Many new home builders are proud to use progressive building techniques. The Blow-In-Blanket System (BIBS) is one type of insulation method that can be used in the exterior walls of homes. It is often considered a superior method over batt insulation because it does not settle or deteriorate over time. Nor does it leave gaps or spaces unfilled allowing air to penetrate.
By blowing fiberglass insulation into fabric-encased framing members, a consistent layer of insulation is formed to protect your home from the outside air. The fiberglass fill is packed in so tightly that it leaves no room for gaps or settling over time. An energy efficient R-value of 15 is achieved with the density of two pounds per cubic inch. This is just one outstanding and efficient component of many new homes, and applies towards an ENERGY STAR rating. This makes an outstanding re-sale tool in the future too!
