Residential/Remodel/Custom/Production/Commercial
True Insulation offers a wide variety of insulation needs. All great options which is why we will always encourage you to be 100% comfortable with your choice knowing you will have an energy-efficient project.
Spray Foam Insulation
Spray foam is an insulation developed from 2 types of composite material, polyurethane, and isocyanate. When combining these two liquid chemical at just the right temperatures they end up expanding and becoming a solid. There are two types of Spray foam insulations- Open cell & Close cell ,Open cell being the less expensive in general but it also has a lower R-value per inch (3.6 compared to 7) so a thicker layer is often required.
Most residential & wood frame projects tend to only require open cell insulation having close cell only as an option. On the other hand close cell is always highly recommended on metal buildings as it provides a higher R-value per inch and adds structural strength to wall, ceiling, and roof assembly. It stops both air and moisture.
Fiberglass Batts
Batt insulation is an inexpensive and the most common way to insulate a project. Fiberglass batt insulation is tailored to fit in between studs if not then cut and installed by our professionals. It is made of fiberglass or mineral wool which is pre-cut into flat rectangular pieces that is usually rated at R-11 for 3.5″ thick walls or R-3.7 per inch with some others being called high density batts specifically designed for warmer parts of the country like Texas coming in at an R value of R-15 for 3.5" thick walls along with others of its kind. Some batt insulation also comes with a paper (kraft) facing that is most commonly used as an additional sound barrier for interior walls.
B.I.B.S
Blown in blanket system also known as "B.I.B.S" for short, is the process of insulating a project that consists mainly of two steps. First our professionals would start off by firmly attaching a special cloth like blanket on to the studs of the required walls using either a pneumatic or manual hand held stapler. The second step being filling in between the studs with precise air pressure the actual insulation known as loose fill blown/fiberglass. When doing this step the insulation will be compacted inside the "blanket" to its desired R-value being R-15 for 3.5″ thick walls or R-4.23 per inch. In comparison, fiberglass batt insulation is rated at R-11 for 3.5″ thick walls or R-3.7 per inch.
Attic Blown
Fiberglass blown insulation is a soft fluffy loose fill insulation material that is most commonly used in attics and walls. This insulation can literally be blown into hard-to-reach spaces using a blower machine with a hose attachment. The R value per inch for this system varies in the manufacturer slightly the same as the other systems but the average comes in at an
R-value per inch of 2.2 – 2.9 .
Radiant / Ignition Barrier
Serving different purposes, Ignition barrier (in colors White, Ice Gray, Charcoal ) is most commonly used in commercial projects and restaurants as a thermal and fire retardant coating that is sprayed on top of the spray foam previously installed. Where as the Radiant Barrier (Only in Aluminum color) is typically sprayed directly on a roof deck of a home or project is going to have or has existing blown, this with the purpose of reducing the heat waves from the roof down in to the attic.
Extractions / Removals
As the phrase goes,"out with the old, in with the new".
Extractions / Removals are exactly what they sound like, they are mainly done on remodels and existing homes with existing insulation. The primary reason for this process is to ensure that your home is heated and cooled properly. With age, attic blown insulation typically looses its R- value, meaning that it loses its ability to effectively regulate temperatures and insulate your home.
