
              Received this bag of cellulose insulation packaged in tightly in this plastic wrapping in a rectangular shape. I chose not to use an insulation blowing system for just this one bag of insulation. I wore all the appropriate PPE while using this product even though it wasn't too bad in the air. It was tightly compacted and I just grabbed hunks of it out by hand and worked them between my gloved hands until the pieces were more granular and then tossed the material into areas of my attic that were lacking the proper levels of insulation. This product had a brown color to it were as my current insulation was white because it was some sort of wool insulation. The process was fairly quick and I hope it helps out some with keeping the house insulated better.

              So far so good
              Shipped pretty quickly. Great that this is supposed to be more green/Eco-friendly, and it is. You can actually see bits of newspaper in it. Not sure what the rest is, looks kinda like ground up cardboard fibers, label says 100% recycled paper. It is pretty dusty though. And also good to see it's class A fire rating. I used this only on the attic floor, no walls. Can't speak of it's effectiveness and how much it'll settle yet.
